Full Name:<\/strong> Marisa Carlson <\/span><\/p>\n

Internship Company:<\/strong> PepsiCo\"Marisa\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Internship Position:<\/strong> Corporate Control Intern aiding Internal Reporting<\/span><\/p>\n

Internship Location:<\/strong> White Plains\/Purchase, NY<\/span><\/p>\n

While looking for your internship, what services did you use at the Center for Career Development? \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I had my resume checked and did two mock interviews at the Career Development Center. <\/span><\/p>\n

Are you involved in any of the COES clubs and\/or programs? If yes, how did they help prepare you for your internship?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am a part of the Women in Business Planning Committee ,which is where I had the opportunity to meet the Keynote speaker for the 2014 conference Anne Fink, who is a Holy Cross alumni and COO of PepsiCo Foodservice. I also met two other PepsiCo employees, who graduated from Holy Cross, that aided me in the interview process. <\/span><\/p>\n

What skills did you gain from your internship experience and how have they added to your professionalism? <\/strong><\/p>\n

I gained both personal skills and professional skills this summer. I gained a better understanding of Accounting Information Systems, Excel, Ad-hoc capabilities and Financial Statement components. I also was able to sharpen my organizational and communication skills. <\/span><\/p>\n

How did this experience influence or connect to your future career plans \/ goals?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am an accounting major, so I will hopefully be able to return to PepsiCo or another major corporation after working for one of the Big Four accounting firms. <\/span><\/p>\n

What is one piece of advice that you would give to the future intern? <\/strong><\/p>\n

The best piece of advice I got at PepsiCo was to make sure your work is accurate. If you have a spelling error on the first page of a report, all of your hard work may be disregarded. This one thing has stuck with me and is applicable to all aspects of life. <\/span><\/p>\n

Overall, what was your most exciting experience at your internship?<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

I know it’s cliche, but the PepsiCo environment was probably the best part of my internship. I had a lot of fun participating in a wide variety of intern activities ( which I won\u2019t spoil) and I also was able to learn and accomplish a lot. My manager gave me meaningful tasks and was there to help me succeed. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
