Working for Lead Lab…
Being able to intern for Lead Lab has been an absolute blessing. I’ve been able to balance interning with a part-time job, a full course load as well as collegiate basketball. This is largely due to the flexibility Lead Lab has provided me. I was able to fit in hours whenever I was free and never felt forced to work when I was busy with school work or other things.
It was also incredibly convenient that I could work from anywhere, because as a busy college student, it would’ve been a challenge to get to an office so many times per week. This way, I was extremely productive wherever I was, and did not have to waste time driving to an office.
Communication was efficient and effective with the team whenever I had questions or issues and they never hesitated to take time out of their busy schedules to teach me new techniques and skills.
Probably the most beneficial part of this experience was the relevance of the skills I learned. In looking for full-time jobs post graduation, many of the positions I considered listed “client budget pacing”, “experience with Google AdWords”, or “experience with Facebook ads manager” as necessary skills.
Prior to my internship with LeadLab, I had none of these skills but because of this internship, I can say that I feel confident in all of these areas and therefore am qualified for a variety of full-time positions that I probably would not have been qualified for otherwise.
My experience with LeadLab gave me more to talk about in my job interviews and gave me more confidence in my media skills, which I believe sets me apart from other graduating seniors.
I never imagined I could gain so much from a part-time internship while balancing school, a job and basketball, but this experience has truly set me up for success in my post grad career. I can’t thank Sara, Jackie and Kristen enough for being so patient with me and putting so much trust in me.
