- [00:00:00.170]Hi my name is Zee Chiweshe. I'm from Lincoln, Nebraska
- [00:00:03.199]I'm a senior here at the University of Lincoln Nebraska and the best way I'd
- [00:00:08.189]advise for students to go look for internships is to basically keep an open
- [00:00:11.929]eye and an open ear
- [00:00:13.670]because there's always a buzz around the j-school here with teachers who have
- [00:00:17.730]great advice on where
- [00:00:19.270]you can find listings there's also just listings all around throughout the
- [00:00:23.060]college
- [00:00:23.689]I joined the College of Journalism and Mass Communications my sophomore year
- [00:00:28.609]spring semester I originally started out in the College of Arts and Sciences as a
- [00:00:32.009]Psych major. That first semester when I joined in the spring
- [00:00:35.880]the previous rep for Universal Pictures was getting ready to graduate
- [00:00:40.250]at the beginning of May and
- [00:00:43.290]yes she just did an email blast on a the college journalism website
- [00:00:47.820]just announcing that she is going to be graduating and she'll be looking for a
- [00:00:51.640]replacement representative
- [00:00:53.199]and on just kinda through the word and word of mouth
- [00:00:58.079]of Amy Struthers she said Zee I think you'd be a great
- [00:01:01.579]a candidate for this position and initially I was kinda hesitant just
- [00:01:06.119]because
- [00:01:06.720]I had no prior experience I was fresh from being a psych major
- [00:01:11.510]but yeah Amy Struthers really encouraged me you know the best the worst that
- [00:01:15.780]could happen is you hear a no
- [00:01:17.509]yeah so I went in submitted my application
- [00:01:21.580]long story short, the previous rep
- [00:01:25.229]she gathered that top 10 resumes that she collected
- [00:01:29.659]from all the students here in the journalism college and then she sent
- [00:01:32.890]that to her bosses out in
- [00:01:34.740]LA and New York and of the top batches of
- [00:01:38.700]resumes my resume was chosen and then
- [00:01:42.250]a few weeks later at 10:30 I believe
- [00:01:45.540]in the middle of the night I got a phone call from an unknown number and then
- [00:01:49.310]it was Addy telling me that I'd been selected as a position
- [00:01:52.790]for the new rep for Universal Pictures
