What Was Useful Moving Forward This internship was incredibly useful and a great learning experience for my career. After graduation, I want to find a job as a social media manager or strategist and this internship, and my internship mentor, David Smooke, provided invaluable experience that I can absolutely apply to future positions One of the skills I improved upon during the internship is making genuine connections with influencers on Twitter and developing relationships, which is extremely important in social media management Something that I would like to continue to improve on is coming up with blog title ideas and pitches for guest posters, to ease the processes of soliciting guest blog posts
