As students, we are pushed to find the best opportunities available in the job market. For many, they have no idea where to start and it\u2019s easy to make the assumption that you need to find a job\/internship in your major to become successful. But after taking a leap of faith, Panthers, including myself, have found rewarding experiences.<\/p>\n

\n

As a first-generation college student, I really didn\u2019t know what would be an ideal workplace for me. I am currently a senior majoring in business administration with a marketing emphasis, minor in Latinx and Latin American studies, and am getting ready to graduate in just a few months in 2021. I thought I would be deemed successful if I pursued a full-time job in the field of marketing and business public relations management, but had yet to consider insurance until I hear about Gallagher.<\/p>\n

When I first heard about the Gallagher Summer Internship program,<\/a> I was excited and curious. I booked an appointment at the Office of Career and Professional Development<\/a> and spoke with the team about this opportunity. They reviewed my resume, prepped me with mock interviews, and gave me the support I needed to feel confident about the application process. And it worked. I landed the internship<\/strong> and have continued interning throughout my senior year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

By pursuing this opportunity, I have explored the insurance industry and gained many insights into its operations.<\/strong> I learned through experience that Gallagher\u2019s company culture is inclusive and team-oriented. I also learned that they truly value and invest in their interns. From the beginning, interns are flown from all over the country to Chicago to meet the executive team as well as other divisional leaders. I received hands-on training and discovered different branches and offices all over the OC and LA counties. Now, I get to look forward to taking the next step in my career as a full-time Assistant Underwriter upon graduation.<\/p>\n

Gallagher’s 50-years-and-counting internship program is designed to build future leaders. Many interns have gone on to secure leadership, management, and full-time roles and enjoyed long, fulfilling, upward careers with the company. I am one of them, and can’t wait to continue my journey and take my next step as a full-time Assistant\u00a0 Underwriter soon.<\/strong> Interns’ opportunities for growth at Gallagher are truly plentiful!<\/p>\n
