ROLE RESEARCH: Jobs & Internships Review the job postings listed above and select your first choice. Reflect on your preferences and qualifications related to that position. Best Fit: Based on the job descriptions from these three roles, which is the best fit for you? Draw connections between this role and your skills and preferences in 3-4 sentences. I am currently pursuing a BA in marketing with a certificate in film, so all 3 positions are relevant, but focus on different parts of my skill set. I have a deep interest and minor experience with various social media platforms, and are also a semi-professional photographer and videographer. I am currently more interested in a video-focused internship, and such would also evidently lead to integration into social media operations.

Skills I have: Based on the job description, which skills or requirements do you currently possess?     

Social Media Experience/Knowledge Minor Marketing Strategy Experience Intermediate Photo and Video production experience Photo and Video Editing Program Knowledge Strong Literacy

Skills I need: Based on the job description, which skills or requirements do you need to build to become a stronger candidate?    

Physical industry experience Niche Social Media Experience (Pinterest, Twitch) Far Geographical Distance Off from specific interests (sports instead of automotive)

INDUSTRY RESEARCH Select one of the industries listed above and reflect on your interest and the industry’s position in the market. Answer the questions below in 3-4 sentences each. Include links to any resources used. Recommended resource: First Research, Username: Firstresearch, PW: Mergent Which industry are you most interested in and why? Film and Video I’ve always had an interest in the visual and creative side of marketing so creating photo/video would get me the closest to that interest. I am just as interested in the management of content as I am in the creation of content, but I feel like someone would have to make respectable content for others to respect your opinion on theirs.

Is this a good industry to go into in the current market? Use evidence from First Research (eg. Industry forecast, quarterly industry update, business trends, etc.) and/or other sources to back up your answer. Industry Growth: High Revenue (in current dollars) for the US motion picture and video industries is forecast to grow at an annual compounded rate of 4% between 2020 and 2024. Demand: Driven by consumer spending Need creativity, effective marketing Risk: Theft of copyrighted material

The pandemic has also created a demand for a high quality representation of their company online. (my observation)
