Last week we started the exciting piece covering our intern’s reflection on their time so far at Dunlap Marketing. Of course, we understand that one part would simply not be enough to cover the fun Q&A with our fantastic group of interns, so here we present the second part…

What is your favorite thing about working at Dunlap?

“My favorite thing about working at Dunlap Marketing is the breakout sessions that we have once a week. Some of my favorite topics have been professionalism and budgeting. These two concepts are so important because they will both be key in ensuring our success in the real world after college, but also can be carried over to my personal life!” Grace Mosby, The University of Texas at Austin, Business Major

“I have absolutely loved gaining work experience from a very intellectual leadership team. They have created a great culture and friendly work environment here at Dunlap Marketing. I really look forward to coming to the office every day and learning more from them.” Audrey Tuttle, Texas Tech University, Marketing

How has your experience been working with the leadership team at Dunlap?

“Kaitlin and Mike are both incredibly encouraging, which has helped me to feel comfortable and has been really motivating! Their care for the work and for the people at Dunlap Marketing is contagious.” Allison Holleb, Washington University in St. Louis, Psychological and Brain Sciences/Political Science

“Mike and Kaitlin have been so great to work with, they are very helpful and accommodating. Any time I have a question, they are quick to help, and are great with keeping me busy and challenged with my work. I am so grateful for the opportunity they gave me.” Grant Haney, Texas A&M University, Finance

Is there anything that you have learned here that will be beneficial in your future within the business world? If so, what is it?

“At Dunlap, I have learned a lot about setting individual and realistic professional goals for both short and long periods of time. I think this will help me a lot in the business world by preparing me to set expectations for myself and others that are attainable and push me to work harder at the same time.” Addi Barrett, Belmont University, Commercial Music/Songwriting

“The biggest thing that I have learned at Dunlap Marketing is the importance of continually seeking out opportunities to learn from those around you, whether it’s from people within your own organization or from people you meet through networking!” Allison Holleb, Washington University in St. Louis, Psychological and Brain Sciences/Political Science

These students learn a lot within the classrooms of their renown universities, but there is only so much you can learn in the classroom setting. It takes hands on experience in the work force to truly grasp the knowledge of the corporate world. The Dunlap Marketing team thoroughly enjoys watching this bright group of students excel at putting their classroom knowledge to the test in real-life work experiences. We are proud to be part of our interns continued growth and anxiously await to see the impact they will have on the business world.

The future of the business world ultimately lies within the hands of our current generation of college students, and Dunlap Marketing is doing its part in guiding these individuals to a successful future. Our summer internship program has created an opportunity for these ambitious individuals to work first hand with the leadership team and staff at Dunlap Marketing. The five-year program is moving into its second month of operation this summer, and these five college students could not be happier to continue getting their feet wet within the field.

Our interns have built upon their prior knowledge of business and have gained the skills that are critical to have in your tool box before taking the big step of earning a job after college. They have gained experience in cold calling, lead generation, telemarketing, marketing through social media, data research, B2B operations, and much more. Additionally, through the weekly breakout sessions with Mike Dunlap and Kaitlin Dunlap Cuevas, the interns have gained expertise on the ins and outs of being successful in the work force.

Of course, these statements can only be backed with a fun Q&A with the interns…

“Making phone calls to capture data, working with other employees on campaigns, acquiring new clients for businesses.” Grant Haney, Texas A&M University, Finance

My other work responsibility has allowed me to expand my creativity as it involves creating and scheduling all social media posts for the company and writing company articles.” Audrey Tuttle, Texas Tech University, Marketing

What skills have you developed while working at Dunlap?

“Through my internship at Dunlap Marketing, I have enhanced my communication skills through phone calls and learned how to be persistent when making sales calls.
