Overview
I was involved in supporting Talent Marketing campaigns across EMEA region to support IBM's hiring efforts. I was involved in preparing and planning campaigns that included social media activities, virtual events and utilising external job boards. I was also heavily involved in designing new promotional assets for IBM job opportunities as and when required.
Skills
My creative skills have definitely improved over the last year and equally my soft skills. I have grown my knowledge on industry software such as Adobe Creative Cloud and I am far more confident at presenting and stakeholder relations.
Responsibilities
Definitely. I felt there was a perfect balance between guidance/oversight and allowing me to use my own creative ideas to solve problems.
Support & Guidance
Lots. IBM has a perfect setup for taking university placement students. You're assigned to a foundation manager who is always available to help answer and questions about settling into IBM or technical things you may not be able to ask your day to day manager. This means there is always someone on-hand to offer support if you need it.
Culture
I throughoughly enjoyed the culute at IBM. I never felt like I couldn't ask a member of my team for help. There is a culture of learning and being the best version of yourself but also understanding that your welfare comes first before anything.
Your Impressions
I loved my time at IBM. Whilst I was completely virtual for all 12 months due to covid-19 pandemic, I don't feel like this held me back in getting the most of my time there. IBM have a smooth internship program and this really showed in pivoting to a fully virtual onboarding process.
Yes
You will get a one of a kind experience at IBM - working in a company with 300k employees is a real experience that has it's benefits and drawbacks. If you want to experience a corporate job but with a modern and inclusive culture, this is the place for you!
