Finding a
summer internship in South Florida was not an easy task trying to work around
my summer schedule before I went back up to Florida State University in the
fall. When I stumbled upon PROTECH, I was grateful for the opportunity and
experience to broaden my knowledge in a working environment. I wasn’t too
familiar with marketing and what it entailed but I was willing to learn and
grow, especially do to my major being in Communications.
Here at
PROTECH, along with the help of another fellow intern, our brand was sharpened
by the new website we were trying to build and publish as well as the start of
a brand new blog. Our internet-technology based articles were being published
on our new website as well as other social media platforms. Before I knew it, I
went from barely having my toes dipped into the marketing industry to making my
through it full speed. Coordinating some of our social media brought out my
inner creativity while strengthening my skills in this rapidly growing social
media world.
After
reading through tons of resumes, I also learned about certain do’s and don’ts
to include on your resume to strengthen it for future employers. Contacting
candidates became second nature while trying to update our database with
relevant information. Overall, I became familiar with the IT industry even by
my limited exposure and I am thankful for that.
Not only
did my internship at PROTECH help me build up my resume and marketing skills, it
helped me get a feel for what it actually means to implement hard work and have
something to show for it. I am excited to bring back what I learned to school
and have the opportunity to apply that into my major in more ways than one.
This wasn’t just a job to me, but a newfound skillset that is only the
beginning of my professional career. I would like to thank PROTECH for giving
me a great internship experience that I am sad to see go.
