My Experience

While I am no longer a Content Specialist, I truly did enjoy my time working with $99 Social. While I cannot disclose any specific details of my work, I really thought that this job was very flexible and that it was a great opportunity to learn more about a variety of different industries which actually expanded my knowledge base. I actually did this job for a little over a year during my fourth year of undergrad and it worked well with the workload I already had from my classes. One of the benefits of this job that I’ve heard many times is that it will take you to depths of the internet that you didn’t even know existed. This is very true. When you first start as a Content Specialist, you may get an account for an industry for which you may not know very well. After a bit of research, you will start to gain a greater appreciation for these fields and for how business and social media work together. The staff at the company is very supportive. You can reach out to them at any time with any issues or concerns you may have, and they were always very quick to respond to me whenever I would reach out about an account or with general questions.
