Brigid Rypien - Sales & Marketing Intern (The Grove Hotel)

Pre-Workout

I love fitness & health. I GET Social Media. I am passionate about becoming part of the Bodybuilding.com team.

Warm-Up

Let's go. This resume format is a little different, especially the cheesey subheadings. It's only taken me 22 years of life and four years of college to realize-it’s OKAY to be different. Doing things differently means making boring things better. Doing things differently gets people to like you. Doing things differently for Social Media means standing out on a feed full of information. Hopefully this resume stands out in a stack.

Bodybuilding.com changed my life. I graduated high school in 2012 and needed a change. Bodybuilding.com has been my bible for the past 4 years. I lost 35 pounds and gained something that doesn't show up on the scale-confidence.

This May I am finishing school at Boise State, I will have a degree in General Business Management. School taught me a lot, but my internships taught me more. This resume mainly points out my experience as a Marketing Intern at The Grove Hotel. They gave a college student a lot of responsibility to help manage their social media presence-for that I am pretty grateful. I learned that social media isn't easy, but that's what makes it fun. Everyday is a challenge to be the best face of the company you can be. But, it's a little bit easier when you really, really like the company's face.
