MBA Week 20: Eye Strain & Migraines
Finally rounding out the Tauber recruiting journey!
Technically it’s not quite over yet, but I ended up with 5 WONDERFUL projects and I would be excited to end up at any of them. They are:
1. MOTT Hospital: using virtual reality in surgical operations
2. Amazon Launch: helping streamline and analyze Amazon’s physical site location and building process
3. Estée Lauder: helping to establish and create an Omni channel presence and speed up their delivery timelines
4. NCMS: cloud-based software component to help in manufacturing 4.0
5. Boeing Materials: working in Boeing labs to help develop a new sustainable material to be used on airplanes
I never would have imaged having such a variety of opportunities through Tauber, and I’m really excited to see what the summer brings.
But…. I’m also not going to pretend that it was sunshine and roses to get here. I woke up Tuesday morning cursing ever having joined Tauber.
See, after the bidding process, there was also a click race process to secure interviews. I had never been in a click race before, and it’s safe to say I never want to be in one again.
The good news is that I know I will end up at one of the above 5 project placements. So, when all is said and done, it turned out ok. Thank God.
After a few stressful mornings this week, and then too much energy to go to bed at night, I developed progressively worse headaches throughout the week until I woke up at 3:30 am Friday with a terrible migraine due to eye strain.
Despite wearing blue light protection glasses, apparently 4 different screens (ipad, computer, tv and phone) can cause some major stress. Go figure, lol.
I’m finally feeling 90% today and am back on the screen grind.
So thankful this is the last week of classes for the semester. Just one week of finals and then off to MAP!
