SCOIR Inc.

Marketing Intern

May 2016 • West Chester, PA

What I liked

I like working in a small office environment, where most of my coworkers know who I am and I know who they are and what they do. I like working intimately with a team that they allowed me to interview and pick (as the senior-most intern I'm technically the intern manager). I also enjoy the casual nature of my work environment. I work directly opposite the CEO and regularly speak with the president, and am involved in relevant decisions made on the user system. I was allowed the freedom and responsibility to design the system we use in content creation, and it has made me more motivated and positively engaged in my work.

What I wish was different

Nothing!

Advice

This internship is all what you make of it: if you want to come in and just follow directions and not get directly engaged in the project you can, but the really rewarding parts of it are getting engaged with the business directly. You can directly shadow most members of the team if you ask to schedule it, you're regularly consulted on what features would improve the system, and management loves having well thought out ideas brought to them that might help promote the website.
