Sarah Oraby (SGP Participant USA)
Is there a way to apply my core values while trying to improve medical imaging?
The broad range of assignments demands a high measure of engagement on the part of the SGPers. Read on to discover what the greatest challenge for Sarah Oraby is.
What motivated you to join the Siemens Graduate Program?
The Siemens Graduate Program possessed all the aspects of personal and professional development that I have been seeking, an innovative company with strong healthcare products, a challenging two-year program that exposes you to different work environments and job types along with opportunities to learn from lectures, peers and mentors.
How would you sum up the duties and tasks you’ve had to perform to complete your assignments?
The duties and tasks that I need a daily basis go anywhere from completing specification documents, to holding meetings, creating and giving presentations, working with both engineers and service personnel.
What was your most remarkable experience in terms of teamwork or support from your colleagues?
Peers can tell how passionate and enthusiastic I am about my job and they are always coming at me with new insights, tips and experience before I even have to ask.
How do you benefit from the mentoring you receive? Please describe the mentor/mentee relationship. (E.g., support, tips, contact possibilities, how has it helped you progress etc.)
Mentoring is a great opportunity for my mentor to not only give me guidance as I do my work but also to give me the insight that only years and years of experience on the job provide. My mentor/mentee relationship is built on trust and respect.
Tell us something about your networking activities. How and with whom have you been communicating? (E.g., structured methods of communication, meetings, lunch, after work, privately etc.)
Networking activities happen after work during SYPN (Siemens Young Professionals Network) events, or during lunch. With SGP alumni who are on different continents, we use telephones and for the SGP in Germany we have video lunches where we share stories and catch up.
What message would you like to share with other applicants (regarding your own personal SGP experience)?
SGP is a unique opportunity to find and develop your true professional potential. All the tools you need are provided, it's up to you to make the most out of it.
