Senior Advertising & Brand Strategy/Communications Student at the University of North Texas
To my fellow graduates and internship seekers: it is CRUCIAL to communicate your experience in a way that resonates with recruiters. One thing I’ve consistently heard from recruiters, mentors, HR managers, and higher-ups is that any experience can be valuable—as long as you know how to frame it!
Sharing this out because it’s so rare to find an intern who has effectively communicated their advertising media internship experience via LinkedIn the way this intern did and they deserve their flowers. If I’m hiring for an entry level role within media, and you happen to apply, and you ALSO happen to have relevant internship experience….this is exactly what I’m looking for. Let’s break it down: 📘 There is clear communication of relevant responsibilities using specific soft skills, tools (hard skills) and mediums of media. 📗Mention of campaigns monitoring, tracking performance and communication being utilized in a team setting 📕Mention of dealing with billing issues and media vendors. 📓 In the skills section, they mention relevant hard skills. 📙Clear description of how their work made an impact to the teams goals and responsibilities. Now I understand not every single one of you is going to have this kind of experience, but if you do, this is how you effectively, and clearly communicate said experience to a recruiter via LinkedIn. By the way, this was an intern….. #earlycareers #entrylevel #careeradvice #recruiteradvice #resumes
