I got the incredible opportunity to intern at Telemundo New Orleans. As a member of PRSSA I attended a networking night last semester, and got to talk to a lot of people. Telemundo caught my attention, so when I stopped and talk, I asked for information and they told me they send me an email. Some weeks later I got an email from a Loyola student that worked there, saying they wanted to talk an offer me an internship if I was interested. That same Friday I went to an interview and got it.
I was not expecting to have so much work; I thought I would only assist on small things. I had some experience on writing scripts, but I had to refresh my memory and write small scripts for my supervisor about some article, either a story that I had to translate …show more content…
I had support from many of the people in Telemundo, it was an extremely friendly environment, but the job would get done. It helped me get and idea of what goes on behind the scenes on a daily basis. Though I knew I had all the help, my supervisor trusted I could do it on my own; it became my own responsibility.
I want to go into broadcasting, and this is hand on experience. I haven’t taken communication writing, and I already have some experience in it, so I am sure I’m not going to have a problem next semester in that class. I took digital communications, and at the same time edited at my internship, so I had some extra practice, and actually worked with two different programs. Also gained some experience on presenting myself on TV.
I have no doubt that as a college student this is a great opportunity I could have had. I worked on directly on the field I aspire to work in the future. I want to go into broadcasting, and now I’ve seen how it works and even participated in it. Working at Telemundo is a great opportunity and connection for the future. What I learned during this internship will help me in school and in future jobs in every aspect; from the professional skills, to the social skills. This internship opens doors to the field, knowing people and little by little gets to become a News
