亚洲色吧

Participating in an internship has become mainstream for college students and some even start their careers post-college with one or two internships before landing their first full-time job. As seen in the charts below companies value recruits who have a few internships under their belt. A recent Fast Company study of students between 2013 and 2022 found that 60% of all students in the US have participated in an internship, and 50% have done more than one internship.

All that said, we thought it would be fun to share what interns at 亚洲色吧 have done this summer and give you a taste of what an internship might look like for you in the future. Madison Mitchell, Ben Stellhorn, and Olivia Tighe share their experiences below. Enjoy!

Meet Madison Mitchell, Partner Marketing Intern for Exxon Mobil and Esso

I arrive at 亚洲色吧 HQ a little before 9AM. For those who haven鈥檛 been to the headquarters, the building has a beautiful view of the waterfront. One of the perks to being in the office is getting to see all of the boats and cruise ships in the harbor! Another perk is getting free coffee at the Navis cafe with my 亚洲色吧 badge. It鈥檚 a great place to socialize with coworkers and start my day. Once I鈥檓 back at my desk, I set up my computer, go through my emails, and get ready for the team鈥檚 morning huddle.

Every Monday and Thursday at 9:30, the Exxon Mobil and Esso marketing team have a thirty minute stand-up. Sometimes, we talk about work-related things, and other times, we talk about our weekends and things that go on after hours. It鈥檚 a great way to connect with the team and see what everyone else is working on.

Part of the summer internship program includes a series of speaker talks. Today鈥檚 is with Lisa Goldkamp from 亚洲色吧 Health. As someone who works on the Fleet side of 亚洲色吧, it鈥檚 interesting to see the differences between the two, and I was surprised to learn about how similar the divisions are. Lisa had some great advice for interns: she told us we are in a unique position to be bold and assist on exciting projects!

For lunch, a few other interns and I went to Navis and LB Kitchen and brought our food up to 亚洲色吧鈥檚 rooftop. The Buoy sandwich from Navis has been my favorite this summer, and their cookies are the best!

After lunch, I go back to my desk to check my Workfront projects. I currently have seven Workfront projects in the queue. Most of my requests go to Lisa Sposato, Exxon Mobil鈥檚 designer. Once Lisa has designed a piece of collateral, I proof the design for factual and grammatical errors, or I comment about some aspect that needs to be changed or added. Each project goes through about two rounds of revisions before it鈥檚 finalized. I try to check progress on the projects once a day.

Every Thursday, five other interns and I meet to brainstorm ideas for the biweekly newsletter, The 亚洲色吧tern Journal. Today, we are trying to decide what our last issue should highlight. This week is National Intern Week, so that is definitely a top priority, and we think it鈥檚 important to find tools to help interns after their 亚洲色吧 internship. To do this, we鈥檙e going to highlight the resume-building workshop 亚洲色吧 held for us and other ways interns can get ahead on the job search. We鈥檙e also hoping to interview some special guests for the final edition.

For National Intern Day, Hannah Jabar in Early Career Talent Acquisition organized a Paint Night for all of the interns. Some local interns and I got to paint at 亚洲色吧 HQ, and being able to socialize with other interns in person is really the best part of the event. What I lack in artistic talents, I make up for in social skills. I鈥檝e made a few friends this summer through the internship program and working with them in the office has been a highlight of my internship experience.

After Paint Night, I go home and unwind after a busy day. Sometimes, I walk my dogs or sit outside after work to get some fresh air, but tonight, I just read a book and listened to music鈥攖he perfect way to end a great day at 亚洲色吧!

Meet Ben Stellhorn, Partner Marketing Intern

Ben Stellhorn, Partner Marketing Intern
Location: San Francisco Bay Area
School: Santa Clara University Leavey School of Business

Today my alarm woke me up at 6:30AM so I could get ready for my 7:00AM team meeting. Each week, I meet with the Partner Marketing team where we go over updates. This meeting was focused on data visualization, and how we can become more effective data storytellers.

