I had an awesome opportunity to go to a networking and internship event at Chief MO in American Fork last night. They are an outsourcing marketing company that have been in business for a little over three years. A number of my friends were at the event and there were a number of businesses that were represented. There was a company called Coding Campus which is looking for interns with getting the voice out about their company that helps stay at home moms and other amateurs learn to code and enhance their work experience. Another man has started several businesses and is currently working with a company called Snap which is a device that allows you to snap things to your backpacks, work bags, phones, etc. All of these companies and even the people within the Chief MO office are looking for additional help. The most interesting thing is that the work space is so dynamic and fun. They have a shared work space with different members of these companies, every position from cinematographer, to public relations writer and promoter, to a sales representative. What was most enticing was that the head of marketing, Camille, said that working in the office will give the interns a chance to rub shoulders with everyone and get experience in many different fields of business. I am so excited for this opportunity because it will be a good step to launch my career!
Also another thought, talking to people or potential employers without your own agenda is golden! Take interest in their lives and don't be looking for anything in return. Let your personality and genuine interest do the talking!
