'Presentation?!'...

It's a little difficult to convey the shock and horror that came over me at hearing that one word last week. Lucky me got to present the first part of my second project (confusing) to the whole of Line Haul last week...fun I hear you say? Slightly terrified, sweaty palms, and a patchy knowledge of...

'Grow your Network'

Executives or Interns, men or women, as Scots Globally no matter where or when or indeed why- we all take pleasure in the same things…. - the sound of a Scottish accent - the ability to share our humour - and…the opportunity to help I realised this yesterday morning, post ‘Female...

Inefficient Tourists

Week 2 began with meeting the CEO Brendan McManus and our Global Scot Chris Giles, which initially started off intimating but I was greatly surprised when both were so welcoming and interested in what we had to say. The meetings lead to several trips being planned around England, not quite on par with...

Lucky Number Seven

Week Seven! This week involved filming for numerous projects, so editing them all is a bit of a challenge! Making sure all the footage is in the right place is making my eyes square, but it’s worth it! I went to one of the Manhattan jewellers who sell the MaeVona collection – Michael C. Fina...

A dynamic business environment with a favourable climate

Normal 0 21 false false false DE ZH-TW HE Another exciting week has come to an end and there is so much to talk about. I am getting more and more familiar with the software and systems at National and I am glad that I am getting a good insight into financial reporting and analysis software such as IBM...

Pinkberry

This week seems to have been one busy week! I was invited out to dinner this week by my Boss/GlobalScot, Maeve, and her American business partner, and his partner this week. I was more nervous for this than I was on my first day as an intern!! We dined at a very high class...

Bye Bye Boston

I've now been back in Scotland for just over two weeks and I'm missing Boston already!! My last week at Liberty was fantastic! It included me presenting my final presentation to my manager about how I think the sales staff should be distributed and seeing all of the work that I've done over...

Leaps and Bounds

It is amazing to think that a little over eight weeks ago I was fretting about what to wear to work (as I am sure most of us; even the boys were doing,) running round the house packing my suitcase and reviewing all the documentation I needed to enter the US and then checking it all over again for good...

No Slugs, No Snakes

The last two weeks have been busy here in Sydney. We had a visit from our new CEO and he presented his vision and plans for the business for the next 3-5 years. I can't say too much about the content but it was interesting to hear about the overall business goals for the future and how they impacted...

A Trip Downriver

This past week has been the rollercoaster of ups and downs, full of challenges, trials, and outright fun that the Saltire Foundation had said our internships would be. It’s been what folk of a slightly older generation would call “character building stuff” – a phrase which I believe...

Do it.

“Do it” the phrase of the week here in Houston. We have all adopted this saying and use it at any given opportunity. Although first used in jest by a taxi driver last Saturday evening it has really stuck and I think that he has helped us to achieve the “do it” mentality we all...

Time passes so quickly when you're having fun.

Hi Everyone, Sadly no progress on the Jabil alligator photo's but I'll keep on it. I'll start with last weekend; Friday night was a quiet one as we needed to get up early on Saturday. We met up with Savanna (one of the Finance Transformation Team) at 8 am to make the trip 2 hours north to...

Happy Friday

There is no place in the world like Japan. Last Saturday, after the longest travel slog of my life, the Nihon experience kicked off with an hilarious evening of menu-stabbing and bad-Japaneseing our way through a meal of noone-will-ever-know-what with iced green tea (we actually ordered something else...
