(Words on screen) CHRISTINE Human Resources Intern

(Speaker: Christine) I don't think people really realize how many departments 
and possibilities are within State Farm until they get to know the company.

(Words on screen) ANDY IT/Systems Intern

(Speaker: Andy) I thought State Farm  oh, insurance. How big could the 
IT really be? And then I looked around. And there's so many people. 
And I'm like, OK. I guess the IT side is really big.

(Words on screen) KATIE P & C Actuarial Intern

(Speaker: Katie) It's really interesting to see that they have us doing
 real world stuff. I'm actually creating the rates for homeowners in 
New York, which I didn't think would be something I was doing.

(Speaker: Christine) My main project is I'm doing a research project 
on social recruiting.

(Words on screen) SABRINA Strategic Resources Intern

(Speaker: Sabrina) Currently we're looking at a big project with 
housing forecast.

(Words on screen) BEN Planning & Analysis Intern

(Speaker: Ben) We work with different areas of the company and 
do cost benefit analysis on projects that they plan to do in the future.

(Speaker: Andy) The most valuable thing is figuring out what you 
want to do. And State Farm gives you so many resources to do that.

(Speaker: Christine) I mean, my specific situation of being a 
mathematics and Hispanic studies major-- I mean, 
they found a place for me, they can find a place for anyone.

(Words on screen) Inside State Farm

(Speaker: Katie) Internships can be terrifying as a whole, 
especially as big a company is this is, and not knowing anybody. 
But everyone was really friendly. Everything's really organized. 
So they don't really give you a lot of opportunity to kind of 
feel like you're getting lost here.

(Speaker: Ben) They truly want you to have the best internship 
experience that you can possibly have, and they often go out 
of their way to help make that happen.

(Speaker: Christine) You never feel like you're just the intern, 
I guess. You feel like people really want to get to know you and 
work with you and get your opinion on things.

(Speaker: Katie) Yesterday I had a meeting with my manager and 
the head of our department. And they went over my final presentation 
with me and spent an hour giving me advice on things I should add 
or things I should change, which is really helpful, and I really enjoyed it.

(Speaker: Ben) All the interns come from many parts of the country-- 
different schools. And at the beginning of the summer, I hardly knew 
anyone. But through intern events or hanging out outside of work, 
I really was able to build strong camaraderie with the other interns 
and build lasting friendships.

(Words on screen) State Farm Opportunities

(Speaker: Andy) I just can't get over the fact that I learned so 
much about what I want to do and learning more 
about all the different roles. It's just something that I don't think 
other companies can match.

(Speaker: Sabrina) This internship is definitely valuable. 
It definitely brings a lot for the interns. It puts the intern in a 
perspective where there's a lot of growth. We get to add 
value to the company. And there's a lot of learning. There's a lot of 
networking. You brand yourself at the same time. I'd definitely 
recommend this to anyone. It's real pay, real work.

(Speaker: Ben) The pay is very competitive for other internship 
experiences like it. And the corporate experience is also one of a 
kind. I can talk to anyone in the company and feel like I'm a 
valuable member of this team.

(Speaker: Katie) It's nice to see that they kind of just added me as 
part of the group. And I'm the 12th person in my unit, and I'm just 
kind of part of the pack now.
