Hired: Camilla Juarez, Marketing Intern

Meet Camilla Juarez, Marketing Intern at Venn Technology. We ask her all the big questions every job applicant and new recruit needs to hear—from company culture to role-specific opportunities.

What do you like about your position so far?

What I like the most about my role is the creative portion of it. I love being able to create graphics for social media and edit videos. We have two podcasts, so being able to help with the production process for both has been really cool. I've always been a creative person, so I enjoy contributing with my skills and fine-tuning them as I go.

Do you feel welcomed by the team?

I'm definitely feeling welcomed by the team. It's the little things like walking past someone in the morning and being greeted with a smile and “good morning.” I like how friendly and talkative everyone is when I see them in the common areas of the office.

What do you think about the company culture?

I think the company culture is my favorite part so far. I mean, we have a yeti as our mascot. It's definitely fun to see him all around the office. Plus, the team is very welcoming. We have so much fun during team building events and roll call on Fridays.

Has anything surprised you since joining the team?

I was surprised to see Scott, Venn's founder and CEO, just hanging around the office. I never thought that I would ever really see him, much less be able to sit in on his podcast recordings. He also interviewed me, which is not something I thought would happen. I've really enjoyed being able to talk with him about my role and the company. Seeing the team collaborate so smoothly has also been surprising, and just cool in general.

Do you feel like you have the right resources to be successful?

I definitely feel like I have the resources to be successful here. I have all the swag and technology that I would need. I have a MacBook that I use for work and can take it home for days I work remotely. I also have access to a bunch of cool resources like Canva, Adobe Premiere, HubSpot, and more. I definitely feel like I was set up for success since day one here.

What motivates you to keep coming to work every day?

The biggest thing that motivates me to come to work is the people. I love the people on the marketing team, and being able to work together and ask on-the-spot questions is really nice. I also really like the side conversations I have with others in the office.

What are you hoping to accomplish in the next 30 days?

I want to accomplish and have more experience in video editing, especially since we have two podcasts. I would love to be able to help more in creating social clips and graphics. I also would like experience with our new website launch, and I'm excited to see what that looks like. 

Anything else you’d like to add?

I was definitely scared before coming here. This is my first internship, so I was nervous and not sure what to expect. After being here for 30 days, I can say that I'm so happy this was the place I chose. I have so many resources to help me be successful, the team I work with is super helpful, and I'm able to apply all the things that I've learned in my college classes.
