GE IMLP Featured on BusinessWeek

Within a few days of returning from junior bootcamp, Corporate IMLP Nicole Paolini found herself working not from her home office in Fairfield, but from the Corporate offices in New York City, across the street from 30 Rock.

Although Nicole loves New York, she was not there to visit the Statue of Liberty or catch a film on Broadway- but to be interviewed for BusinessWeek (and it just so happened to be in the building where the elevator scenes for the Devil Wears Prada was filmed!). 

BusinessWeek researches the Best Places to Launch a Career, and GE is featured in this special report. This year, BW has included additional media on the page- and one of our own IMLPs is now featured on the website.

When asked how she felt before the interview, Nicole said,
"It was wild, I was sitting outside of radio city music hall. I was excited when I sat down- you know that feeling right before you give a presentation? It kinda felt like that- it was an adrenaline rush.  I felt like I was going to ski down a mountain."

A graduate of the University of Florida, Nicole has finished both her undergraduate degree in Marketing and CSE and her masters degree in Decision and Information Sciences, with a focus in IT.

Her friends and family have started to find the video and once her Grandmother found it, "the whole WORLD knew," Nicole said.

"My brother and sister have posted it on Facebook," she laughed. "I think my parents are still in shock though. I haven't told many people about it yet." [Author's note: Sorry Nicole, now it's up on the IMLP blog- no hiding!]

However, when asked if she plans to leave the IT field for Hollywood, Nicole politely declined. I think she's more interested in "on budget" and "on time" project delivery rather than "on screen" time.
