Beth’s Internship Experience at Hey Me
Hi there, I’m Beth, a recent intern at Hey Me. I really wanted to share my experience because it’s super competitive in the creative field nowadays, and I really hope to inspire others to seek out opportunities that align with your values and professional goals. The right environment and support can make all the difference, and for me, Hey Me has been just that!
Ever since I was little, I’ve always been drawn to the arts. Creativity was my outlet and as I grew older, this passion evolved, leading me to pursue a digital marketing apprenticeship. Last year, I graduated with a Master’s in Graphic Design, focusing on using visual communication to raise mental health awareness. I now have over five years of experience in social media and digital marketing across various sectors, including charities, technology training providers, fitness studios, and more.
Despite my work experience, I was eager to delve deeper into the world of communications. This led me to the amazing opportunity of taking on an internship with Hey Me!
Building Skills and Gaining Hands-On Experience
At Hey Me, I have had the chance to work directly with several clients, which has significantly enhanced my multitasking abilities and my capacity to work under pressure. This hands-on experience has been invaluable, allowing me to apply and refine my skills in a real-world setting. One of the standout aspects of this internship has been the incredibly supportive and empowering small team of talented women!
Flexible Working and Work/Life Balance
The flexible working style at Hey Me is something that truly resonates with me. In today’s fast-paced world, maintaining a work/life balance is crucial, not only for productivity but for mental health and wellbeing. This approach has allowed me to bring my best and most productive self to the internship, whilst still managing other commitments.
Personal and Professional Development
Another highlight of my internship has been the opportunity to participate in various workshops aimed at enhancing my communication skills, particularly in PR and SEO. These sessions have been invaluable, equipping me with the tools to excel in the communications field.
Looking Forward
As for next steps, I am excited that I will be continuing to work with Hey Me on a freelance basis as well as starting up my own design and marketing freelance business. This internship has not only developed my professional skill set but also affirmed my passion for communications. I am so grateful to the Hey Me team for this incredible experience!
