So my internships at IBM begins soon. Before I even start, lets check the benefits/accomplishments.
Me getting in was not based off my GPA. My GPA is a 2.9, not impressive, not bad, but not at IBM is looking for. What got me in was
1.) Connections
My friend on the track team let me talk to her dad who works there who first got my foot in the door.
2.) Experience and Accomplishments
My past experience and accomplishments say that I am very motivated and have some skill, and a high ability to learn new stuff.
3.)IPAT Test
IBMS infamous test. They say there is no pass or fail but thats a lie, it determines how smart you are. And apparently I did so well my GPA was no longer a factor.
So thats how I got in. Congrats. Now I have to start planning my next steps.
I've come to discover that good planning one of the keys to success.
I need to take as much as I can from this internship IBM is a world known country, there is tons I can learn on how to do things. First is how they set up their business structure. From hiring to firing employees, mananging money, and most importantly the services they provide what people want and need.
Then comes growth within myself. How do my interpersonal skills grow, ways of thinking change, understanding of concepts became more grande. I'm looking forward for big things with this internship.
