What were your main duties and responsibilities during the course of your internship?

As a marketing and events intern I was responsible for editing and sending out the weekly newsletter to subscribers. I also updated the ‘Event’s Directory’ on the website with the latest events going on in the city. The newspaper was keen on interacting with its niche of ex-pat readers so I helped to organise the monthly photo competition and also pub quizzes and found sponsors for prizes. A large Underground Market was also organised and I was responsible for communicating with the independent food and artisan vendors as well as searching for entertainment acts. It was also my role to promote events and competitions though social media. I also helped with a special task of translating subtitles of a Guatemalan film ‘Iximulew Tierra Revuelta’ from Spanish to English.

What would you say was your biggest achievement over the course of your internship?

The internship has given me a lot of confidence to try new things and look further into a career abroad where I will be able to utilise my language skills.
