So, as public communication student, I joined 1776 Team to enrich my skills.
1776 is a unique place with unique environment. It is a startup incubator right in the heart of Washington, D.C ( actually across the street from the Washington Post). It has amazing collaborative workspace where people gather together everyday and working next to each other. I will write more on the environment in one of the next posts, for now I will tell you how I caught myself here.
Last semester I took Social Media Strategy and Tactics class at American University (and my first two posts actually were assignments for this class). One day, our professor held class at 1776. Being impressed with space, I focused my eyes to any mentions of 1776 and one day I saw my friend's post about available internship positions. I applied for two: pr and event departments. PR is my major, and event management was my previous internship. After standard process of sending resume, cover letters and interviews, my first day at 1776 arrived.
I started in June. Originally, I was supposed to intern till the end of summer, but then opportunity to do the fall internship appeared and I decided to go for it.
So, I've been interning at 1776 for four months already, and they were amazing months full of great people and interesting events, challenging task and pleasurable outcomes.
More reflections of my internship to come soon...
