1. Become a Social Media Master. Learn the latest trends, content formats, and what resonates with audiences. 2. Build Your Social Media Portfolio. If you don't have real-world experience then create mock social media campaigns for your favorite brands or businesses. 3. Network. Connect with people. Follow industry leaders, marketing professionals, and even the company you're targeting through social media platforms. 4. Research . Before you even hit that "apply" button, research the company and their social media presence. Understand their target audience, brand voice, and current campaigns.

To Tailor our resume to highlight relevant social media skills, education, and experiences. Use keywords from the job description to showcase our expertise.

Make sure your resume is up to date. It’s okay to change your resume often, and feel free to switch around the order of things, depending on what you apply for. Keep things concise— I like to write in bullets. It’s also good to have others review it before sending it out. Work on it in your free time so you have it done before the next application cycle!

Your portfolio is one of the first chances you get to showcase your skills to potential employers. Include your best work and show off your versatility. Having a great portfolio can greatly increase your chances of landing an internship.

We have to develop a portfolio that showcases our social media work, including campaigns, content calendars, and analytics reports. Share our portfolio on platforms like Behance or LinkedIn.

Networking is one of the most important things you can do. You never know where a connection can take you. LinkedIn is a great place to start. Don’t be afraid to reach out to people and ask questions. Taking initiative and connecting with people who have similar interests can lead to future jobs or recommendations. Build relationships with people now— you can learn, get ideas, grow in your career, learn about a new industry, etc. In the future, connections can only help you.

In your free time, learn as many tools as you possibly can. Especially in this industry, things are blending together and many people can film, edit, design, write, etc. all by themselves. Learning a new platform is as easy as going on TikTok or YouTube and finding a tutorial. Having these skills can be the small advantage that gives you the job.

A little etiquette goes a long way. I'm very big on following up with a small thank you to show people their time is valued even after a meeting.

We have to Create a strong online presence to Ensure our social media profiles are professional and consistent with our personal brand.
