While I was a student at Syracuse University, I used Hootsuite daily at my internships. I interned at the local paper during a time when there was a shift from print to digital and I used my Hootsuite skills to help pioneer that shift. Knowing the basics of SEO and content curation helped me prepare a top-notch LinkedIn profile to help me in my job search.
