CosmoProf Beauty’s Post

Recently, I've been inundated with messages about my internship at Sleepy Owl Private Ltd. So, here I am sharing my experiences and insights from navigating the corporate world. As a business development intern, my focus was on B2B online sales, with particular emphasis on corporate gifting. Stepping into this role during the festive season last year thrust me into a whirlwind of activity. My responsibilities ranged from engaging with past and potential leads to negotiating deals, and fostering strong company relationships. I received comprehensive training and briefings on company operations, sales strategies, (lots of coffee obviously 🤗)and even had the opportunity for a factory visit, which added the needed cherry on the cake. Undoubtedly, it was a holistic learning experience. It honed my communication and negotiation skills, offering ample opportunities to engage in lengthy client calls, address queries, track progress, and interact with diverse stakeholders on a daily basis. In the realm of sales, every potential deal is an open opportunity until it's a definitive no. Each negotiation demanded meticulous attention to detail, and effective coordination across various departments was crucial for seamless delivery. The office culture, routines, and working environment quickly became familiar territory, teaching me valuable lessons in commitment and discipline. This internship provided invaluable insights into business growth and expansion, while also significantly enhancing my communication skills and boosting my confidence and fostering a deeper sense of engagement with the organization. #linkedincommunity #internshipexperience

Sometimes you have to think outside the box… 📦 In my first year of #university I had a number of health problems and I was due to miss a lecture in October with the then #MarketingExecutive at #Superdry due to a hospital appointment. However, in the pre-lecture notes 📝 they had provided their email address in case any students wanted to ask questions. I decided to shoot my shot instead… • I preemptively emailed them stating I was due to miss the lecture, and that I was sorry I was going to miss it but explained the circumstances. • I asked questions about her and her role at Superdry. • I then asked if there were ever any #internships, unpaid or otherwise then I would be greatly interested. That email thread landed me a #summerinternship at Superdry HQ the following May where I worked during my summer break. I learned far more on the job experience here than in any classroom and that knowledge has stayed with me all these years. When I asked, why did they hire me, she told me it was because I stood out and no one had done this previously. My point…if you want to stand out from the masses, you have to get comfortable with putting yourself out there! Don’t wait for internships or opportunities to arise or be posted, sometimes you have to make them yourself and never be afraid to take that chance, the worst they can say is no. ❌ Lastly, you may not remember me, but I will always be grateful to Kat Lockwood who took a chance me on. #shootyourshot #thewebannex #marketingintern #fearofrejection #lifetips

Happy Interns Day! I spoke with one of my clients about the interns she has working with her this summer and she told me about a question she asked each of them recently. She asked each of them what they hadn't worked on yet but wanted to before the end of the summer. I think this is such an important thing to find out. Remember, you have the ability to help a young person determine their future path right now. Talk to your interns. Ask questions. Find out what they love and don't love. You never know, you may be talking to your future best employee. #internsday #edistoconsultinggroup #nowhiring

Did you know that 70% of companies believe internships are a critical way to find future full-time employees? 🌟 As a past intern turned business owner I cannot agree more! Today, I'm thrilled to introduce our incredible new summer interns! 🎉 Watching fresh faces step onto our team with enthusiasm and innovative ideas is always a highlight of the job. We had over 50 applicants this semester and these six bright minds bring new perspectives that challenge us to think differently and push boundaries. Meet Noah Pelo, Angel Decker, Kiernan Dunn, Zac Doggett, Riley Mortenson, and Sydney Harrison – six individuals who have already started making waves in their few weeks. We have four different internship tracks this summer. Producing, Video Production, Post Production, and Sales. Why are internships this important? Because recognizing creative potential and educating about the real world of production for our interns not only boosts their confidence but also shines a light on the future they could hold. When we uplift others, we create a ripple effect that benefits everyone in our network. Let's give a big round of applause to these six! 👏 I'm excited to share how they are making a difference throughout their internship, and we can't wait to see what you accomplish this summer. I can't go without thanking our amazing team that interviewed and made the tough decisions with so many applicants. Big shoutout to Megan Walker-Young, MBA, MSML, Alise King, Mariah Salazar, Becca Hofmann, and Lacey Duncan! If you know someone that would benefit with an internship at BW Productions let me know! Our Fall internship cohort applications will be going live in July and we want the very best to be a part of our program. #WelcomeInterns #CelebrateSuccess #FutureLeaders #VideoProduction #SmallBusiness
