I Survived My First Week!

If you read our blog, like us on FaceBook or follow us on Twitter, you know that I am new to the Storage Solutions team, and as of today, I have officially been here for one whole week!

What a week it has been…

I’ve been introduced to beams, uprights, wire decking and so much more.  I have learned a lot, but I still have a way to go. Not only am I new to SSI, I am new to the material handling industry; my previous experience being in law!

I am going to compare it to the first day of second grade in a foreign, non-English speaking country (a little dramatic, but bare with me).  You’re not really sure what to expect since your first two years of schooling were spent in an English speaking country. You rocked the alphabet and passed kindergarten (graduated college, got a degree), you made it through first grade and are a strong reader (got your first job and gained some useful experience), and then you arrive at second grade in a FOREIGN COUNTRY (new job, new industry).  You have a decent understanding of how a classroom works and being a strong reader is helpful, but learning a new language is hard!

You have amazing classmates and a patient teacher that are there to help make the transition as smooth as possible. They offer you quick tips on learning the new language and pass along resources that make the new classroom less intimidating.

That is exactly what it has been like for me at Storage Solutions.  The other employees have been so welcoming and helpful; believe me, I’ve had loads of questions!

Even after a week, I know my decision to come to Storage Solutions was the right one.  I am so fortunate to be surrounded by kind, hard working people, and have a strong company at the base of it all.

To Be An Intern, Or Not To Be… That Is The Question

Some people find it entertaining when I explain to them what my job entails.  More often than not, it is difficult for them to imagine how one could possibly talk about the material handling industry, pallet rack, shelving and the like through social media.  “Are other people in your industry even USING social media?” Pshhh… OF COURSE THEY ARE!  In this day and age, most people are using social media in some way, shape or form.  Whether it’s reading a blog post or newsletter sent out through an email marketing campaign or asking around on Twitter about where one can find more information on safety equipment and affordable solutions, people are talking.

That’s what makes my job so fun.  And it’s why I am so excited about our search to find the next Marketing/Social Media intern.  As a former Storage Solutions marketing intern myself, I can tell you first hand that it is one good gig.  Instead of talking about the exact same things everyone else is, this position is about taking what you have learned in school or through your own social media usage and applying it to a less conventional topic.  So…I have put together a list of the top 3 reasons you (or someone you know) should apply to be an intern this fall.

THREE REASONS YOU (OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW) SHOULD APPLY TO BE A STORAGE SOLUTIONS INTERN

_____

1.  You will have the opportunity to help develop a comprehensive social media plan using Facebook, Twitter, Linked In and blogging to talk about one of the nation’s leading material handling companies.

2.  You will learn the do’s, don’ts, how’s and why’s of using social media and marketing in an industry that is still new to this digital marketing age.

3.  You will get to work with two fabulous other marketers (if I may say so myself) who have experience in marketing within multiple industries and love to explore new ideas and marketing opportunities!

So if you or someone you know may be interested in applying, check out our job description and send us your resume!  Our schedule is flexible and the experience is great!
