More Radio Disney

By -
So I have been working at Radio Disney for over a month now and I have learned a lot of random things. I have learned a lot about how a radio station works and just as much about Disney and its parners. I have learned what we can and cannot do with certain companies and it is really interesting to me as well as what companies we can work with, but only if no one knows it is Disney related. For example,we cannot do any thing with food so, for liability reasons. So I wear a gogurt shirt every Wed. at kiddieland to sample gogurt as well as jewel cupcakes. I also enjoy knowing about which other companies that we can work with but only in specific situations and are otherwise competetors. I also love to hear about the difference between a Disney entity vs a Disney property and the restrictions and benifits that come along with that difference when working with said friend/competetor companies. I cannot explain what else I have learned in anyway but as experience. I know I have learned a lot but at the same time if you ask me what I learned all I can say is "a lot". I did some data entry for a while to help them out and I learned a lot during this time too. Not throught the actual data entry but just from being in the office and hearing what goes on. Its hilarous how dirty their mouths are and awesome how quickly they can turn that off. It makes the job that much more entertaining. Working in a cubicle you can hear pretty much everyhting in the whole room. Therfore it is hilarious when you hear someone talking in the office during a stressful situation and then hear the "happy face" being put on when they get on the phone. Oh the joys of being a business. This was in a way a learnign experince on how to talk to people and deal with them in any situation. I also learned more random helpful tidbits of info from helping people in the office when I was done with my data entry or waiting for a computer ( we were doing some updating at the time). Overall I definately know how awesome and awesomely stressful it can be working for Radio Disney. i would not mind having a full-time job here because I love all the people working there as well as the good and bad other "stuff" that would be in any entertainment job. Now have new higher goals to acieve. We will see but I am pretty sure I am not giving up anytime soon. In fact my plans have just started.

Lisa, it sounds like you have learned a lot about politics and what it's like to work in the real world! I totally understand what you're saying when you can't completely enumerate everything you've learned - and you're right, it will come out in so many different ways in your future. I'm very happy for you, it sounds like you had a very intense experience and one that can be applied to many different places in the future! Congratulations and thank you for sharing your experiences!

Internship with Quinlan and Fabish Music Company

By -
 Hello, my name is Mikey Schelinski and over the summer, I interned at Quinlan and Fabish Music Company (Q&F)! Q&F is a music store that focuses on instrument rentals and repair. This company sells student, intermediate, and professional instruments. As a young musician, Q&F was the main place where I purchased all of my equipment and rented to own my first saxophone. When searching for internships, Q&F was certainly one of the places I was very interested in looking into. Having no previous connections, I emailed the company's "help" email account and asked who I could get in touch with to see how to apply for an internship. Within the day, I got a response saying they would love to have me. A few weeks later, I had a phone call with Marsha Orwig, the internship coordinator at Q&F. We talked about the different responsibilities as well as other day-to-day tasks I would be doing as an intern. I immediately felt very comfortable after this phone call an...

Internship at the Castle Theatre

By -
  Hi, my name is Maisy King and I interned at the Castle Theatre this past semester, spring 2023. During the day I worked in the box office selling tickets and a few times I distributed posters for upcoming shows around campus and other surrounding locations .  As the semester progressed, I began to work shows in the evening which was a lot of fun. The first two shows I shadowed Bri for but for the rest I got to do some other things. I got to work box office for shows, which was a lot busier in the evening, but I was als o able to get to learn how to do stagehands and sell the artist's merch for some. All of these aspects were new to me prior to interning here but I found them to be a lot of fun, I learned a lot, and it was interesting to see how different areas of the business and a live show funct ion. I really enjoyed my time here interning at the Castle Theatre and I will definitely use the skills that I learned here in my future career!

Intern at the Castle Theatre

By -
 Hello, my name is Satomi Radostits and I interned at the Castle Theatre this semester. The Castle Theatre is a live music venue that also hosts private events. Working at the Castle allowed me to use the knowledge I've obtained throughout the years and utilize it at this venue. During my time, I worked with Nicole and Jason the most often. I helped mostly in their Box Office, selling tickets during their day hours. This was an easy fit for me, as I had experience already working in a box office. With my prior experience, I found find similarities and differences between the three different types of ticket systems I have worked with, as well as seeing the pros and cons of them all. Apart from that, I also did some marketing work, updating the Bloomington-Normal website with all of the events that the Castle announced. I learned how to use Hive.co as well to set up emails and competitions for free tickets. I also got to help set up for some privet events, as well as updating their m...
