As the old saying goes, all good things must come to an end. It’s time for me to leave the party…Philly’s “party station” that is. Over the last three months, I have interned at Wired 96.5 for Casey Reed, producer of the mid-day show. This has been the most rewarding experience of my life to date. I had no idea what I was actually signing myself up for when I accepted this internship, but the thought of working in a radio station seemed like a fun way to gain some experience as well as knocking out a few college credits…

Often times I find myself wondering why my days are filled with making bookmarks, filing other supervisors’ cabinets and making cardboard signs. It can be quite frustrating when you don’t feel your workload is aiding you for the future. However, after finishing the work and seeing the bigger picture, I have come to realize those small annoying tasks are given for a reason. For example, learning to file and answer voice mails and other office duties has given me a great skill and with many internships these days requiring knowledge in administrative work, I know those tasks were worth it. Being in…

I’m always excited before a job or internship interview, but I had a very special feeling of confidence the day of my interview at The Drink Nation (thedrinknation.com-check it out, especially if you want to learn more about the best bars in Philly!). I had finally found a company that I REALLY wanted to be a part of, and they were interested in me, too. The interview was fun and comfortable, like speaking to friends. A week or two passed and the founder of the company contacted me: I got it. Oh, what a relief! The feeling was mutual; I…

My internship is for Sukkatash, who is the creative director of HyLo Boutiques, a permanent pop up shop focused on branding and promoting local small companies. Last Friday they had me join them in New York City for what would turn out to be one of the best days of my life. I had previously been informed by my boss, Lendl, that he was friends with a dude named Taj Reid who is creative director of We Jet Set and also works with MKG (they work on marketing for Madonna). Taj is also one of the people running Social Media…

I love my resume. Not in an egotistical way. I don’t keep printed copies on me that I can just whip out during an argument to stump my opponent with my listed skills and activities. It would be pretty hard for a 20-year-old sophomore in college to win a dispute with a meager assortment of food service jobs and office work anyway. I love my resume because it is unique to me, I can lay it out however I want, and I know that it’s going to expand and evolve just as quickly as I do (though I hope the…

As a double major in film and advertising, I was lucky enough to score an internship where I able to apply my skills in both of my areas of interest, at Tristate Indie. I feel that it is hard to come by an internship that allows you to do more than one task. It seems like most internships for ad majors have their interns set on a specific role such as sales or research. At Tristate Indie I got to report events, write, review, edit video, and whatever role that needed to be done in crunch time. A majority of…
