CVS Health

IT Summer Associate

June - August 2017 • Hartford, CT

What I liked

My team was friendly and accommodating in bringing me on board, and I was able to work on an interesting set of problems related to application health monitoring and data analysis. The program is quite large in Hartford, meaning that you'll get to interact with the other dozens of interns and form friendships.

What I wish was different

Hartford at times can be a bit slower and less exciting of a city.

Advice

Talk to as many superiors as you can, put time on their calendars and schedule one-on-one meetings.

Certified Pharmacy Technician

March 2013 • Montgomery, AL

What I liked

What I wish was different

The only thing I don't like amour working at a retail pharmacy is the inconsistency and looking hours. I work different shifts on different days. I can open at 8 or close at 9 it just depends.

Advice

As a pharmacy technician working at CVS can be stressful but also rewarding. I work in a fast paced environment promoting efficiency and multitasking. There are so many things I'm exposed to as far as dealing with customers, problem solving, and innovation.

Business Consultant

June - August 2019 • Blue Bell, PA

What I liked

Ease of networking, setting up informational interviews with executive management Capstone project allowed us to develop a real idea that could have been implemented Ability to connect with and talk to other students from across the US Intern conference allowed us to meet and network with all of the other summer associates

What I wish was different

More direct communication with my manager More tasks/assignments relevant to management/business More interaction within the remote offices

Advice

Take advantage of every opportunity you can to set yourself apart from the competition. By doing this, I was able to get the attention of several executive leaders as well as negotiate for a higher salary with my return offer. Don't be afraid to reach out to your managers/company leaders (especially if setting up an informational interview)! They are always so excited to help because so few people are willing and determined enough to set up a meeting. Make sure you do your research on them/their area of expertise first so you are able to have an actual conversation. Don't forget to take note of one or two things that stood out to you from your conversation and incorporate those things into a thank you email. UTILIZE LINKEDIN! I made so many connections and added a wide variety of people to my network, it has really helped expose me to recruiters as well as allowed me to learn more about different areas of business I hadn't known too much about before.
