I know you made this video 3 years ago and it still speaks a lot today! I’m totally with you on the part you said “going into entertainment industry with no family in the industry” I can relate to that! I hope and pray everyone that’s watching this gets their internship and position in the entertainment industry 🙏🏽

I like it, no secrets, no magical tips, just utilizing every resource within your power!

these are amazing tips love thank you! love your go-getter attitude

thank you!!!!! you give me hope, i will trust the process!!!!

You a real one for posting this! I'm graduating this year and I needed every piece of advice you gave in this video! Thank you!

Stay positive! Get creative but most important stay sane. Look into free certificate courses, start a blog, make a portfolio, outline a business plan, connect with people on LinkedIn. But most importantly, knows okay to not do anything right now. Embrace the pace of the world. Whatever that looks like for you. Good luck!

Hi Onika! Your video is very informative! I am a freshman in college and in my first year looking to intern at HBO, MTV, Viacom etc to be in the film/documentary industry. However I have no experience in the fields on paper. The only thing I have to show is the content of my photography, high school record and maybe my first semester GPA. I want to get in touch with someone works at HBO or one these big media companies but I don’t even know where to start. I want to apply today but I don’t want my application to go into a blackhole because I don’t meet the criteria. If you have advice for me or could point me somewhere viable I could start I would appreciate it!

What are your thoughts on someone not in school currently but in an ARTS internship and going on 5 years of journalism experience? I have interviewed a lot of celebs and worked as a Production Assistant

This video was so helpful, What advice do you have for freshmen, and when did you get your first internship?

@OhNeeksTV

I'm glad you found it helpful. I got my first internship my rising year of junior year. I would say to apply early and get involved in extracurricular activities!

Do you have advice for someone who has only done one internship that was not related to what they want to do? I’m a poli sci major but I want to work in media/entertainment and I’m about to go in my senior year august 2021

Thank you so much for this video! I am a current first year student, and am searching for an internship, but they only prefer Juniors or Seniors! It’s honestly hard because I desire to get as much experience as possible, do you have any advice on applying for internships as a freshman in college? Or what were you doing as a freshman that helped set a foundation for where you are now?

@OhNeeksTV

I got a later start and had my first internship as a riding junior. Just due to most of the programs I was interested in being for that level in higher. Also due to location of my school. Get involved in extra curriculars for sure. I had part time admin campus job also. With office experience + extra curriculars in desires field, you will be a strong candidate even with no prior internship experience.

Hey guys! I also do resumes as a side hustle. if anyone is interested in getting theirs done, reach out! - Onika

I probably applied to around 10-15 for the summer going into my junior year, if I remember correctly. The first summer after college I just worked at a salad/soup store. The first internship will always feel like the hardest to get, then it gets easier after that! Apply to whatever interests you or what you would like to learn more about. good luck!!

I would say don't focus on an exact major. Pick something you genuinely like and find a way to integrate into the company. Every company needs IT, Finance, Marketing, Business Affairs, etc. Even top media companies. However, a lot of people interested in creative departments sometimes go into film, journalism, communications etc.
