Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission

Marketing/ PR Intern

May - August 2022 • Charleston, SC

What I liked

The work culture at CCPRC is one of the greatest environments I’ve worked in. Coworkers are kind and want to give their interns an engaging and enriching experience. My role on the marketing team sent me all across Charleston to do photography in all their parks. I got great experience running numbers in the office and building content in the parks. 10/10 Internship

What I wish was different

I think I could’ve been just as productive working fewer hours in the office.

Advice

Be proactive, be creative, and use the influence they give you. Definitely take advantage of the perks of the job! Free admission to the parks, plantations, state aquarium and more attractions across Charleston.

Public Relations/Marketing Intern

May - August 2020 • Charleston, SC

What I liked

Great work environment, everybody works well together and is willing to help each other out. I had the opportunity to work on numerous projects, many of them regarding different skills/jobs. I felt like it was a great, all-encompassing experience that gave me a diverse range of experiences.

What I wish was different

I wish I would have been in the office the whole time. COVID affected the internship by forcing people out of their offices for a while. Even once people were allowed back in the office, we only did so on a few days per week, and the entire marketing department was never all in on the same day.

Advice

Say yes to all assignments mentioned to you. You don't know what will be enjoyable until you try, so why not try as many projects as possible. Work hard and don't be scared to say yes, even if you don't think you know what to do (people are usually willing to help).
