Overview
My role as a summer intern is to work on the project I have been given at the start of my Internship. My approach to this project is up to me. As I am near the end of my project, my day-to-day tasks are focused around building a presentation.
Skills
I have learnt a lot of new excel and PowerPoint skills. The number of meetings I have had with a variety of different people has really improved my communication skills as well.
Responsibilities
Yes. I believe I was given a great deal of responsibility. I was completely responsible for how I approached my project and then interacting with various stakeholoders.
Support & Guidance
I was given a lot of support and guidance. The campus recruitment team were very approachable for any support and my manager and director also provided a high level of support to do with project related work.
Culture
I read before about the positive Amex company culture however, after being with the company for nearly 10 weeks I realize that the praise they get is very much deserved. Absolutely excellent culture consistent with every employee I met.
Your Impressions
I really enjoyed my internship! If it was possible to be in-person I could've gained added benefits, but for the circumstances, it was extremely enjoyable.
Yes
Make sure you apply and understand the business area you are applying for. Also focus on the Blue Box Values and how you have demonstrated them.
