Unite LLC: Northampton, MA

My primary job responsibilities were helping to organize the layout of the store when new products arrived. I also managed some marketing strategies using social networks like Face book. Basically I gained experience in running a successful business. Over time I gained involvement with the website and the blog.

Overall, I would rate this internship as average. There were great supervisors and always good energy. My advice to students pursuing a field experience placement in the future would be to not let anything stop you from pursuing experience in something you believe isn't relevant. If you want to do it, then do it, and use the experience to better yourself.
