Hey guys! I wanted to discuss with you guys a little bit of my journey with starting to come together for places I can internship for! I’ve already done a little bit of my own research on the location that I am very interested in. It might seem far fetch, but I would love to land a job in Charleston, North Carolina. Believe it or not, Charleston is known for big event organizations, specifically weddings. As I searched online I came across a company called “Fox Events,” and thought that this organization suits my personality fabulously. They focus primarily on weddings but they do of course organize events for birthdays, cocktail hours, gala’s, and meetings. I loved the fact that they are known for their southern sophistication as well as their wild spirit of nature. Lauren, who is the owner of this organization, really struck a chord with me. She explains in her Bio about how she has organized many of her family members weddings which brought me back in time with me planning out my sister’s wedding. This topic hit home for me and I’m sure whatever inspired her to start this organization, also inspired me to join it. What I also love about this firm is that there are all women working for Fox Events. It makes me feel one hundred percent at ease and ready to jump in at full force. I do realize that Charleston could be un-realistic with the traveling aspect, so I had to also do my research on event planning firms here in the Philadelphia region. What I came across was an agency called Ebetalent that is not as conservative as Foxevents. Ebe throws events for weddings, mitsvah’s, and live band show cases. What makes this event different from Foxevents is that they have djs partnered up with this organization, as well as videographers. I think this organization will go good with my life style because it is located just fifteen minutes away from my current location, and it has many media partners with radio stations that I listen too. I think both of these firms are great, but it’s just a matter of picking which one makes more sense for me to intern for. In the next two years I want to do more research on both of these companies, and apply to the one I can really relate to the most. After the two years, I would hope to graduate and already be working for one of these companies.
Hey Gabrielle,
ReplyDeleteI think its great that you know the direction you are going in. I think knowing what you want to do takes a lot of stress out of school. I was lucky enough to intern for a great company that is in the field of work I plan on going into after I graduate. Also, your doing yourself a great service by actually researching different options that are available. I think your on the right path! Very motivating post.
