Michael Goldman shares his experience interning at Martha
Stewart Living Omnimedia, a diversified media and merchandising company linked
to the Martha Stewart brand: "Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia is a wonderful place to work as an intern. The finance department has a number of very experienced financial services professionals, whom I learned a great deal from.
I also had the opportunity to work alongside some Ernst and Young associates when they came to do one of their audits. Additionally, Martha often brings in fresh produce and organic eggs from her upstate farm and distributes them at the corporate office. Plus you can get free VIP tickets to the Martha Stewart show.
Just a few general tips for those who are interested in getting an internship. Broaden your scope; although the Baruch job board is a wonderful source for getting an internship, there are many other places you should look. I actually found my position through LinkedIn. Brush up on your Excel skills; as long as you’re comfortable with most of the more commonly used Excel functions and have a good attitude, the rest can be picked up on the job. Make sure your schoolwork stays your number one priority. Ask for help if you don’t understand something and if you finish a task early, see if there are other people around the office you can help. Finally, you can only get as much out of your internship as you put in. Work hard and try to make a positive impression in whatever you do and you will have a great network of experienced professionals you can call on for references and advice for years to come."
