\"\"Name:<\/strong> Brian Tapay<\/a><\/p>\n

Company:<\/strong> Warner Bros. Discovery<\/a><\/p>\n

Position:<\/strong> HBO Max Originals Creative Marketing Intern<\/p>\n

Degree\/Year\/Concentration:<\/strong>\u00a0BS In Business Administration, 2023, Management Emphasis<\/p>\n

What excites you about this company\/job?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

What excites me about HBO Max\/Warner Bros. Discovery is that I get to contribute to the story being told with each show\/film and essentially let people escape reality.<\/p>\n

How did you strategize landing this internship\/job?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I strategized landing this internship by talking to the right people before my interview and picking their brain on how the entertainment industry is, especially with the huge shift to the rise of streaming services.<\/p>\n

Give students some career advice for anyone looking for an internship\/job in this market (based on what you did)?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

My best career advice for anyone looking for a position in this market is to get out of your comfort zone and don\u2019t be afraid to cold message people on websites like LinkedIn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
