My primary responsibilities have been: • Delivering workshops and demos, providing the technical ‘how-to’ for Oracle products as well as showcasing Oracle capabilities such as Oracle Analytics Cloud, APEX, Oracle Digital Assistant, VBCS, Autonomous Database, and various other IaaS & SaaS Services. • Creating and presenting data-driven insights to Oracles internal Sales as well as customers • Assessing the potential application of company products to meet customer needs.

    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
  • For the first couple of months, I was not given too much responsibility. But this was as I was learning the appropriate tools and I needed the time to shadow and learn. However, I was soon given very real responsibility to deliver work and build things. During the second half of my placement, I have had a large amount of responsibility as I am the first point of contact for a customer I am working with, to develop a database solution.

  • 4. How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?

I really appreciate them and made my time at Oracle great. - The other interns were always supportive and more than happy to help on any project. - The intern program leader was very supportive and it was made clear if we had sort of issues, she would be there for us. - Across my internship, I had two mentors who were interesting and very helpful. - I worked with various other people across the organization, and everyone I encountered wassupportive.
