Genevieve Sheridan, '16

"I got the opportunity to fly to our World Headquarters in Minneapolis, MN for my final round interview. When I got here, I knew if I got an offer I would accept. I am now in a sales rotational program, where I will go through various roles in category management, customer account management, and trade planning. Currently, I'm in my second role at our World Headquarters as a Trade Planning Associate on our Annie's and Cascadian Farm brands. I leverage various trade and planning tools to analyze and provide insight into pricing, merchandising and distribution to our customer teams."

"I got connected to General Mills through personal networking. I had General Mills on my radar for future employment for a long time so when it came time for the job hunt, I reached out to someone I knew that worked here. From there they connected me to our college recruiting team!"

"I always knew I wanted to work in the food industry. When I applied to other schools, no other school had a major dedicated to food like SJU did. This made my decision to attend SJU, among many other factors, an easy one. The amount I learned in my food marketing classes, along with internships in the food industry, made my transition into working at General Mills very easy. I still find myself connecting things I learned in my classes to what I do now."

"I had 2 internships while at SJU, both with food companies. One was on the retailer side at Wakefern Food Corp and the other was on the CPG side at PepsiCo. I also did a 6-week study abroad session in the summer before my senior year."
