Product Marketing Intern
“After my internship with Microsoft, I am much more confident in my professional abilities. I better understand how businesses work and I am better prepared for future interviews and positions. I liked feeling that my work had an actual impact on a host company. For example- I wrote a blog for an event and helped set up the web site. The blog will be used for marketing next year’s conference. I also translated many documents and was surprised at my language skill level and how much it improved.” – Alana, Intrax Alum, Cornell University
