Métro, boulot, dodo up on me. Then I chatted to the other intern, Charlotte, about whether she's going to get a job as a chalet girl when her stage is over. As we're chatting, her boss and her boss's boss walk by on the way out to a "working breakfast"; they insist on bringing us back some viennoiseries. MY boss, a laidback and stylish 24-year-old, still isn't in ....Read Full Post
Paris? here? I'm in Paris doing a three-month internship with a TV and film website. It's English-language site - my French A-level is rustier than an old trombone - and I'm on the editorial. That means I write the chatty stuff. I work specifically on TV series under the TV editor.

Editorial - OC&C Strategy Consultants What did you do before joining OC&C?
I studied Economics and Management at
Hertford .... .... Having done the
internship, I feel it definitely helped me make
an informed decision about which career path
I wanted to take. The main reason I accepted
their offer of a job was that I knew I would
never dread going to work.
How was it being an Intern?
When I started as an Intern it was a bit daunting,
but the people here are all really nice and easy
to get on with. The atmosphere around the
office is really chilled, and there are always
loads of people about who are willing to explain
things if you need any help.
Can you give some details of an interesting
project you have worked on?
During my internship, I was only on one
project: a pure strategy project, defining the
mortgage strategy for the subsidiary of a major
investment bank. ....Read the full Editorial

I first heard of Oliver Wyman when I was
applying for Summer .... .... for Summer Internship positions in
my penultimate year at Oxford. I also
received an offer from one of the other top 4
management consulting firms, but the
decision to join Oliver Wyman was simple.
Throughout the process they showed much
more interest in me as an individual, and
were really committed to talent recruitment,
which convinced me that they would
continue to foster my personal career
progression and development through the
firm.
My summer experience was so fantastic that
there was no question of looking for other
offers when it came to milk-round. After a
week of in-office training, culminating with
the London office Summer Event, I was
immediately put on a project in Boston for a
large New England supermarket chain.
Although spending the Summer in Boston
had been my choice, it didn’t stop the flight
out to join my new case team being a slightly
nerve-wracking experience. ....Read the full Editorial
