Ingredients:

Combine all ingredients in a potential IMLP, mixing well. Bake for at least four years in a technical major. During baking, fold in a few internships for a special touch...

Ok, I'm running out of cooking metaphors, but you get the idea.

People often ask us what we "look for" in a potential IMLP. The above "ingredients" are the basic set of skills we look for - a balance of technology, business, and leadership. As for the technical degree, Alana covered in a previous post what majors we typically accept.

A GE  internship also looks great on the resume of a potential IMLP. In fact, many of our businesses recruit heavily from their IMLP intern programs. But if you're about to apply for the program and you haven't had an internship with GE, don't fret! Internships at other companies and other past employment experience can be just as meaningful to an IMLP interviewer or hiring manager.

If you've still got a year or more left of school, there's still plenty of time to apply for an internship. We can get a much better idea of your skills and interests over the course of a few months at an internship than we could possibly learn in a single interview. And you'll have a chance to get to know GE as well!

To apply for either an internship or the full-time Information Management Leadership Program, please visit our GE Careers page for instructions and to submit your resume.
