Entry 1

Define the purpose of the business/organization – what they do, structure, who are the customers, etc. What is your job description – what will you be doing, who will you work with, where do you fit in?

The generic purpose of Fidelity Investments is “To make financial expertise broadly accessible and effective in helping people live the lives they want.” Basic company standards include Responsibility, Integrity, Compassion, and Expertise.  Fidelity serves a wide range of customers such as Individual Investors, Employers, Advisers, and Institutions through its Personal Investing or Workplace Investing programs. The company offers a variety of options including IRAs, annuities, brokerage products, college fund accounts, and employee investments, record-keeping, and defined benefits.

My official job description is Technical Intern. This is a widely-applied term and can be defined in many ways. I will be working specifically under the Strategic Investment Products and Data (SIPD) department with the Advanced Analytics Environment (AAE) team. I will be working with other high school and college interns in addition to my team to work on small projects and learn how to work in an office environment on a daily basis.
