I spend the afternoon working on my pitch and catching up on any training for the week. I like to stay on top of any training or learning opportunities that come up, so I can feel ready for any tasks or support that I can give the team.

7.30 AM

Alarm goes off (after being snoozed twice LOL) and I’m up and ready for the day. I shower and get myself ready for a big day! Waking up early gives me enough time to be ready for the morning and plan out my tasks. I head to the kitchen and cook up some eggs…

8.00 AM

Off to the gym down the road! I usually like to walk and listen to some music to calm myself before a gym session. Today we’re doing legs! I won’t be able to walk after this, so good thing we’re sitting in front of a desk today…

9.00 AM

I head into the Adobe office for a busy Tuesday. This is the busiest day in the office, but also the most fun because you bump into so many friendly faces! I swipe my card in and head over to Level 23, taking in the beautiful morning view over Darling Harbour!

Every week I have a 1:1 with my manager to set out my goals and tasks for the week, ask any questions, receive feedback on last week’s projects and catch up after the weekend! I always try to take notes and update my calendar to ensure I am on top of everything and ready for the week ahead. I also use this time to check through emails, accept any initiations or calls, and flick through the many optional enablement, training series, and cultural events that Adobe offers.

10.00 AM

As part of the Solutions team, we have a monthly call-to-action to summarise the last sales month and forecast the team and company figures for the upcoming month. This is a beneficial call to listen in on so I can understand my team’s projects for the next month, helping me in reaching out to Consultants or Account Executives and supporting them to exceed our monthly sales targets! As part of the Customer Journey team, these meetings help us understand what the other teams are working on, so we can always partner with the data and insights or commerce team if we need assistance with our projects.

11.00 AM

Coffee time!!! One of my favourite parts of the day is going for a coffee run downstairs with some of the other coffee-drinker interns! It took us about a week to find the best coffee place in Darling Park and its surrounds (shoutout to Aroma and Socialite). We also love when there’re snacks up on Level 27! Today, there was a little morning tea prepared for the interns and grads, where we bonded and networked while enjoying delicious treats…

After that coffee fix, I work through my weekly tasks, prioritising the most important tasks and ticking off my list as I work through them. At the moment, I am working on a super exciting pitch for a potential client. I spend this time researching the industry and company, then schedule a time to talk to my buddy (a graduate on my team who guides me through my projects) and any other members of my team who can support me. I check Outlook and can easily see who has time to meet this afternoon, before scheduling a Teams call.

12.30 PM

Around 12:30, the office goes instantaneously quiet. It’s as if everyone decides 12:30 is the best time for lunch… I head downstairs to meet up with the other interns and we head down to the food court in Darling Quarter. This is a super nice way to check in with each other and catch up on how the week is going! We then head back upstairs and chill on Level 26, where there is table tennis and other fun games that we can unwind on!

I spend the afternoon working on my pitch and catching up on any training for the week. I like to stay on top of any training or learning opportunities that come up, so I can feel ready for any tasks or support that I can give the team. I also plan out any other tasks for my manager, such as organising customer outreach events and routine checking my team’s work or contacts so we’re ready to take on Q4!

2.30 PM

Every week we have a weekly team meeting where we track progress on sales deals and allow the Account Executives to update the team on their deals. It’s so interesting learning the different approaches each Sales member adopts when securing a deal and how they overcome any challenges. It also allows the team to communicate and offer advice to each other to ensure we are on track for our quarterly goals.

3.00 PM

My buddy and I have a weekly catchup and I use this time to ask any questions about the company, my team, the projects or training. We discuss how we can best approach planning for the upcoming customer event, and how we can best deliver our pitch in the next meeting.

4.00 PM

I jump on a call for planning a special project for our company’s All-Hands meeting. This is a special event where everyone in the company, from India through Japan to Australia, virtually meet up to come together as one and catch up on the company’s progress and regional statistics. For the next All-Hands, some of the interns and grads are putting together a fun little video to be presented to the whole region. This is a great way to showcase our creative side and show off all of Adobe’s products and how they enhance the modern age through a digital experience. These little offside projects always come up and give us a chance to work outside our team with people from all over the company, whether it be Data and Insights, Marketing, Legal or Engineering team!

5.00 PM

I finish up my tasks for the day, and whatever I haven’t quite finished up, before setting my agenda for tomorrow. I then head home and go for a sunset walk. I use the rest of the night to unwind, catch up with friends for dinner, or catch up on any university work, so I’m ready for another day at Adobe!
