These last weeks have been more than intense! It started from the week we had to prepare our final exams dealing with everythin we had learnt during a whole year. It was also during this busy preparation week that I found my internship at General Mills. Immediately after this came a tiring week of exams (all in all 23 hours of exams in 4 days)… and I started my internship the following week. No time for a break!
But believe it or not, I don’t feel like resting. I’ve been given such a great opportunity to use my abilities and skills, and that “fuels” me! Well, I admit that the way I have been welcomed at General Mills is more than satisfying. I really feel that they want to help me reaching the goal, their goal, my goal.
Let me explain myself:
In order to accomplish my mission, I am given the perfect tools to excel. I had an intense formation-week with the 18 others trainees, where I learned every detail about the four brands I was going to represent in supermarkets: Häagen-Dazs, Old El Paso, Green Giant, and Wanchaï Ferry. We were also trained by the National Sales Manager to sales techniques, which I found brilliant in its methods by the way.
But I have also been given the “practical” tools to work. Need help to guess what they are? The main one has four wheels and… YES, you’re right, it’s a car! Without it, nothing would happen. Indeed, just to give you a slight idea of its necessity, I will have to drive around a thousand kilometers a week! But I like to drive so I take it easy.
To sum it up:
I’ve been and still am in a rush, but I am very pleased to do my internship at General Mills as a regional salesman because I am given the means to work in a field that I highly appreciate.
