My primary job responsibilities were to support professional management consultants in a wide range of business sectors, conduct market research, and review business plans for clients, participate in counseling sessions with clients and prepare financial projections for clients including cash flows, profit and loss, and balance sheets.
My placement was excellent and I would highly recommend the SMDC to other students looking for field experience. It was an excellent place to be exposed to a variety of businesses from different industries with different issues. It is also a great place to network with experienced business people from the region. I got exposed to marketing, finance, and management at the small enterprise level.
If I could change something I would have liked more networking opportunities and business analysis similar to large entry level consulting jobs.
My advice to other students looking for a field experience placement would be to talk to everyone you are able to talk to. Start building and maintaining relationships because it will have a huge influence on how your career develops.
