Hi everyone, I'm Amarjoth Singh Walia, a second-year MBA student at Ohio State's Fisher College of Business. I recently completed my internship at Amazon as a Pathways Operations Intern at GEG1, Spokane, Washington. Fisher played a vital role in my application process for Amazon, providing me with the necessary tools, including interview preparation sessions, resume review & a vast network of alums who have joined the Pathways program. When I left India for my MBA, it was the company I dreamed of joining due to my passion for operations & supply chain management.
The first question you're asked upon returning to school for your second year as a full time MBA student is: "How was your internship?" Whether it is driven by social convention (ask about something you know), or pure curiosity (what else could I have been doing with my summer), I have noticed it is more often than not the best way to kick off a conversation after not seeing your classmates for 10 weeks. And, interestingly, I have noticed that the answers vary dramatically from person to person.
If I hadn't mentioned it by now, I have a tendency to quote song titles. Today is no exception: this one by The Cure sums up my life and the life of most b-school students. As you may have figured out from the other blog posts, we (Fisher graduate students) just finished the school year. Spring quarter ended differently for me than winter and fall: somehow, I managed to only have one final which was scheduled for Monday morning. How Lucky Can You Get? (See? What did I tell you? Streisand song from Funny Lady.) Anyhow . . .
I'm hooked on blogging, what can I say?
This summer, after the My Fisher Grad Life blog wraps up for the year, I'll be continuing to write for the My Fisher Internship blog. This blog will allow a few of us Fisher students, both undergraduate and graduate, share details about our summer internships, our exploits and travels as we head out into the big bad world for a summer.
