-: As an undergrad it is important
to get a variety of experiences,
whether you're doing internships in different roles
or just trying out different things
because you never know what perfect blend
of experiences will come together for the position.
But for me the arts background has been really helpful.
But I think from a marketing perspective
it would be really important to know how to do social media.
I mean, social media's important
in any marketing role but especially for this one.
We do a lot of outreach for our customers
so having that background and also
just understanding the different programs.
So we use CrowdRiff, we use Sprout Social.
Having those different computer-based
backgrounds is important.
We have a public affairs internship.
Every department has an internship at the airport.
If you were interested in working at the airport
in any capacity I highly suggest it
because it is a very different environment.
No matter what background you have
if you've never worked at an airport
you can't be fully prepared for working at an airport.
It is just that different.
So getting that experience in whatever way you can
would be really important.
Even working for an airline would be totally different
than working for an airport authority
just because we actually take care of the grounds itself
and operations, security, there's just so many layers to it.
