(MBA, Eli Lilly) I am a rising MBA 2 student. Yes, a rising MBA 2 student now. Time really flies before we realize it. My wonderful journey starts at Ross School of Business.
After the hectic recruiting season from Dec 2009 to Jan 2010, I got the offer from Eli Lilly Corporate Finance and will start my summer in Indianapolis! This summer internship is definitely giving me brand new experience in a dynamic industry – pharmaceuticals. I worked in an energy company before coming to Ross and this internship will provide a valuable opportunity to me to work in another important sector related to people’s life and happiness. I am very glad that I grasped this opportunity and look forward to tasting the real flavor there.
At Lilly, I will work in Treasury, leading the credit management improvement project. It involves creating new training materials, process improvement, building up new templates and streamlining SAP relevant modules. This is somewhat linked to my past experience in corporate finance and I think I could get on hand very quickly. For this internship, my goal is to test my fit to this company and find whether I like people there and the future job I am going to undertake on full-time base. This is going to be very exciting as I can meet new and different people every day, know more in depth about the pharmaceutical industry and Lilly, and also have fun with other MBA interns who live in the same building!
As for the things I am ‘nervous’ about, it may be whether I can quickly mingle with the team I am going to work with. As an international student, there are still too many things such as culture, language, working style, unwritten rules and etc, to learn. How to make you likable in the team may be an important task for me. : ) Therefore, I decide to do homework to research the company and team before I arrive in Indianapolis as well as refer to the internship 101 slides shared by OCD.
Alright, I will keep updating my internship experience in Indy and see you in May!
