Overview
As the IT intern, I am involved in setting up and maintaining meeting room equipment, creating new apps to help digitalise processes at JDE and looking after network issues. On a day to day basis, I problem solve any sort of generic IT problems that other employees may approach me with.
Skills
I have developed a lot of my trouble shooting skills and inquisitive thinking. I am constantly given the opportunity to join and shadow any sort of projects that I take an interest in - which is very exciting. Also, it builds communication as you have to discuss problems with people and understanding where potential technical issues interlink.
Responsibilities
I was responsible for the functionality of devices and technical equipment that is essentially used. At the same time, I was fully supported and free to ask as many questions as needed because they understand we are just interns with little experience in the real world. I was contributing to projects that were actually implemented and given freedom to approach it how I would like to.
Support & Guidance
I received loads of support and everyone was super approachable from the start of the interview process, the onboarding process and all through out the experience. I never felt that I was unable to ask for help.
Culture
The company culture is very friendly and everyone says hello while walking around doing their daily jobs. General atmosphere is relaxed.
Your Impressions
Great place to comfortably understand what a real work place is like and what will be expected of you. But it also is a very chill place to enjoy your role and work with other interns.
Yes
Don't feel stressed out or try or be worried about being an exceptional candidate. They just want someone who enjoys what they do and is willing to put in as much effort as they can because they are passionate to learn more about what they do.
