Hey there Temple, My name is Jasmine Rose and I have the privilege of interning in the marketing department with the Charlotte Bobcats, a professional basketball organization. For anyone who knows sports, you know that the Bobcats have had the worst record this season. Despite the losing season, I’ve had a blast working with this organization. I’ve learned so much about the sports and entertainment world from some of the top people in the business. Working for this team has opened my mind to sports marketing, which is now the path I’d like to pursue. I am currently looking for…

I have been interning at Kembrel dot com, which was started by 3 Wharton students in May 2010. The company is an online retailer. During my internship we have opened two retail locations in Philadelphia with plans to open more. This September, Professor Kathy Mueller told me about the internship. And, after e-mails, research and an interview. I got a callback within three hours. Needless to say, I got the internship of my dreams. The office culture is extremely fun but I am surrounded by hard-working brilliant people. Though, many people think that fashion is for dummies. However, it is…

My name is Chris Whitehair, and over the last few months I have been working with Center City Comedy (CCC). The Philadelphia based production company is comprised of four young comedians from Philadelphia. This comedy production company has become an authority in humor over the last few years. One of the many ways, and arguably the most important way they have done this is through video production. Much like musicians distribute their music for free online in this day and age, comedians distribute their jokes to the public on stage. However, CCC has explained to me that releasing their jokes…

Comedy in Center City My name is Chris Whitehair, and this semester I have been interning with Center City Comedy (CCC). For those of you who don’t know, CCC is the premier comedy production company in Philadelphia. What started with one open mic at the Raven Lounge on Thursday nights at 9 has snowballed into a comedy boom in this city over the last three and a half years. Since coming to Temple and embarking on a career in comedy, I have been enamored with the hard work this company puts into this comedy scene night in and night out:…

For this blog post, I figured I would take all the questions that people have been asking me in regards to my internship experience and compile them all in one spot. I’m pretty sure other people who are interested as well, will find these questions and answers useful.   Q: Do you get free tickets to the games as interns? A: Yes. Sometimes we will get complimentary tickets to the games and we’re allowed up to two tickets since we are only interns   Q: Do they pay you? A: No, but you get college credit   Q: Do you…

Here are six lessons that I learned from Kembrel: Always be early. You never know when the bus/train or a road is going to be closed. And, if you are delivering something, giving yourself more time is rule number one. Triple check your work, be swift and strong-willed so you have time to finish your work and check it. Always smile and greet everyone. It may be an investor, family member or new employee. Do your research. Look at competitors, find new ideas and know what is going on the industry. Write all instructions down and make lists to stay…

The internship at the March of Dimes has taught me many different things that I didn’t previously think I would learn. The biggest thing that I have learned is to be patient. There are a lot of people who work on an event or campaign and there will always be conflicting ideas and opinions. Working side by side with multiple other people to conquer the same task is never easy, and it’s even harder when the task is throwing large events with auctions, guest lists, seating charts, and speeches. The experience that I had during my internship with the March…

10 more days, that is what is left of my college career. It’s so weird to think it was just 4 years ago that I was taking my first advertising class (media and society with wonderful Ms. Saewitz of course). I guess this post is more a reflection of the things I did right that may help other students in the future. I was very fortunate that I found a passion for advertising at a very early stage. Loving what you do definitely helps you in so many ways, but you also have to take that motivation and turn it…

At the start of my internship I had many butterflies.  What will my boss be like?  How uptight are they?  Will I learn many things that will help me in the future? I could not predict how things would go, but I came in there ready.  Ready to get my feet wet, ready to contribute, and ready to gain much needed experience.  Starting from January to now I have learned so much at Defined Clarity Inc.  I have mastered not only the job at hand, but skills that will help me throughout life.  How to be confident when speaking to…
