Meet Steven
- Name: Steven
- University: University of Bath
- Course: Electronic Engineering (Computers, Electronics & Communications)
- Position: Technical Marketing Engineer
What was the application process like?
I applied via a fairly unofficial channel, my CV was sent to the intern team at Intel by my tutor. I was then contacted and invited to attend the Intel Intern assessment day. I was impressed by the assessment day, there were many varied activities which didn’t only test what you know but also who you are as a person. I believe that the intern assessment centre is one of the best ones around, in particular I thought that the presentation and the group exercise were very good activities. Following this the job offers came a week later. I had to choose between two departments within Intel, one located in Swindon the other in Lincoln.
What did you do on a daily basis?
This is hard to pinpoint as it varies dramatically, one week you could be building machines, the next designing scripts, travelling, designing benchmarks and presenting at events. I worked on a project called the Retail Road show for approximately 75% of my time, however I was involved in other projects such as working as a zone manager on this year’s REC in Monaco. This involved presenting to account managers, major customers and Intel VPs . To prepare this I had to design and source the demos and write the marketing and graphics content for the area.
Highlights of the Job?
The amount of travel I have done has exposed me to not only different cultures but also different ways of doing business in the technology sector. For example it was interesting to compare markets and business environments in Switzerland and Israel, and the contrast between the two is enormous. I also really enjoyed presenting on topics I am passionate about to big companies such as Acer, Asus, Comet, HP, Lenovo, Sony and Toshiba.
What was your greatest challenge?
I was given 5 hours to create a demo on behalf of a senior Intel figure for a very large client with no background knowledge of the underlying technology. I received some basic guidelines and directions from colleagues at Intel, but had to do the majority of the discovery and learning by myself.
What did you learn on your placement / Internship?
I chose to work in the PTEG department because it gave me the opportunity to learn about Technical Marketing. I had no previous experience of marketing before so learning techniques and practices in a Technology environment was a big learning curve.
How has this placement / internship affected your career prospects?
Intel produces an appraisal document which gives a very in depth account of my performance whilst I was here. In addition I believe that the placement has given me some real experience of the technical sector which I can carry forward to any new job application and position.
Any top tips for a student interested in a placement / internship here?
Be yourself in the assessment day – you can’t learn to pass an assessment day beforehand. Investigate what you are getting into – don’t go in blind – talk to people at the assessment centre, find out exactly what you will be doing and try to understand the department you will be entering.
