<\/p>\nHi Guys,<\/p>\n
My name is Cole Mausolf, and I am a Senior Strategic and Corporate Communication major and Psychology minor here at Chapman University. This past semester, I had the opportunity to intern at PicksCity Entertainment Incorporated. I had a great experience interning for this company over the course of this semester and I am excited to share more about my experiences in this blog post.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
How Did I Find\/Land This Internship?<\/strong><\/p>\n Let me first highlight the fact that finding an internship isn\u2019t easy at all. Especially, if you\u2019re looking for an internship that fits your career goals and aspirations. I initially started my internship search for this particular position in the fall semester of my senior year at Chapman University. At this time, I was looking for a sports marketing internship in specific. Through extensive searches on LinkedIn, Indeed, and Glassdoor, I just couldn\u2019t find an internship that I thought was a good fit for me. I applied to a few, but they weren\u2019t positions I really wanted or had passions for. Instead, I went through the Chapman Handshake page and immediately found sports marketing positions that caught my attention. I immediately started applying to six or seven positions that interested me, including the PicksCity Entertainment position. Over the course of the next few weeks, I heard back from a few of those companies, including PicksCity. Since I really wanted the internship at PicksCity, I got back to them first. After a few back-and-forth messages through Handshake, I was able to land a phone interview with the President and CEO at the company. After the completion of the phone interview, he told me that I had landed the position as a social media marketing intern. I was ecstatic that I landed the internship that I wanted, and I wouldn\u2019t have been able to do it without Chapman Handshake. I highly recommend using the Chapman Handshake resource to find any job or internship. It is very easy to use and is available to all Chapman University students.<\/p>\n My Responsibilities and Role as a PicksCity Intern<\/strong><\/p>\n Like I mentioned above, I got hired to be a social media marketing intern for PicksCity Entertainment Incorporated. PicksCity is a sports handicap betting website that is used by many people interested in receiving the best sports picks by highly qualified professionals. As a social media intern for this company, it was my responsibility to grow and expand the popularity of PicksCity\u2019s social media platforms, mainly their Twitter platform. For this role, I was in charge of planning and scheduling tweets, retweeting, identifying social media trends, and looking at engagement data on Twitter. Basically, anything having to do with Twitter, I had a hand in. I also had a role in coming up with the ideation of social media content on other platforms including Instagram. Furthermore, when I wasn\u2019t looking after the social media platforms, I engaged in regular contact with my and boss at PicksCity to ensure everything was running smoothly.<\/p>\n What did I learn from this internship?<\/strong><\/p>\n As an intern for PicksCity, I learned more than I ever thought I would. My career goal is to work in the marketing department for an NBA organization, and I felt that this internship with PicksCity set me up for that goal moving forward. To start off, I was able to gain hands on experience in working with a sports affiliated company. But, other than that, I was able to learn how to monitor, track, and identify social media trends after being in charge of a huge platform like Twitter. I also learned how to tailor tweets to a specific target audience and analyze what tweets got a lot of engagement and what tweets didn\u2019t. Ultimately, working as a social media intern for PicksCity taught me how to grow a following on social media and work with others in a professional setting. My experience at PicksCity Entertainment will definitely be something I look back on as a major factor in the shaping and development of my career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Cole Mausolf\\’s Internship Experience at PicksCity Entertainment Incorporated<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4556,"featured_media":5286,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"custom_author_name":"","chapman_pin_hero_slider":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[73,33],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5282","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-career-advice","category-internships"],"yoast_head":"\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/communication\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/77\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-26-at-2.31.03-PM.png\")
