You’re Hired – Bridget Kennerson

  • I am a double major with mechanical engineering and environmental science.

 

  • I was hired at Getinge as an Engineering Intern.

 

  • Some of my responsibilities will be doing lab testing and working with other engineers on various tasks and projects.

 

  • I found this position on LinkedIn.  I am still unsure on what my career goals are or what I would like to do upon graduation, but this internship in the medical device industry will allow me to gain valuable experience and knowledge.  With more knowledge about the industry, I may shift my goals in that direction.

 

  • Some advice for my peers is to not give up looking and be persistent.  I received two rejections from other companies before being offered this position.  It can be hard to stay motivated after not being selected for roles you put a lot of effort in applying to and interviewing for.  However, remaining positive and continuing the search will benefit you in the long run.
