Intern Chick

I realize it may not be completely clear what job is what on this blog. So to be clear:

Internship: My original internship that I got in August at a record label. I work in Publishing at this job, and I work for Vin and the Big Boss. I work here three days a week (Tuesday through Thursday)

Job #2: This is the second internship I got sometime around September. I call this a job because it pays me $50/week and because I work from home in my "spare" time to do it. It also requires the most amount of work. My boss for this job is the same boss I worked for last summer, we'll call her Eva. For this, I do internet marketing.

Internship #3: My most recent internship, one that I looked for for quite some time and got hired for back in October. This is also another record label, but I work in the New Media department. This is my favorite internship and one I haven't written much about because I only work here twice a week (Monday and Friday). I have four bosses at this job, two males and two females.


At Internship #3 I mainly deal with our label's website and the websites for all our artists. This also includes their social networking pages. I've worked in New Media in the past, but I strongly feel New Media is the future of the record industry so I jumped at the opportunity to take this job (and they hired me on the spot). There's tons of stuff to be done at this job which is why I like it so much, and I fit in with the office culture much better here. Some of the things I do are update artist websites with news or tour info, make sure the blogs they wrote on Myspace are also posted on their website, create Facebook fan pages, go through every artist site and make sure all the A/V is working properly, and create clips of songs to post online. The main point of the job is to keep our websites accurate and user friendly. I take great pride in working for this company, because they were one of the first record labels to have an online presence and do an amazing job at keeping each website up to date.

All four of my bosses started out as interns and understand what its like to be struggling at the bottom, working for free. This makes for a great boss. They're also young and haven't turned into those typical industry bosses yet. We all work very hard in this department and don't spend a lot of time on bullsh*t (like washing dishes). Overall, Internship #3 was a great find for me and I wish I started it sooner.

The pressure on me is mounting.  I have internship #1, my "paying" job, and internship #2 (my newest).  I also have to squeeze some time for me in there.
