Severe Lack of Communication - Volunteer Capitol Standard Employee Review

My internship with Capitol Standard was the first one I ever got. I loved that I got a first-hand experience into the world of social media management. I had a lot of freedom and control of the accounts, but I also appreciated the amount of guidance and revision I received from Ursula. During our weekly calls we discussed new ideas and strategies to increase engagement and drive views to the website and we worked together to ensure they worked. I really enjoyed being a part of the team. My ideas were valued and my work was not taken for granted. I saw the results of all the effort we put in and I am very glad I received this opportunity as my first internship.

If you are not good at time management, working with little supervision and you don't follow trends this position might not be the best for you.

Working at Capitol Standard gives you the opportunity to spread your creative wings while learning practical aspects of the digital publishing industry. The magazine is a great resource for well-informed individuals interested in DC professionals’ work and social agendas.

Always amazing content to write, so it can be busy at times.
