I am getting to the point where I am now thinking about future internships and companies that i would like to work for. Currently I am interning for an event coordinator here on campus with this years spring fest. I am pretty pumped for the opportunity to work with people that have years of experience on them and then theres me, with maybe 6 months of experience. This last week I started looking at companies around the Northwest and some were interesting to me because of the clients they had. It wasn't until last week when in class for agency we had a guest speaker who in fact was a PR practitioner and she talked about her career and her experience in the professional sector.
During her splurge of excellence she mentioned her internships and how I can be ahead if I can get an internship at a big company. She then went on to mention " Waggener Edstrom". That night I spent a couple hours researching them and what they do and how they do it. They are ranked 3rd in the nation, and not only do work in the United States, but also for companies around the globe. I started looking at the clients they handled and they were huge!
Microsoft
GE Healthcare
UNICEF
Chevron
T Mobile
Skype
My eyes popped when I saw those companies. I have yet to look into their campaigns and case studies but its something I want to keep looking up on because what she said about working for an agency, the research, marketing, the ideas and how closely we work with advertising sold me. I wanted to share that because it was the first time I think i know what I want to do for a career. The drive. The ambition. Thats what is fueling my fire to know more about this profession.
