Places To Look For Internships, Jobs, & Freelance Gigs In Social Media

Hi friends!! I have a quick & easy blog post for you today on the best places to find social media internships, jobs, and freelance gigs.

Some are better and more reliable than others, so I put a * next to my FAVORITE source in each category for getting jobs. The great thing about social media jobs is that there are PLENTY. The bad news? There are usually tons of applicants for the good jobs because it is a saturated market.

Here are my tips for getting the job:

• Tailor your resumé and cover letter (which should be 1 page each and both should be sent as .pdfs) to the verbiage in the job listing
• To be quite honest, being “active on social media” doesn’t count as experience. If you don’t have experience, volunteer to do the social media accounts for a club at school or a non-profit to gain experience.
• Research the current voice and imagery that the brand currently uses on its social channels, and show that you did your research
• Include analytical statistics to prove that you improved the KPIs of your last social media job (ie. increased Facebook reach by 34% over first 6 months)
• After you apply, DM the brand on IG, Facebook, or Tweet at them on Twitter to let the know! Obviously someone in the social media department will read it, and they’ll be more likely to keep an eye out for your resumé.
