Re: Internship Experience?

-How was your overall experience?
I held several internships. All were great. I got to see valuable niches in marketing from several different places and was able to hone in on what I wanted to do.

-Do you feel that you contributed to the company?
Yes. Interns at every company I worked out made a contribution in terms of planning and executing events, writing copy, internal communication, PR, making a final presentation based on a marketing problem they had identified and it's potential solutions, etc.

-How was it set up?
I established set hours at each, with regular meetings with the intern supervisor and a lot of on my own time to work through projects.

-How did you get the internship?
My university holds intern fairs. What really helped me get hired was knowing previous interns or full-time entry level staff-- university alumni and sorority members

-Did you go into the field that you interned in?
Yes

-Do you feel you gained "real world experience"?
Absolutely

-How long was your internship?
Each lasted one semester. Some were concurrent

-Did you receive any benefits(including fringe) while being an intern?
I was paid at one internship and received free promo items (theme park tickets, goodies, concert tickets)

-How were you treated?
I was always treated as a professional whose time and opinion mattered.
