The Food Bank of Western Massachusetts; Hatfield, MA

Job Role:
  • Executed special events
  • Managed multiple databases
  • Assisted in marketing/fundraising/social networks
  • Helped to create and develop third-party events
  • Performed general office work
  • Researched as needed
My placement was excellent in all aspects and I would definitely recommend it to my peers. The only thing I would have changed was that I was on vacation during both of the events I helped plan, I would have loved to have gone to them.

Advice I would give to students searching for a field experience is to apply to anything that interests them even if they do not have any experience. I went in for the interview with no previous experience and my manager hired me because I told her that I am eager and quick to learn, as well as enthusiastic about the causes we would be working towards.
