This post is a grab from my Instagram page in case you’re feeling a little Deja Vu.

Trying to live in the moment but may 15 can’t come soon enough!! 👩🏾‍🎓⁣⁣ (open for the journey)⠀
⁣⁣⠀
The biggest blessing is that I have secured a 𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘫𝘰𝘣 and I will be working in marketing @google starting fall 2020.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
It all started 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐡𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫 when I applied to 60+ internships and received 59 nos and a yes and did an unpaid internship at ELLE Magazine as a Beauty & Fitness intern. It was anything but glamorous, but I enjoyed testing all the beauty products sent to the editors. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
𝐒𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫 I interned at NBC Universal at NBC News and worked on social media, interviews, writing articles and assisting on video shoots. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫 I applied to intern at Google—random right?! But they and other tech companies hire tons of people in non-tech roles. I realized that it was a place I actually wanted to work at (gasp) even though I will always be an entrepreneur at heart. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
After interviews and evals, I got my official offer letter in October and accepted. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Throughout it all, I have worked on uploading videos, building my audience, traveling, testing business ideas and trying new things. I went to every career fair and networking night at USC and made sure I built relationships with the companies I wanted to work at. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Everyone’s early career journey is different but I hope that sharing mine gives you some insight—I have videos on how to secure internships at all these companies, resume tips and more so go check them out at YouTube.com/missjoi100⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Also happy to answer any questions in the comments :) ⁣⁣⠀
