Hey WSO Gurus I was hoping you could help me dissect this job posting description and whether or not it is an internship worth taking my Sophomore Fall/Spring to better position myself for a i-banking internship (or something along the lines as I know it could be unrealistic at this point) this coming summer. If you also know of the company or have worked for them in the past I would also appreciate any input you have. From what I've read from sites such as Glassdoor.com, FGI Risk seems more of a sales job but I could be incorrect.
Regardless, I would appreciate the help in understanding what it is they're looking for and what experience I could get out of this position.
Thanks in advance!
DESCRIPTION
FGI Risk Services is looking for aggressive, well-articulated, highly motivated college juniors and seniors who are interested in Financial Risk Management and analysis to apply for FGI Risk Services’ Sales and Marketing Internship program.
The FGI Risk Services Intern program is a comprehensive program which provides training and hands-on experience in the risk management and risk analysis aspects of global finance and trade. This program provides real responsibility and real accountability, opposed to passive intern programs where experience and skills gained are minimal.
The participants of this program are given strong consideration for full time employment upon graduation for the sales associate program.
Projects:
•Work directly with Senior Vice President and research marketing studies
•Opportunity to grow division of global communication and sales
ORGANIZATION DESCRIPTION
FGI Risk Services is a division of FGI Finance, a global commercial finance firm, which provides comprehensive financial risk management solutions to mid market companies conducting global trade.
QUALIFICATION
•Open to all majors, although Communications, Finance and Business majors are encouraged to apply
•Must be able to work a minimum of 20 hours per week, scheduling is flexible
•No experience necessary, but Sales and Marketing experience a plus
•Strong communication skills, both oral and written, required
•Comfortable communicating with senior financial executives of customers
Sounds like a sales job especially since it feeds into a sales associate ft position. But if you can't find an IB internship for the school year I say take what you can get. I got dinged in a BB SA interview, largely because when he asked me for examples of demonstrated interest in finance I came up with a goose egg.
Since it's only my Sophomore Fall should I just take this or a work-study position at my school working in the billing division for the economics department? I'm pretty sure the work-study would pay more but if I can get good experience for my resume I would take that over pay any time.
