USA/Syfy Alternative Programming & Production Intern

June - August 2019 • Los Angeles, CA

What I liked

I loved the opportunities available for networking with other executives on the USA/Syfy team. People often set aside over an hour of their day to brainstorm with me about potential career opportunities at NBC and share their personal experience navigating careers in entertainment. i found the work environment to be friendly, open, creative and exciting.

What I wish was different

I wish that I had received a long-term internship project for the summer. My team at USA/Syfy received a different number of interns than originally anticipated, which made spearheading an individualized project slightly difficult. Nonetheless, my co-intern and I were eager to tackle the assignment, and I would have loved to see that happen.

Advice

Definitely don't be afraid to challenge yourself and tackle assignments beyond your original internship description. If you hear executives talking about tasks at hand, from creative research to budget analysis, where you believe you can lend your skills, it doesn't hurt to ask at an appropriate time and see how you can assist. It's a great way to broader your skillset and gain a more comprehensive understanding of how projects come to live in entertainment.
