Digital Marketing Intern

May - August 2018 • Philadelphia, PA

What I liked

It was remote so you had a lot of freedom with your schedule and when you got your tasks done. You could be as creative as you wanted when creating content.

What I wish was different

You have to fundraise $500 for the organization (ideally). Can be stressful but as long as you make an effort it is okay.

Advice

Take advantage of the opportunity to learn about the US government and their policies. With it being remote, you can put as much effort in as you want. Make sure you are getting something out of it besides just some experience to add on your resume.

Political Affairs Inteen

January - May 2017 • New Orleans, LA

What I liked

It was remote and I was able to take on a lot more responsibility because I was in charge of everything in my area.

What I wish was different

I wish there had been other interns with the same organization so we could communicate in person.

Advice

In remote internships it is important to take the lead and be dedicated, you won't gain anything from this type of internship if you're not.
