Intern Story: Content Writer at Creative Quills

Essex Interns is great, low-risk way to try something out for a short period. It adds to your CV, and you get paid to do it. I would recommend it to anyone.

Intern Story: Content Writer at Creative Quills, Colchester

If I could describe my internship at Creative Quills I would describe it as a phenomenal experience. It met my expectations and more. It was great to learn so much about marketing, how to utilise online tools for business and the optimisation of social media. It was a great experience and I learnt so much from it.

Intern Story: Media Assistant at Signals Media Ltd

Before my internship, the only job I had was a short stint at Domino’s about 6 years prior. I was very afraid of work to be honest and so I avoided getting a part-time job throughout my undergraduate degree, although I wish I had.
