I liked how closely I got to work with the directors and establish connections with them. I also loved the creative aspect of filming and editing videos, as well as having the option of going in person to the actual events.
What I wish was different
I wish I was able to put in a little more input creatively and be more on the designing side, but overall I loved creating videos and editing them in different ways with various clips.
Advice
My biggest advice is definitely time management and priorities. In the beginning, I would definitely ask for a schedule or what you would be doing on a day-to-day basis. This way, you can plan where it fits in your schedule and dedicate specific time to it.

Web Development Intern
June - September 2019 • New York City, NY
What I liked
People in Schneps Media are so friendly and helpful. My supervisors always guide me patiently and we became good friends. I learned a lot of useful skills of web development, both front-end and back-end, and really had a great experience in Schneps.
What I wish was different
I wish that I could had more opportunities to interact with people from other teams such as HR, Editorial, Marketing teams to learn more about how teams cooperate with each other in a company.
Advice
Do not be afraid of asking for help. Interns are not expected to know everything. Asking questions will show your eagerness to learn and let your supervisor know what challenges and problems you may face. It can also bring a fresh perspective and some new ideas, which could be very helpful for your work.
