• Help promote special events and community programming
• Interact with customers and encourage user-generated content
• Work scheduled shifts serving customers at The Sweet Spot
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
Social Media Strategy • Content Creation • Branding • Hospitality Marketing • Event Promotion • Photography & Video • Analytics • Small Business Marketing

We’ll ask for a short introduction, your résumé and—most importantly—something you’ve created. That can be a Reel, TikTok, photography account, Canva design, class project, social account or anything else that shows us your creative style.
We care more about your creativity, personality and potential than having a fancy résumé.
