Interns: Where Are They Now? - Amanda Dunfee


Our next Propulsion Media Labs former intern spotlight is on Amanda Dunfee.  Amanda interned with us from May 2009 to August 2009.

Amanda’s fondest memory during her internship was creating the final intern video.  She found it empowering to finally see all the skills she attained during her internship to come together in one project.  Amanda had this to say: “The creative freedom that was given during the project was really great. It really allowed all of the interns to rally together for a really memorable production. I couldn’t think of a better way to wrap up the summer!”

Today Amanda works as a Marketing Coordinator at Biztech, an Oracle Platinum Specialized Partner, in King of Prussia, PA. Biztech does full life cycle implementations and upgrades utilizing the Oracle applications as well as providing remote database and Business Intelligence services to their customers. As the Marketing Analyst, she works closely with their Sales Team to spread the word. 

Her advice to new interns, learned from long hours searching for a job she loved post-college, is to keep your head down and never give up.

That's great Amanda! Internships (both local and abroad) definitely give you that hands-on experience that many people lack when they are ready to graduate and get out into the working world. My company recently interviewed a former international intern and his advice was "You will only get out of the experience what you put in. My advice would be work hard, play harder and most importantly have fun." In case your interested in the whole interview: http://www.connect-123.com/blog/1615/alumni-interview-hugh-blaney/
