Louisa Schlesiger
General Management General Motors, Remote
How did you hear about your internship?
At the time, I was still interning with Cox Automotive where I realized my interest to work in the automotive industry. I looked up the career sites of multiple automotive manufacturers and applied for roles around strategy and innovation.
What has been the most valuable (or favorite) part of the experience?
Even though my internship is fully remote, I was invited to spend a week in Warren, Michigan, where I got to tour multiple production factories and a behind-the-scenes look into their Collision Repair Technology Center, where I got to experience the new EV Hummer. The in-person experience with my colleagues and leaders also allowed me to improve my public speaking skills and realize that innovation and growth can only happen if we question norms
and fail forward. I am incredibly grateful to have met amazing and extremely inspiring people along the way.
How will this help you in the future?
My experience at General Motors has given me confidence in my abilities and sparked a strong drive to work in an innovative role around people with the same mindset. I have come to realize how I want to impact an organization and our customers in my career. I feel excited about my future career and feel like I am able to reach my goals.
