This week was my second week as a marketing intern at a small tech company. On Monday, my mentor, Clara, asked me to review last month’s social media posts and list the best-performing ones. I learned to check impressions, clicks, and comments.
On Tuesday, I joined a team meeting. At first, I was nervous, but Clara encouraged me to share my ideas. I suggested posting short customer tips on Fridays. The team liked it and asked me to prepare a draft plan.
Wednesday was busy. I had to create a simple graphic for an upcoming webinar. I watched a short tutorial, tested two designs, and sent them to Clara before lunch. She chose the second one and gave me feedback on colors and font size.
On Thursday, I scheduled next week’s posts using the company’s tool and wrote short captions. I also answered a few customer messages under supervision.
Friday was my favorite day. I presented my “Friday Tips” plan to the team: topics, sample captions, and a 4-week calendar. Everyone clapped, and our manager said we could try it next month. I felt more confident and realized that internships are not just about learning—they’re also about contributing.
