Diary of a Summer Intern - Remo
September 16, 2011
Hello Everybody!
I cannot remember any ten weeks that have flown by faster than the ones I just spent with Google. What better way to end my Google internship than to have the opportunity, along with four other EMEA interns, to spend a week at the Googleplex in Mountain View, California.
Prior to our visit to Google’s global headquarters, five lucky U.S. interns came to visit our European headquarters in Dublin, Ireland. It was now our turn to experience Google from a different viewpoint, literally! After spending Sunday exploring beautiful San Francisco, we got to work on our project. It was our task to create a marketing strategy for women-owned small and medium businesses (SMBs) in the United States. Moreover, we were given less than four days to complete it. Once again, I was fortunate to work with the most diverse team I could have asked for. Because the five of us came from five different countries and spoke more than eight languages combined, the variety of perspectives contributed to making this project a success.
After the completion of our project, more than 1,500 interns and their managers from the surrounding offices (including Mountain View, San Francisco and San Bruno) got on board the San Francisco Belle, a four-story ferry that included a dance floor, dining area and karaoke deck. Cruising underneath the Bay Bridge at sunset while screaming along to my favorite songs with my fellow interns is a moment I’ll never forget.
Our U.S. trip topped off on Friday with an intern-only presentation and Q&A with Google’s senior VP for corporate development and chief legal officer, David Drummond; and of course, we had the TGIF reception with CEO Larry Page in the one-and-only Charlie’s cafe. It may have been the craziest week of my life—and I loved every minute of it!
With so many positive professional and fun memories in mind, I say goodbye to all of you and encourage you to apply for a Google internship!
Take care!
Remo
