P3.instances[0].transcript.parse_transcript_data({"transcript":"So I'm an intern at Betts Recruiting. We're a boutique recruiting firm. And we place candidates who are looking for sales and marketing roles at tech start-ups in the Bay area. No day is typical, I have to say. But usually I'll come in, get set up on my computer. And I handle inbounds. And basically what that means is that when people apply to try to work with our company, I will take a look at their resume, and see if they're a good fit with us. So what we usually look for is a person who has a background in tech companies, and has some good experience in sales or marketing. Is an energetic and positive candidate, who's looking for the right type of role with the companies that we work for. I actually am a Media and Journalism major, so it's not really something that I'm specifically focusing on in my classes. But I was actually looking for internships on LinkedIn. It's a really good tool. I would recommend signing up for a LinkedIn profile, if you don't already have an account. It's a great source, that a lot of companies look for, if you don't already have one. And I uploaded my resume and applied through LinkedIn, and got the internship through there. I've learned so much. I feel like I learn something new every day. Like I said before, no day is the same. There's not a typical day in the office. But I think that one thing to keep in mind is that you always need to be willing to engage in whatever task's necessary to get the job done. So I definitely help my boss out with whatever she needs. Sometimes that means helping her handle emails, or pick up the phone. So definitely just be positive. Keep a positive attitude. And I'd be a very motivated and hard working person.
