StyleHaul Diaries

It has been a long and most rewarding semester for me. I was able to travel back and fourth for an amazing internship opportunity and continue to attend Temple University as a full time student. I knew it wasn’t going to be easy, but I had to try. I worked at StyleHaul, a Youtube network which brings different talent in the vlogging world into one space where they can talk about fashion, make-up and lifestyle. I had interned for them in the fall semester in Los Angeles and learned a lot from them. I wanted to continue my venture with…

My Social Media Internship experience at Clarisse Inc.

I am a social media coordinator intern for Clarisse Inc (Promgirl.net) and I am really enjoying my experience there. I have learned a lot since I started months ago. I learned how to use Hootsuite, which is a program available online that allows people to manage all social media accounts at the same time. This program is the company’s choice for scheduling and managing all their posts on their social media outlets. I have become so familiar with this program because I use it everyday I’m in the office. Also, I have discovered a lot of different photo-editing websites where…

Find Your Happy Place

I’ve always been told from time-to-time from people in the working world how important it is to love your job. Even some of my peers have high hopes to someday love their job when they get older. They don’t care where they work; they just want to love what they’re doing. I’ve also heard a lot of complaints from those who don’t like their jobs, and it sounds miserable. I’m now getting to the age where the majority of my friends have found a “grown-up” job, and are now working fulltime. After hearing some of their stories, and experiencing my…

Another Search into Advertising Music with Google PPC

The most recent campaign I’ve set up to run here at WXPN has been another very interesting project. This campaign was directed to increase traffic towards The Key (WXPN’s local music blog) and more specifically, the concert review section of the blog. From the start, I knew it would be intriguing as a PPC campaign because it is such a specific destination on the web. However, I was in luck since I would consider myself as part of this blog’s target market. I’m certainly a big fan of the eclectic and lively local music scene this city has to offer,…

Always be a Professional

People always told me, the purpose of an internship is the knowledge you take from that particular learning experience. I couldn’t agree more with that, except the type of knowledge I gained was something that I never expected to learn through my internship. To me, I always thought that this experience would supply me with tangible knowledge that I would take with me to apply to the real world, but I found the most important knowledge learned to be something else. Not only will I take the tangible knowledge with me as I go, but most importantly I will take…

Overcoming Obstacles and Making Use of Your Time

VS. I have been interning with the Philadelphia Virtual Academy since January. The goal was to bring in students from competitors and increase enrollment and awareness. I went into the interview with a lot of ideas about what could be done to meet these goals, and was really excited to put them into action once I was hired. However, I hadn’t realized how often you come across obstacles in the process that seem to limit what you can do. As a part of the School District of Philadelphia, the Philadelphia Virtual Academy is sometimes limited in what we can do…

From Art Direction to Process Improvement in TD Bank

Working at a financial institution as an advertising major is very different than what I thought I would be doing with my first internship. The structure and method of accomplishing tasks is very data driven and not as creative as I had hoped it would be for me. With that in mind I set out to try and find a remedy and eventually got in contact with TD Bank’s advertising department. There was not much that I could do in the way of TV or major advertising mediums, but they did point me in the right direction to get my…

The First Days…

I started at my Internship at Paula Hian Designs in January of this year. I went in a little nervous because I didn’t know a lot about fashion, but also very excited. When meeting Paula previously at the interview, she was extremely sweet and seemed like she needed a lot of help in the company, so I was ready to get to work. When arriving on the first day, myself and two other interns were instructed to completely organize an entire section of the work room. In the picture, you’ll see why I was a little nervous. To me, this…

Who am I?

During my time at Temple News, I have found one common feature among most to all of the people that work within the office … Stubbornness. I won’t be a hypocrite and not include myself under this category. It is a very prevalent trait with its strengths and weaknesses. One that leads to confidence, determination and passion for ones work. On the other hand it reveals ignorance, can make a person difficult to work with and create ripples in the working environment. This is a trait with dangerous implications if used in the wrong way but if properly asserted it…
