"First of all, I would like to start out by thanking Jessica for the wonderful opportunity to work with her. She is an amazing mentor and leader! Just like we had discussed in the very beginning of our contract, we had follow-up chats every other week. From there, we were able to talk about the last few weeks and how everything is going. She ALWAYS had answers to questions and was very flexible in terms of content. Even though she had outlines for each of the blog issues, she was very understanding and cognizant of the fact that not all of the social media platforms are the same. Therefore, trying to find information and certain stats for Instagram was easier than trying to find that same information for Reddit.

Working with Jessica, all it takes is a quick message through Asana or a text to let her know what the issue is. She is very quick to respond to any questions, comments, or concerns that may come about which I found very comforting. It’s tough to work with someone who has a lack of communication, but with Jessica, this wasn’t the case at all. Something I am personally grateful for. Working for SocialSpark Pro was a SUPER interesting time. I say this because I’ve never dived as deep into any social media as I had to working here. I mean, there was no reason for me to. I was just a user. Now, being able to work here has allowed me to not only familiarize myself with the blogs I was writing, but I was also able to look onto the other blogs written by other apprentices. There is a lot that the various social media platforms have to offer businesses and I think SSP is a great place to learn about them all. It is very concise, to the point, and not overwhelming at all. The blogs are all very good lengths and cover a variety of topics that has the ability to make someone entirely unfamiliar with a platform seem like a veteran user.

I’m so glad I had the opportunity to work for Jessica and SocialSpark Pro. As the world continues to advance, more and more business and organizations will realize that social media marketing is becoming the new way to reach their audience. Seeing as in my short term I’d like to pursue a career in marketing, I think having social media marketing skills is essential and will help put me ahead of the competition. I cannot recommend apprenticing with Jessica enough. She’s great and has a lot of knowledge about her industry. However, what stood out most to me was that she is very flexible and open to new ideas. She was also very open to giving me opportunities to do more than just blog creation! Unfortunately, I was bogged down with a lot of work, so I didn’t get to take advantage of this opportunity. But she’s super willing to teach and educate me on whatever aspect of marketing that she had to offer. So, if you are looking for a place where you can learn and grow in a friendly environment that isn’t rigid, SocialSpark Pro is definitely a place where you want to be."
