DAVID: My name is David, and I'm a sales intern here at Principal Financial Group on the Benefits and Protection side.

My experience at Principal has been truly amazing because of all the people that actually care. So many people have dedicated their time to help me work on projects, develop sales skills, and even just have coffee chats. It's been amazing.

So as a sales intern, one of the projects that I've gotten to work on is a presentation that helps illustrate what the future of sales with AI might look like.

My favorite networking opportunity has been the lunch and learns I've had with various people across the company. There's so many people just willing to chat and give you helpful advice.

The best piece of advice that I could give to aspiring interns here at Principal is just do your research. Principal is such a large company. It has so many business units, teams, and roles. Just make sure you're familiar with Principal as a company before your first interview.
