Name: Gabrielle Franks

Internship, Co-op or Research Site: I.M.P. / 9:30 Club

Position Title: Marketing Intern

Major(s)/Minor(s): Music Technology

Work Term: Summer 2019 

Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities.

As an intern for 9:30 Club, I mainly conducted research regarding concert production with a focus on marketing and promotions. I assisted the promotions department in and out of the office, interacting with the music and fans alike; this included getting to work at tables for concerts at The Anthem, Merriweather Post Pavilion, and Lincoln Theater! My favorite show that I attended through my internship was Billie Eilish at The Anthem.

Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?

I originally reached out to Matt Doherty - my supervisor, and the person who runs the internship program at the 9:30 Club - in March of 2019, and asked about any opportunities that they had for the summer. He was eager to send me all of the information and was happy to answer my questions about the position. Once I submitted my application, they took about 3 or 4 weeks to review it and emailed me with an offer for an interview. Following the interview, they emailed me after about a week to extend an offer for an internship position to me!

What have you enjoyed the most about your position or organization? 

The relaxed environment! There's not a very strict dress code, the faces in the office were always friendly, and I met some really interesting people through the program that I wouldn't have met otherwise.

How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?

I contributed in various ways to the work that the office completed this summer, but I really enjoyed getting to create media content for the advertising team. I was able to create video montages to post online in order to promote various shows which was super fun and a great creative outlet for me. 

What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience? 

Make friends! Making contacts is so important, especially in the marketing realm - reach out to people, invite them to coffee, and don't be afraid to make genuine connections with your peers!

Also, the Career Center has been a great resource as a student and as an intern. Getting feedback on resume building and receiving advice via email throughout the summer as an internship practicum student was super motivating and acted as a reminder for me to make sure I got as much out of this summer experience as possible.

Internship, Co-op or Research Site: Equifax

Position Title: DevOps Automation Intern

Major(s)/Minor(s): Information Systems, Master’s Student

Work Term: Summer 2019 

Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities.

I joined Equifax as DevOps Automation Intern and my daily responsibilities were working on tools like Jenkins, Tableau, Hygieia, and ELK stack. On a day-to-day basis, I was given the task of creating automation scripts and orchestrating tasks on Jenkins. Then, I was responsible for visualizing the results of all the jobs on dashboards like Tableau, Hygieia or Kibana. My job role also included creating scripts in Groovy and Python to draw data from servers and publish it on Jenkins which can be further published onto ELK stack for visualizations. This internship gave me great exposure to a lot of tools and technologies which not only helped me build my knowledge of all the latest tools being used in the professional world but will also help me better my resume for future endeavors. 

Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?

I applied online for the internship position at Equifax and received a call from HR to set up a technical interview. There were two rounds of technical interviews which were set up on Zoom. A week after the final round, I received an email from HR that they had concluded the process and hired me for the internship position. The process was very smooth and in less than 3 weeks I received the offer letter.

What have you enjoyed the most about your position or organization? 

I got great exposure to a lot of tools and also a great experience working in a professional environment. 

How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?

Equifax is a credit bureau and it works on customer records and their credit history. I was a part of the CI/CD team which is the continuous integration and continuous deployment team. Various teams work on various tools like Nexus, Rundeck, Sonar, etc. Our job was to combine all these tools for different teams and create a common platform where all the teams could collaborate their work and create results as an alliance which would help the people higher in hierarchy to analyze and view results. 

What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience? 

My advice would be to stick to your domain and field of interest. Get an internship in the field similar to your interest and build your profile accordingly. Also, connect with as many people as possible to increase your contacts and know your company better. Additionally, the Career Center was of great help initially in creating my resume for open internship positions. Career events and the “Intern Like a Pro” practicum that is organized by Career Center were of great help to track my internship development.
