adidas

Store Operations Intern

June - August 2017 • Portland, OR

What I liked

The internship program at adidas HQ was organized so if I wasn’t working on my individual project with my manager, I was either working on a cross-functional team project, attending a fun intern event, or taking a workshop to acquire more professional skills.

What I wish was different

I wish they would’ve set us up with better housing situations. All 96 interns at adidas HQ had to find their own housing, which became kind of stressful and expensive. It would’ve been cool for the program to suggest a place where we could all live nearby each other so we could hangout outside of work.

Advice

Remember names and ask questions. Remembering names will make people like you more because you put in the effort to care about them; then when you need help later on or are feeling lonely, you have someone to turn to. Asking questions also shows interest, but also allows you to learn more about the company so you’re more informed with your peers and have a better chance of getting hired on full-time.
