Hello everybody!!! Our names are Lena
and Laura, we both study in
the same Grande Ecole in France, IPAG
and we are about to complete our 16 week-internship in Oracle in
the UK. Below a summary of our experience! My name is Lena. I am 20 years old
and joined Oracle UK in September 2010 – more specifically, I joined
the EMEA Graduate's Recruitment
Team (EMEA stands for Europe, Middle East
and Africa),
and I have learned a lot about working life. It was a really good experience, which made me realize that I soon will be looking for a fulltime employee in a company in less than 3 years. I am glad to have had this first experience in Oracle. First of all because it's a very welcoming company which treats interns as employees
and gives them
the opportunity to show their potential. I also discovered that it is nice to work in a company where everybody knows everybody,
and where
the atmosphere is really good.
The multicultural aspect is one of
the most important
and beautiful elements of Oracle. It gives you
the opportunity to have contacts in many parts of
the world
and discover a lot of nice people. During my internship I learned a lot about Recruitment. I discovered I want to work in a Human Resources role after I graduate. I like
the contact I will have with candidates
and the fact that I have to be in touch with managers
and understand their needs. I would be glad to work for
the company in
the near future. I would like to thank all my
team members for welcoming me like they did. It was a real pleasure to share this experience in Oracle
and in this
team and I hope to return after I graduate. Hi all! I am Laura. My wish for this internship was to focus on training of personal skills for employees
and, by
the same time of course, for
the company’s development....
and I did it in
the OTD
team (EMEA Organization Talent Development Team). I could not have done something better than this! It was truly instructive. I learnt how to work in such a big international company,
the values
and the rules to follow
and to interact
and be part of
the organisation. In Oracle, there are so different aspects of every department, so many possibilities in HR as well as in Finance or Sales...
The jobs are very various
and the employees’ cultures are also really different thanks to this international
and multicultural company. I am working with OTD for
the entire EMEA region, having many of my colleagues in other countries, with other cultures, other ways to work,
and other ways to think... this is so inspiring! Oracle offers
the best environment to learn about a job, as well as to learn about work life in such large companies. This company is about new technologies, it always goes fast,
and everything changes quickly! You have to be aware of these changes
and keep track of
the wishes of customers. For OTD of course, these customers are
the employees. Looking back I have learnt more then I would have ever thought
and I know that it is what I want to do...
And now I hope to come back again! I want to thank all my
team for welcoming me
and integrating me with such happiness. I will truly miss them!! If you have any questions related to this article feel free to contact
