What’s It Like to be a Come Recommended Intern?
“My experience as a content creator trainee didn’t feel like any other internship I’ve had. I was a trusted member of the team and expected to perform with the same level of efficiency and excellence as the rest of the hired staff. There’s nothing menial about this internship. The flexibility in terms of the digital environment and the overall learning experience is unmatched. Throughout my internship, I got the chance to greatly improve my writing skills, learn and utilize SEO tactics, as well as undertake new techniques and skills I had yet to come in contact with in previous internships. As a content creator trainee, I truly benefitted from every piece of work and was challenged on a daily basis. I can easily say that the company culture at CR is one of the best I’ve ever experienced. This internship has broadened my skill set and given me a leg up on the competition for my future in the PR industry.” — Brittany S. (Fall 2012 & Spring 2013)
“If you’re looking for an experience that will cultivate the skills you need to land a nice entry-level job in PR, an internship with Come Recommended is for you. The internship is virtual, which makes your work flexible. But the deadlines, expectations, and learning experiences are at the same level as any other PR agency. As a content creator trainee, I was able to learn new tools and techniques that refined my writing to a much higher level, developed my SEO techniques, and opened my eyes to new strategies such as blog commenting and infographic content writing. The CR team is a pleasure to work with and is open to helping you grow in any way they can. I highly recommend Come Recommended.

“Working at Come Recommended has been my most valuable career experience to date. From day one, the responsibilities of interns truly matter in terms of the company’s greater goals–no fetching coffee or working the copier! The virtual nature of the position allows for flexibility that’s unparalleled in traditional office environments, allowing you to work when you’re available, from the comfort of your own home. This makes creating a positive work-life balance easy to accomplish–something that can be very difficult to achieve in our modern workforce. In addition, interns gain valuable knowledge blogging, developing SEO strategies, and fostering media relations that are beneficial for anyone looking for experience in communications. I’ve been delighted to have hands-on writing experience, with the opportunity for my work to be featured in major media outlets. I have learned so much in this position that I truly feel prepared for the workforce after I graduate. Heather is a wonderful, patient mentor, and she fosters a fun and inclusive company culture. I can’t speak highly enough of my experience with CR.” — Julie M. (Summer and Fall 2012)
“My internship with Come Recommended was the last in a long string of internships completed throughout two years. Not only was this internship my most enjoyable, I also believe it was the most beneficial to my career. As a Come Recommended content creator trainee, you’re expected to complete daily tasks with the same efficiency and professionalism as staff writers. While the tasks can seem overwhelming at first, the Come Recommended staff is more than willing to shift around deadlines or take an assignment or two off of your hands until you become comfortable with the fast-paced environment. Heather has assembled a truly talented and fun group of professionals. I can’t express how much you’ll miss your conversations with the team once your internship is completed. I highly recommend the content creator trainee internship for students or recent graduates looking to gain social media, SEO writing, and client contact experience without having to don professional wear and commute to a downtown office.” — Lisa G. (Summer 2012)
“As a Come Recommended intern, you are an integral part of the CR team. Despite working with a team located in various regions of the country, it was suprisingly easy to communicate with each other, share ideas, and complete assignments. Heather truly cares about each intern’s success, and goes above and beyond to ensure that you get the best experience possible from this internship. Though it was overwhelming at first, I learned more than I ever thought possible. In fact, before completing this internship, I was having trouble finding a career that I was both interested in and qualified for. By the time I finished this internship, I had gained so much experience in my field that I had two great job offers to pick from.” — Megan W. (Summer 2012)
“I could not have been more fortunate to land an internship with Come Recommended right after I graduated in May. At the time, I pictured it as a great way to get ahead during the summer months… talk about getting ahead! From day one, we were assigned deadlines for real assignments. Our team and our clients depended on us — and that is huge for an intern! We were respected and given the responsibilities we deserved. It is safe to say I learned more about digital marketing, blogging, media relations, and SEO during my one summer with Come Recommended than I did in four years of college courses. In a short time, my writing improved tenfold. I learned how to use some of the most innovative online tools and I was able to stay up-to-date with the most recent social media trends. To top it all off, the experience was enjoyable as I was delighted with the presence of a friendly and helpful team every single day.” — Brittany T. (Summer 2012)
“I’m thrilled to have been given the opportunity to intern with Come Recommended. I was able to really get involved in all aspects of the company and build my experiences, skills and portfolio under Heather’s mentorship. Interning for Come Recommended gave me hands-on experience in writing, editing, public relations, content marketing, and much more. This internship is definitely not about getting coffee or making photocopies — it’s real experience!” — Kate D. (Fall 2011 and Spring 2012)
