TTFN AAM

1. As my internship is coming to a close, I’d say overall, I had a fun experience! I learned a lot working within a music management company, such as Advanced Alternative Media, and was able to use social media in more ways than just tweeting gifs and live tweeting Dancing With the Stars. As for a future with the company or industry, I think it’s not really something I’d like to pursue. I feel like i’d want to pursue more of the entertainment and music reporting (ex: Access Hollywood-esque/Billboard) but I know it’s a competitive field, as well. It was a great experience though, and learning about the different clients who work with the artists I’d like to write or work alongside can serve as a benefit too.
2. The most important thing I learned from this experience was to be open and not be afraid to ask questions. I’m typically the quiet type, and I’d rarely ask questions unless it’s absolutely necessary. Interning with AAM forced me to ask questions since we were in charge of specific clients. My supervisors also made sure I asked questions when needed and were very welcoming to answer any questions whether it was to get to know about what they do, who they are, and learn the company/clients/tasks.
3. In my opinion there wasn’t much networking I can do. Most of the clients were interacted with during the phone, but I did network with people working at the office (it turns out the President of the Company is related to the former owners of Crumbs Bake Shop, which is where I’ve been working part-time for 3 1/2 years!) I do wish that I was able to meet some of the clients, it would've been a lot better networking-wise especially since they work with artists I enjoy listening to. 
4. Although it’s something I don’t want to pursue, if a student at QC is interested in working with a music management company, I’d 100% recommend it! I was very lucky I was able to get an internship with them, and I’ll definitely take my experiences from AAM and bring it to my future endeavors (especially asking questions!). If anyone at QC does get an internship, I can guarantee they’ll have fun and definitely learn a lot interning with AAM.
