Tell us a little bit about your internship.
“I spent three months at 华盛顿邮报 在D.C. as the photo editing intern. I have a passion for photojournalism and photo editing through extracurriculars here on campus. From the very first day, I was treated like an employee. I was in charge of the 金融, Business, and 健康 sections in print, responding to breaking news.”
What are the most important skills that you used to succeed in your position?
“As the photo editing intern, I interacted with different sections on a daily basis. I made sure to always know their expectations when they placed any photo requests for their pieces. 作为实习生, we were also encouraged to email whomever we wanted to have a chat with over coffee or lunch. Being a sociable person definitely helped a lot.”
How did you use 世界十大电子游戏平台’s resources to help you prepare for your internship?
“During the application process, 世界十大电子游戏平台 helped me a lot. I made an appointment with a Career Advisor; we went over every one of my drafts for the required material, correcting and editing them and making sure they were ready for the application.”
