Overview
I organise calls both globally and for EMEA, whether thats setting them up or preparing for them. I also manage the knowledge storage catalogues, where loads of materials are stored. There is also a lot of adhoc involved.
Skills
I learnt loads of new skills, particularly excel skills. Also design skills for designing powerpoint slides. I've learnt to use many new tools. I've also developed confidence.
Responsibilities
Yes, a lot more than I thought I would as an intern. I got the chance to sit in on some really important meetings and carry out some important tasks.
Support & Guidance
I had a lot of support. Both my task manager and my foundation manager were really supportive. I had daily calls with my task manager to check in with each other on not only work but also just to have a chat. My foundation manager was always there if I needed.
Culture
I am not sure I got the complete experience, as I spent the whole year working from home. But IBM felt like a really supportive company, who were very interested in your wellbeing. I even got a free day off to focus on my wellbeing .
Your Impressions
I have very much enjoyed my internship, I feel I have been given many exciting opportunities and really enjoyed the tasks I was doing.
Yes
Go for it. Show passion for IBM, they love people working for them that are passionate about their company. Make as many connections as you can.
