Parting Words from the Social Media Intern
This is my last post as a social media intern! I have really enjoyed my time here and I would highly recommend this internship to anyone looking to learn more about social media.
I learned so much more about how social media works for different clients and this internship really fine-tuned my knowledge.
I thought in my last post I would share five tips for how to make your internship a success:
1. Make every day count – Don’t expect to be doing all of the big and glamorous jobs but make sure everything you do is great, no matter how unimportant you may think it is.
2. Ask questions! - I asked a lot of questions about the work I was doing and in the long term, what the results of a project would be. This helped me understand the overall goals and objectives of the assignments I was tasked with.
3. Get to know your supervisor – I made sure I got to know the people that I was working with. It was really great to go to some networking events with my supervisor and see how she incorporates professional development into her job.
4. Have an open mind - Even if you are working on clients that you personally might not have an interest in, they are an important step in learning where your passion lies. If you come in with an open mind you will learn things that you never thought you would become and expert in – like the ingredients in a pet food!
5. Have fun! - This should be an experience that you look back on with enjoyment! Get excited about what you are doing and your supervisor will love to have you around.
I cannot believe that my time at Howard, Merrell & Partners is over. This has been one of my favorite internships and one that I will always look back on. I am excited to say that after graduation I will be working at Coalmarch Productions as a marketing coordinator. I am so excited about it and feel blessed to have a job already lined up as I am graduating in a few short weeks!
I hope you all stay tuned this summer for the next social media intern’s blog posts, I know I will be reading!
