This summer, I interned at Catchpoint Systems, a tech company in NYC. At Catchpoint, I worked on the marketing team, and completed a vide array of tasks. Some of my tasks included research projects utilizing Exce<\/strong>l, writing a case study<\/strong>, and sending a biweekly company-wide report<\/strong> on the internal and external content produced by the marketing team!<\/p>\n It’s super refreshing to know that the skills acquired through my history major carried over into the workplace! A number of employees on the marketing team stressed the need for “good writers” in the marketing field<\/strong>– and that is definitely a skill that the history major demands of its majors. Similarly, the ability to analyze<\/strong> key information and write concisely is another skill I have acquired through my major. I definitely tapped into these skills while writing the case study and sending biweekly reports!<\/p>\n The immense responsibility of your role! Many students associate internships with coffee-runs or completing mundane tasks. However, at least at Catchpoint, my work actually mattered to the company<\/strong>, which was definitely rewarding.<\/p>\n I now can officially say I have a clear desire to pursue a career in marketing<\/strong>, which gives me somewhat of a game plan! Catchpoint provided me with an experience that makes me excited about the field, and gave me a great overview of what to expect!<\/p>\n Document your tasks!<\/strong> I made an Excel sheet and filled out my tasks for the week, including the skills I utilized and what I learned from completing the task. This will make resume adjustments easier, and will give you plenty to share when people ask what you did!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Meet\u00a0Caroline\u00a0Legare ’18 Intern\u00a0at\u00a0Catchpoint Systems Tell us about where you are interning and the kind of work you are doing.
