    • Yes

  • 8. What advice would you give to others applying to GE Aerospace

    • Be honest in your interviews, the most important thing they want to see is that you are willing to learn and accept feedback and work on that feedback. A lot of interns here are on roles that they have not covered a module in uni before. So being able to learn new things is great. But also being responsible enough to be accountable if you mess up.
