The Experiences of Temple Advertising Students
Entering any industry can be intimidating, especially when you’re just starting out as an intern because we really don’t know what to expect. We’ve all heard the horror stories of being placed at a desk by the trash or having to do nothing but coffee runs. Or the polar opposite…
When I first began my internship at Ben FM radio station as a sales intern, I expected my duties to strictly pertain to working with the sales team and account managers. Delightfully that was not the case. While working at Ben, I was not only able to attend luncheons and events which…
After a knowledge-packed two months of media work at LevLane, I realized that I thoroughly enjoy MEDIA. It’s a department I wasn’t able to fully learn in class, but lucky for me, I was able to gain real-world experience. After one of my coworkers left, I even got to take…
I am an avid blog reader. I spend 90% of my time on BuzzFeed and only use Facebook to share the interesting blogs I’ve read with people who don’t care. Surprisingly, with all the experience I’ve had reading blogs, I’ve never actually written one. I never had the need to…

As the photography and graphic design intern for the Independence Seaport Museum, I was in charge of spearheading various projects. When it came to documenting different events and posting about them afterwards, while utilizing a vibrant and friendly tone, I was their man! For instance, my favorite assignment in my…
Initially, I thought I was going to be just one of the many Advertising interns at Philadelphia Magazine. To my surprise I was treated just like everyone else. Every morning that I came in I was greeted as anyone else would be. I found it extremely fascinating that I was able…
Of course a huge part of a job is the pay. You want to be able to pay your bills and have some money to spend too. As I’m getting closer to graduation, closer to job hunting and closer to those dreadful student loans, I can’t help put to think…
A couple of weeks ago, my supervisor asked me if I wanted to work the Stevie Wonder concert. I immediately said yes, not caring about what my specific responsibilities included because the main reason why I chose to intern at the Wells Fargo Center was to be apart of large…
