Tell us about your internship experience. 

During my internship, I was the media communications intern for our branding team. My projects were centered around our social media accounts before we had a dedicated person to work on our social media strategies. I spent my summer creating a strategy around how to best engage our customers using social media platforms, and once I went back to school, I saw my strategy implemented by the team. It was great to see the work I had spent all summer on implemented! I loved that along with the project I was assigned, I had the opportunity to create a few development goals of my own that I wanted to achieve during the summer: network with tenured Hilti employees that had international experience and write articles for our internal employee platform. Even as an intern Hilti was dedicated to my development and helping me gain the skills I needed and wanted to improve on. 

How have you developed within your career so far? 

If you are looking for a company where there’s a lot of opportunity for internal growth and development, Hilti is the place. In every role I've had at Hilti, I have had amazing managers who have taken the time to understand where I want to develop and helped me map out my plan to get there. I've had the opportunity to work in sales, marketing, and human resources, and Hilti has provided me the resources to develop and work in each of these departments. Our learning and development team does everything from product training to leadership training, and all employees have the ability to take advantage of these trainings to help advance their careers. I also utilized Hilti’s educational assistance program, earning my MBA from Oklahoma State while working full-time. I’m looking forward to using the educational assistance program again in the future to further my HR education. 

What is your favorite part of your role? 

Throughout my time at Hilti I have always loved sharing my intern experience with others, even referring my sister for a role and helping mentor other interns during my tenure at Hilti. I am now responsible for hiring all of our corporate interns and co-managing our internship program, and I love getting the opportunity to help other college students find their home at Hilti and show them the reasons I love working here!
