What will I do as an intern? You’ll work on real live projects – not “special” projects You’ll be part of a Finance Team and will interact as if you’re a regular employee  We’ll expect you to engage on Day 1 and deliver actual outcomes and results during your internship You’ll experience Best Buy – you’ll be engaged in meetings, partner with cross functional team members, travel if necessary, enjoy campus life, build a network, etc. You’ll have the chance to learn about Best Buy through lunch and learns, executive meet and greets (Finance and non-Finance), Best Buy intern activities (e.g. Twins game, boat cruise), and Twin Cities intern activities (network with interns at other Twin Cities companies)
What will I do as an intern? – Hear from the Experts Craig Sells – Former intern in Marketing Analytics Support My project was to design a methodology and tool to measure the effectiveness of ads within the Sunday insert.  I worked with cross functional teams to understand which metrics and data were most important.  After understanding key deliverables, I prioritized which were the highest priority and which were feasible.  Based on this analysis, I set out to find a way to accurately deliver information, such as incremental lift and other metrics presented in various ways (i.e., by district, category, etc.).  Ultimately I worked with RASC to design and promote a tool known as QlikView.  This tool was eventually implemented with the help of other Marketing Analytics analysts. Joel Zehr – Former intern in Corporate Development One of my core projects involved supporting the CFO of Magnolia Audio Video in evaluating the profitability of each location within the stand-alone chain.  I built a comprehensive model which outlined each store’s FCF & EVA contribution, as well as, IRR.  Extensive analysis and access to cross-functional expertise was essential to fleshing out valid assumptions for the model.  My analysis was influential in driving the final recommendation that was taken to Best Buy Co.’s CFO.     See the intern video on our blog where current SFAs share their intern projects and experiences (click on “Videos” category on the blog)

  • 11. What will I do as an intern? – Hear from the Experts Craig Sells – Former intern in Marketing Analytics Support My project was to design a methodology and tool to measure the effectiveness of ads within the Sunday insert.  I worked with cross functional teams to understand which metrics and data were most important.  After understanding key deliverables, I prioritized which were the highest priority and which were feasible.  Based on this analysis, I set out to find a way to accurately deliver information, such as incremental lift and other metrics presented in various ways (i.e., by district, category, etc.).  Ultimately I worked with RASC to design and promote a tool known as QlikView.  This tool was eventually implemented with the help of other Marketing Analytics analysts. Joel Zehr – Former intern in Corporate Development One of my core projects involved supporting the CFO of Magnolia Audio Video in evaluating the profitability of each location within the stand-alone chain.  I built a comprehensive model which outlined each store’s FCF & EVA contribution, as well as, IRR.  Extensive analysis and access to cross-functional expertise was essential to fleshing out valid assumptions for the model.  My analysis was influential in driving the final recommendation that was taken to Best Buy Co.’s CFO.     See the intern video on our blog where current SFAs share their intern projects and experiences (click on “Videos” category on the blog)
