⭐As the year 2023 comes to an end, it seems important to reflect on key moments of this year that contributed to my growth and sparked new projects in me.
💼An experience that had a significant impact on my personal development was my 6-month internship as a Product Manager Intern at Amazon in Munich. During this time, I not only had the opportunity to work on meaningful projects, but also to meet inspiring people with diverse backgrounds and ambitious goals.
🗓I particularly enjoyed the Day 1 philosophy, which encourages creativity, adaptability and a relentless pursuit of excellence, creating an inspiring atmosphere to work, learn and make every day a stimulating experience.
This made me realize important aspects that will help students get the most out of their internship and help them grow and explore new horizons:
1) Be curious. When interning in a company, you should try to learn as much as possible using the resources available to you: sign up for training, sign up for certifications, learn about the tools available in the company, ask your colleagues for advice, read the available documents…
2) Actively seek feedback. Seeking feedback will help you identify key growth opportunities as you evolve in your internship position and will also demonstrate your willingness to strive to be the best version of yourself.
3) Set clear goals for your internship. Without clear goals, you won't be able to track your successes. Setting clear goals and reflecting on them will not only keep you motivated but will also play a key role in your quest for advancement.
4) Build strong professional relationships. By developing a strong network through coffee chats, networking events, and lunch dates, you will gain a better understanding of the bigger picture and feel much more integrated into the company. In addition, meeting other interns or recent graduates will also inspire you for future academic or professional opportunities to further develop yourself.
🔮By doing so, you're will not only be investing in your current role but also paving the way for future success.
✨I wish you a 2024 filled with success, joy, and the fulfillment of all your wishes!
