Moreover, I have gained invaluable experience in understanding how to perform under high-pressure situations, and consistently meeting tight deadlines while maintaining a high standard of work quality."
“Talking about my consulting internship with diiVe in an interview helped me secure a spring engineering manufacturing externship with Pfizer.”
“Before diiVe, the world of consulting was a mysterious and unfamiliar realm to me. This program gave me far more clarity on what I want to do with life and opened the doors to new opportunities to pursue my interests abroad through the world of consulting.”
