Life As A Promotional Marketing Intern With Rachel

hangad

The first time I entered headquarters was the day of my orientation. I’ve never worked in a building as big and grand as the McGraw Hill building so just walking through those doors was an overwhelming experience in itself. So much happened during my first week at SiriusXM. The highlight definitely has to be meeting [...]

I am not what you would call a “cool customer” all the time.  The anticipation of a moment can trigger anxiety for me quite easily, usually bring on a feeling of immense dread.  As I woke up around 9 am on the Friday September 14th and began getting ready for my first day at SiriusXM [...]

Final Thoughts with Interactive Editorial Intern Nicole

Really though, how is this my final journal already? When I started my internship at SiriusXM back in June, I’m sure that I didn’t know how quickly it would fly by. Looking back, though, I realize that I’ve had plenty of chances to try different things and learn skills that I will certainly bring into [...]

Final Thoughts with Music Programming Intern Allie

One of the slogans for the SiriusXM internship program is, “Get experience, not coffee.” Having been here as a music programming intern for the past eleven weeks, I can attest to the truth of that statement. While any internship comes with some tasks like data entry, I have gained so much valuable experience during my [...]

Final Thoughts with Sports Programming Intern Pete

At the midway point of my internship at SiriusXM, I wrote that my time here has been more than I ever could have expected. Somehow, it only continued to get better, as I have had a learning experience unmatched by anything in my working life. For me, there were two main takeaways from my internship [...]

Final Thoughts with Music Production Intern Alex

As my internship is winding down for the next couple of days, I find myself quite sad that one of the best Summers I have had is coming to an end as well.  I had such a great experience being at SiriusXM this Summer, and have learned a plethora of things while under the supervision [...]

Final Thoughts with Music Production Intern Corey

Interning at SiriusXM has been a blast.  It’s hard to believe my time here is almost up.  I never imagined my first internship being so helpful in exposing me to the real working world.  Before this experience, I’ll admit that the thought of transitioning from school to a career was daunting.  After working here, I now [...]

Final Thoughts with Talk Programming Intern Meghann

I came into this internship blind to the radio world. On day one of the internship, I was so intimidated of the basics that make up radio. I had never edited in Adobe Audition, nor had I worked on script writing before. Now, it seems so silly to have ever been nervous of failing at [...]

First Week with Talk Programming Intern Meghann

With the fourth week of the internship starting, it has started to remind me how far I’ve come since the first week. I remember being terrified and overwhelmed with fear over certain aspects of the expected duties. Fortunately, with a lot of friendly and helpful people along the way, the journey so far has been [...]

Final Thoughts with Talk Programming Intern Jasmine

The past couple weeks of my internship have been great! I have been learning so many new things about Talk Programming and Music Programming. I have been charged with the task of audio editing segments, such as bonus calls and “Call of the Day” for the Dr. Laura Show podcast. I have assisted with some [...]
