Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend GE Aerospace to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to GE Aerospace
Be honest in your interviews, the most important thing they want to see is that you are willing to learn and accept feedback and work on that feedback. A lot of interns here are on roles that they have not covered a module in uni before. So being able to learn new things is great. But also being responsible enough to be accountable if you mess up.
