Student Success Stories

This week’s success story: Erin Cogburn

“I am currently completing a social media internship for LB Floral, a local specialty florist (www.lbfloral.com). I assist in writing LB Floral's blog, managing the social media platforms, creating marketing material and managing the website's images. I manage photo material and keep all of that data organized. I have loved working for this company and its creative atmosphere. Working for a small company has allowed me to learn a lot more about how a small business runs on a daily basis and all of the details necessary to be successful. I found the internship through Hire-A-Vol which was the main assistance. In the past I've used the resume critique service, although not right before this particular internship. I also took the course the Center for Career Development offers a few years ago, which really helped me find the career direction I wanted to focus on.” – Erin C.
