Marketing and Corporate Communications Intern

June - August 2019 • New York City, NY

What I liked

I liked being able to work with upper-level employees and take on different projects throughout the summer, mainly internal and external publications that bank put out. What I liked most of this was that these projects were all real tasks that had to be done, not just made-up projects for interns. I also got to work different events that the company held. At the end of the summer, the interns were separated into teams and had to come up with ideas on how to market mobile banking usage to low-to-moderate income consumers, which we then presented to the bank's senior executives.

What I wish was different

Nothing! I feel like I had such a great experience and learned so much. Working there definitely made me feel more confident and capable of being able to take on a full-time marketing or comms job when I finish school.

Advice

I would say that you shouldn't be afraid to talk to people and ask to take on different projects. Sometimes as an intern you may feel like you are bothering the full-time employees, but that's not the case; they really want to help you. Also, since you have to be there 40 hours a week you may as well take advantage and learn as much as you can. Chances are people need help with different projects, so aside from your own learning you are actually helping out another permanent employee as well.

What I wish was different

Advice

Don't be afraid to ask questions in order to build knowledge about the career you would like to pursue/ are interested in.
