Hey, guys.
00:00:00:31 – 00:00:03:06
My name’s Lei Zhong,
and you all can just call me Helen.
00:00:03:06 – 00:00:05:05
I’m from Shanghai, China.
00:00:05:05 – 00:00:08:00
Currently I’m a senior
at Emerson College,
00:00:08:00 – 00:00:11:40
majoring in marketing communications
with a business studies minor.
00:00:11:44 – 00:00:15:15
I was a 2023 summer intern
at Dell Technologies,
00:00:15:27 – 00:00:19:13
and my title was
Global Alliance Intern.
00:00:29:09 – 00:00:32:33
I was trying really hard
to find internships because I’m
00:00:32:33 – 00:00:36:35
an international student, but luckily
the recruit team at Dell Technologies
00:00:36:35 – 00:00:40:38
messaged me on WayUp,
which is a job search website.
00:00:40:42 – 00:00:42:26
I looked through the requirements
00:00:42:26 – 00:00:46:11
and it seemed like a good fit for me,
so I applied right away.
00:00:46:15 – 00:00:49:30
I was really interested in this
internship because first of all,
00:00:49:30 – 00:00:53:12
I know Dell Technologies is
a big I.T. company.
00:00:53:12 – 00:00:56:48
If I can get this position,
it’s undoubtedly a great opportunity
00:00:56:48 – 00:01:01:31
for me to advance both my academic
and professional objectives.
00:01:01:35 – 00:01:06:40
And secondly,
as I have no prior expertise in the I.T.
00:01:06:40 – 00:01:11:06
field, I think I would be able
to learn more about technology
00:01:11:06 – 00:01:16:40
and to know what it is like to market
tech companies’ projects.
00:01:20:25 – 00:01:23:49
My responsibilities for this
position was to help
00:01:23:49 – 00:01:28:05
various managers with the marketing
components of their projects,
00:01:28:09 – 00:01:31:30
which involves
creating appealing presentations
00:01:31:30 – 00:01:35:21
and infographics
for internal and external usage.
00:01:35:25 – 00:01:40:45
I also participated in content marketing, brainstorming, and individually produced
00:01:40:45 – 00:01:46:13
all social cards for Dell’s online
social media marketing campaigns.
00:01:46:19 – 00:01:50:14
I was also responsible
for creating the templates
00:01:50:14 – 00:01:54:17
for the departments quarterly company newsletters.
00:01:57:25 – 00:01:59:14
For my internship role specifically,
00:01:59:14 – 00:02:02:06
I think being able to make appealing
00:02:02:06 – 00:02:06:00
presentations, infographics, and pictures for Dell’s
00:02:06:00 – 00:02:10:25
online social media campaigns
are essential skills.
00:02:10:29 – 00:02:14:16
Since it represents the company,
it needs to be creative
00:02:14:19 – 00:02:19:37
and original and at the same time
it needs to follow the
guidelines of the company.
00:02:19:38 – 00:02:22:06
So other than that, I think
00:02:22:17 – 00:02:27:30
the adaptability and willingness to ask questions are also really important.
