Genentech Inc., San Francisco, CA

Primary job responsibilities;
Organizing spreadsheets, creating posters/PowerPoint's, filming, conducting interviews, editing, meeting facilitation.

The only things that changed over the course of my placement was that I did more filming and editing to develop content for the website launch.

I would rate this experience as excellent and would recommend it to other students because this internships program was well organized and supportive of career building.

To future students I would say that field placement is your most valuable networking opportunity.
