Week 2

Post #1

I finished my first week as an intern successfully! Now on to week 2! This week I have definitely been more organized. One tool I have used since the second grade, and highly recommend using: a planner! I have used my planner to remind me of all the tasks I need to complete for MyFab5, for the Digital Clinic, and just my personal/ American Marketing Association stuff. For MyFab5 I have to make sure I post 3 pictures for all 7 Instagram accounts, request permission to use other users pictures, work 10 hours, etc. Then for the Clinic, i need to make sure I blog 2x a week, study for a certification, do weekly progress reports, update my LinkedIn, etc. In order to make sure I get all of this done and not get overwhelmed I have to plan my week out ahead of time so I can make a realistic plan of how to get everything done. Time management skills are very important.

The other big thing I need to figure out by this week is which certification I should do. I am very unsure as to which one I should do, because I don't know which one is the best one to have as a marketing professional. I was pretty set on doing Google Analytics, but I have been hearing a lot of marketing professionals talking about other certifications so I am going to look around tonight and see if I find a better one. If not, Google Analytics it is!
