Current Title: Customer Support Specialist - Express Sales

Most memorable moment: "My most memorable moment was visiting Boston. It was a great opportunity not only because I got to travel, but because experiencing outside sales was amazing. Meeting with the customer and manufacturers was really interesting and fun. The sales people at the Peabody branch are real friendly and welcoming; I had a blast with the account managers that I traveled with."

Advice to future interns: "Don't be afraid to try new things. Experience as much as you can, it will help you figure out what you want to do in your future. Always ask questions and remember to smile!"

Most memorable moment: "My most memorable moment at Avnet was outside the office. On the Friday before the 4th of July, Ed Smith (President, EM Americas) invited the EM interns out for a round of golf. It was great to experience an Executive Team Member outside of the office. It showed me that Avnet's core values start at the top. This company's culture is second to none."

Advice to future interns: "Work hard because in the end it all pays off. The opportunity to work for an excellent company like Avnet does not come around often."


Name: Brittany Allemann

Current Title: Brand Product Management Specialist

Most memorable intern moment: "Although the entire Avnet Internship was an incredible experience, the most memorable aspect was the one-on-one time spent with managers and executives. They provided personal and work related advice that will guide my entire career. Avnet's human capital is by far the most valuable resource of the entire company."

Advice to future interns: "Always ask questions, even if you are embarrassed or scared. The more you ask, the more you learn."


 
Name: Jessica Truman
University: Trinity University
Intern year: 2007
Current Title: Marketing Project Leader

Most memorable intern moment: "My most memorable moment in the internship was presenting our final project to top Avnet executives. Although it was nerve-racking, it was a fabulous opportunity to meet and be heard by Avnet's leadership team. I was impressed by how open to our ideas everyone at Avnet was. They treated us as valuable resources and assigned us significant and interesting projects—not getting coffee or doing filing."

Advice to future interns: "Enjoy the experience! As probably your first real business experience, you may be nervous, but take some time to relax and enjoy your internship."

"My internship with Avnet was more than I could have asked for. I made great friends, not only with the other interns but with my mentors as well. We had the opportunity to work on real challenges that the company was facing, and now as a full-time employee I have had the chance to continue those projects and dig deeper into the root causes of those challenges. If you are invited to intern with Avnet, go for it! You won't be disappointed! My experience has been amazing - Both as an intern and as a full-time employee of Avnet Technology Solutions."
