Hammedownz: An Internship I’ll Never Forget

I’m Quaadir Price, an Advertising student at Temple University in Philadelphia. I am participating in a summer internship at Hammedownz, an online thrift and consignment company in Philadelphia. I am interning as a web developer, but I also work in the company’s social media department from time to time. Because Hammedownz is a small startup company, I wanted to utilize my self-taught website development skills to help build and improve their website. And I will use my acquired skills to assist their social media team. I choose this internship because it’s an excellent way to get experience in smaller companies…

All Booze All Day

I work in front and behind the scenes of Cocktail Culture Co. making sales, creating content, and hosting the classes. When I first started this internship back in November, I had no idea what I was getting into. I had no knowledge involving the food and beverage industry nor what it takes to run a business. During the first few weeks, the other intern and I slowly integrated into our duties and responsibilities for the week. We started off creating content for the upcoming events, posting on their socials, etc. As the weeks progressed, we started to gain more responsibilities…

I expected to be making a couple social media graphics here and there and then doing busywork while in person. Luckily, I was very much wrong about this and I actually ended up getting to work…

Taking the First Step

Hi! My name is Feygunli Feng. I am a senior Advertising major with a concentration in Art Direction. This was my first internship, and I was a graphic design intern for Nine Dots Media with Geoffrey Klein. I’m very grateful for having Nine Dots as my first internship as networking and reaching out to people was very nerve-wracking for me. I dreaded and feared networking as I was not comfortable talking to new people or asking for favors. Fortunately, I had Geoffrey Klein as a professor, and he was opening opportunities to his class for internship work. Normally, I’d be…

Here, Let’s Listen To Some Music…

It’s a big day for Spotify users. To start, here’s a playlist I’ve curated consisting of some of my more current and timeless favorites. You know when it’s your first day at a new job, a new internship, a new environment and you feel that need to put your best foot forward? There’s that need to prove that you can do this, and then you psych yourself into believing that this first day is going to be the most intense day of your work experience. Well, I walked up to my computer, opened up my intern-assigned email, and was more…
