Hello everyone, I'm Edgar, and MBA 1 from Ross... well I guess now is MBA 2 as I already finished my first year at Ross and I'm heading towards my summer internship. To give you some background let me say that: I come from Mexico, I have an undergraduate degree in Mechatronic Engineering (sounds cool, huh) and 3 years experience as management consultant at the BCG.
But, ok, what I am doing this summer? Well, I'm going to intern at Cummins Inc. as Corporate Strategy intern. Cummins is a company with almost 100 years of historty; they are one of the leading diesel engine manufatures in the world. But that's not all; they are also leaders in design and innovation. I wish I could tell you more about the work I'll be doing during the summer, but the true is that I have no idea!, haha. I guess we both should wait till May 10th (my start date) to know. I'll keep you informed.
This summer internship is a great opportunity, because I will be working with a Fortune 500 company at a position that usually is reserved for people with more experience and therefore you don't see at an MBA 1... err... MBA2 resume that often. I'm sure that I'll do a great job, I'm looking forward to start so I can leverage all this experience to continue my professional and personal development.
As speaking of the personal side, the only thing that worries me a little is the town I'm moving to for the summer, Columbus, IN. This is the hometown for Cummins there they have their Corporate Offices. Nevertheless, Columbus is a very small town with little to do... but well, let's see what happens, good thing is that I'll live across the street from a golf course and that Indianapolis is just a short 40 min away ;)
Well, I have to go for now, time to start packing and to take the little MX-5 for an oil change before leaving for Indiana!
