You were studying finance. What made you seek an internship opportunity on the sales team? 

I have always wanted to work at Dell, especially because I had friends who built their careers here and spoke highly of the company's culture. In 2014, I applied for a temporary position in the order processing team. During those six months, I got to know the reality of the employees better, which reinforced my desire to be part of the team. In 2015, I applied for an internship in the commercial area because I wanted to develop my skills in this field. Until then, my main professional experiences had been in finance, human resources and tax. 

How was your internship experience? 

My internship experience was extremely enriching. During this period, I had the opportunity to develop essential skills such as effective communication, negotiation, market knowledge and most importantly, a better understanding of the public sector. I worked closely with the government sales team and all support areas including the technical team and executives. Additionally, I was able to apply my theoretical knowledge in practical situations, which was fundamental for my professional growth. The experience also helped me identify areas for improvement and gave me a clear vision of what is needed to succeed in the commercial area. I am very grateful for this opportunity and believe it has prepared me well for future challenges in my career within the company.