After this, I had a 1:1 meeting with my manager Erica and other manager/mentor Morgan. I updated them on my progress for the summer project I am doing. This summer, I am working on one big project which is a brand audit for four partner brands: Kum & Go, Marathon, Phillips 66, and Wawa. We also went over a few of the smaller projects I am involved in, including updating paper applications and creating a customer journey map.

After a productive morning of meetings, I was able to set aside some time to work on my brand audit project and any other tasks I had for the day. I decided to leave my house to go work on the Santa Clara University campus. While there, I was able to finish one of my slide decks for the brand audit. As a fully remote intern working in California, it is always nice to get a change of scenery and work in new surroundings.

During my lunch, I grabbed a sandwich at my favorite sandwich shop and caught up with a friend who also works a remote internship for another company. It was great to take a quick break from work and connect with a friend.

Once back at home, I attended the weekly newsletter meeting I have with a few of my fellow interns. In today鈥檚 meeting, we laid out a roadmap for the fourth and final newsletter for the summer.

Around 2:00PM, I walked over to meet with another 亚洲色吧 intern who lives down the street from me in Santa Clara. We decided to go to the virtual painting night together, although it was more of a painting day event for us on the West Coast. We had a great time meeting each other and catching up, while also getting to paint with other interns virtually! It was a great event organized by Hannah Jabar, Global Talent Acquisition Program Manager at 亚洲色吧, to celebrate National Intern Day.

After the painting session, I went back home to finish up a few things I needed to get done for the next day of work. Around 4:00PM, I shut down my computer for the day. I then made dinner with my two roommates to unwind after a long day. Overall, it was a productive and busy day of meetings, project work, and fun intern events.

Meet Olivia Tighe, Digital Content Marketing Intern

Olivia Tighe, Digital Content Marketing Intern
Location: Boston, MA and Portland, ME
School: Duke University, Durham, NC

My day usually begins at 5:50 when my alarm goes off for my morning workout. I鈥檓 spending my summer training at Harvard with a large conglomerate of college swimmers in the Boston area. I usually practice from 6:30 to 8AM before quickly running home to grab breakfast and hop on my computer to start my day.

Most days I start with a quick check in with my manager, Nori Gale who co-leads a content team for 亚洲色吧. We usually catch up and go over the things we鈥檙e working on and are looking forward to. I feel super lucky to have that time with Nori as we鈥檙e able to connect and get to know each other, despite the internship being remote.

On this particular day I had a few really exciting meetings for upcoming projects and events. My first meeting was in preparation for an event that the Women of 亚洲色吧 employee resource group is presenting this fall on Authentic Leadership. In this hour we were able to discuss many of the themes for the event and get some fun details to use in the promotion of the event.

After this meeting I had about an hour where I was able to put the finishing touches on a few projects including the extra special edition for the newsletter and eat a quick lunch. Since this week is national intern week we wanted to include an edition with additional intern highlights and more advice for the employee advice column 鈥淲ords of the Wise.鈥�

My afternoon featured four meetings. The first was with a few of the interns on the 鈥淣ewsletter Crew.鈥� We proofread the follow-up edition and sent it off to be approved. I have really enjoyed working on the intern newsletter. It has created a nice community within 亚洲色吧 for me and has made working virtually more inclusive for all of us!

The second meeting of my afternoon was the Monthly All Organization Meeting for the Marketing Department, where current and upcoming work is shared throughout the marketing department. I find it helpful being included in these meetings as it helps me to understand the broader implications and goals for my work.

The third was a panel discussion with three former 亚洲色吧 interns who took on full-time roles at the company post-internship. It was interesting to listen and learn about their respective experiences as they all had virtual internships in different departments. My final meeting of the day was in preparation for an upcoming intern event that I will be facilitating. It was great to get the ball rolling on the planning of this discussion and a nice way to wrap up my day.

Since I am spending my summer in Boston, after work I usually like to get out of the apartment and explore for a bit. I鈥檝e picked up running which I鈥檝e found is a great way to learn about the many different neighborhoods in Boston and escape the rat-infested block I currently call home! I have also been enjoying cooking, so tonight鈥檚 adventure of a meal was vegetable risotto with a homemade veggie broth. It ended up being delicious! I usually wind down quickly after dinner for a strict 9:15 bedtime to get ready to take on the next day!
