Loved the post. I can relate on having internships rescinded because of the pandemic, it’s a tough time but I’m glad you were able to gain this experience at 215! It’s great to hear they tailored a position just for your abilities, congrats!

I know exactly what you mean. COVID-19 has been super hard on everyone. My internship was remote and I so wish I was able to go in the office and see the team. I feel like the experience would have made it 10x more real and influential. I am also so happy you found a good place at 215 marketing! I have found a great place to intern and the experience for me has just been great. I have connected with so many people and have learned so much from so many of my colleagues. Even though my internship is remote, I still enjoy it a lot and always am excited to work. I hope you have find much success and I am so happy you found your passion!

I went through the exact same process, so I can feel the struggle. COVID-19 has definitely put a damper on things, but its so amazing that your internship has allowed you to grow and actually place you in the area of expertise you want to be in. It seems like this could be a little jump-start for your future, which is so exciting! Congrats

I love and relate to your story, Hala! I too had an internship cancelled because of the pandemic, and started to search for new opportunities but felt hopeless. But like you said, every pandemic has a silver lining, and it is great to hear stories of students like ourselves that were lucky enough to score an internship during these crazy times. We are all tired of hearing about the “new normal” but unfortunately it seems like it will be like this for a while, and there is nothing left for us but trying to create our own opportunities. Your story is inspiring because unlike most students, you reached out on your own to showcase your skills and abilities instead of accepting the lack of jobs out there. Good luck on your journey!
