Internship Success Stories

Worthington Industries

Why did you choose to intern with this company?
I chose this position with Worthington because this company is a leader in the Steel Processing industry, and there is no better way to jumpstart your career than to begin with the company that outperforms the rest.
- Brad Fisk, Finance

I had a great experience with the company last summer. The people seemed genuinely nice and patient. The company also has a great reputation. Most importantly, during my interview I was informed that I would be given a variety of projects, which would help me in my career decision.
- Lori Pleiman, MIS and Finance

What were your responsibilities?
My responsibilities include updating programs to meet customer requirements and working with web development to update the Material Release System. I recently worked on a program that runs a report that generates the total weight and price of material sent, received, open, and ordered for each month.
- Lori Pleiman, MIS and Finance

The responsibilities with this job repeat themselves the first 10 days of every month. We spend those ten days closing the books for the prior months and putting together all of the different financial statements from the different Worthington Cylinders locations.
- Holly Tedhams, Accounting

What was the most important thing you learned?
Learning to communicate with the people I work with everyday.
- Aaron Post, Accounting

It has provided me with extensive training, understanding, and expectations of the finance world.
- Brad Fisk, Finance

From my internship I have learned so much more about Accounting that is not taught in the classroom. It has definitely allowed me to use background information that I have learned at OSU to apply that towards the work that is assigned to me.
- Holly Tedhams, Accounting

The most important thing that I learned during this internship is letting a supervisor or manager know if you are not satisfied with what you are doing. Nothing can be done unless someone knows.
