Amélie
Bordeaux School of Management

"Société Générale operates in the world's main financial centres, and that opened up big opportunities for me.
After two years at the Bordeaux Business School I felt I wanted to put the theory I had learned into practice, and so I decided to take a full-year internship.
I carried out my first six-month internship at SG New York as a credit analyst. I was able to discover the world of corporate finance from studies of client companies, their financial statements and their environment to their products and their competitors. At the end of this extremely worthwhile internship, I was eager to further my experience at Société Générale, but this time in France.
Today I am in Paris in the Strategy and Marketing Department. In fact I am the assistant of a product manager specialising in the international market. We provide support to SMEs operating internationally: we create products to suit their needs, we draw up commercial documentation, and instructions for the branches.
Alongside this mission, I am helping to draw up the brochures for each country and to redefine the SME offering. The internship is comprehensive, interesting and good training, and enables me to express all my creativity. I really appreciated being able to change posts, moving from finance to marketing, without changing company. In fact I wanted a broad perspective before choosing my specialisation in the 3rd year. Now I know what I want: to be taken on by the Société Générale Group."
