EDUCATION SESSION #1005
Maximize the Value of Internships and Become Unforgettable Early in Your Career
Some say, "You can’t get a job without experience and you can’t get experience without a job.” Internships are the proven path to gaining experience and training that lay the foundation for your career.

Learn the essential steps to starting your professional journey with an internship, from self-discovery to the application process. Get tips to distinguish yourself from your peers on the job and self-promote your successes. Master the fine arts of asking for and incorporating feedback, plus networking. These skills will help you leverage your internship experience to land that first meaningful job, wherever you travel in the global marketplace.

Ellecia Saffron, Founder and Managing Director of Maysaffron, will reflect on her experiences as one of the first female interns in her cohort at Macquarie Bank Australia and lessons learned in her various roles in the financial services industry.

This program is appropriate for university students, 100WF members and their guests, including family members, mentees, and interested colleagues, with networking to follow.
