Internship Searching

Looking for an internship has turned into more of a headache than anything else. I am searching for one but I am also trying to keep an idea of what I really want to be doing in mind.

I interviewed with Casey Cid at Media Thirty Seven and I was actually extremely excited about the opportunity. Casey was looking for a Social Media intern which is ideal for me because of my love for social media websites. I also am extremely interested in marketing which just increased my excitement.

I carefully went through my writing samples the night before trying to pick out specific writings that I have done that related to social media. I think I picked three solid pieces of work that I have done. I also made sure to go through each a few times again checking for any grammatical errors or changes that needed to be made.

I showed up to the interview in business attire about fifteen minutes before my scheduled interview time. I was extremely nervous but I tried my best to stay calm. I think I did fairly well but I was still a little nervous while leaving.

Casey said she would notify me on Monday to inform me whether or not I received the internship. It is late Monday night and I still have not heard from her. Another one of my friends who interviewed with her also said that she has yet to hear from her either. I am guessing she just got extremely busy and forgot. I am very anxious to hear from her because I really want that specific internship. If I could have designed myself an internship it would have been that one.

Fingers crossed I get it. I keep anxiously checking my e-mail!
