With multiple other applicants, at times it can feel as if you&#8217;re just another number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But, in December 2017, I was fortunate enough to receive an offer to intern at an agency in Fort Worth. You guessed it\u2014here at J.O. I did my research ahead of time and was banking on this opportunity. When I got the call that I received the position, I literally ran around my house in celebration. I&#8217;d wanted to intern for an agency and was granted the opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">J.O. stands out in comparison to other agencies. The clients J.O. has and the work the team produces are second-to-none compared to those of agencies with twice as many people. Another reason I chose to apply for this position was the size of the team. Over the past five months, I have learned a tremendous amount from this tight-knit team. In a small agency, I was able to see directly what everyone was working on and see how each piece coincided and connected. I saw first-hand how everyone contributes to the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Throughout my college career, I&#8217;ve learned to be a chameleon. You must learn how to blend in with multiple personalities and cultures in this industry. No matter how well you work by yourself, it&#8217;s important to work well with people on a team. Being the president of the PRSSA chapter at UT-Arlington taught me you must learn how to follow before you can lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best advice I can give future interns is to be a sponge and take notes! You are not above any task. Take every opportunity seriously, and I promise you&#8217;ll get it back tenfold. I have no doubt in my mind that after this internship, I&#8217;m prepared for the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Robert Williams,<\/strong><br>Marketing Intern<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The hunt for an agency internship is challenging.
