Jonathan's Story

Jonathan Berger '24 interned at Optibus, based in Tel Aviv, Israel and had the opportunity to lead the business operations team on his project during the summer of 2022. 

"As an intern, I led the business operations team in acquiring and configuring a new software integration tool for Salesforce and Jira. In addition, I employed Excel & Salesforce data validation tools to create reports for managers to analyze corporate performance. The most important skill that I developed at MIT that aided me in my internship was my knowledge of Excel. Learning these skills primarily in 15.401 gave me a strong foundation for the summer, and allowed me to complete most of my intern workload without struggling. In addition to Excel, my past UROP experience and role within the Sports Summit prepared me to work in a professional environment while staying organized. During my internship I became proficient in using Salesforce, a major tool used within several work environments. In addition, I advanced my Excel and analytic skills through creating detailed reports."

"This experience augmented my career goals by giving me my first taste of working a 9-5 job in which I had real responsibility. Learning how to handle daily tasks and work within my team is probably the most important skills that I developed all summer that I can apply to future work experiences."
