Project Proposal and Interview

To start off my project, I interviewed the woman who manages social media for the company I used to work for, DelMoSports. When working to formulate questions, I turned to many of the ones we came up with as a class. For someone who has interest in being behind the platforms for an organization, I was not surprised to find that they had spreadsheets of schedules and posts already pre thought out. Rachel shared with me that a good post takes some planning and does not always come easily as it might on a personal account.

When asked for the hardest part of her job, she stated that working to find the perfect picture which can say more than a short caption was it. However, she works with the other members of the team to create fun and enticing captions. Word of advice, Work on creating a successful platform of your own because it will be much easier to find a job in social media!

I would like to create a strategy for my own account. I would like this account to be used to teach myself how to create things from original content. The pictures and posts would be from things I have experienced. I feel that I will be able to learn much more if I am doing this with a brand for myself. I would like to use this to bring to future employers on how I started this account on nothing and made it grow.

I have never had an account besides my own personal account, which is private. Therefore, I have nothing to truly show employers when wanting to apply to do their social media accounts. Since talking with Rachel, I understand that it is not an easy job, despite seeming so. We use social media daily, yet it is a new type of usage that will be presented.
