Through the training course, I was able to learn a lot of new things, such as job skills, youtube marketing, social media marketing, google workspace, ad management, networking, and other important aspects of digital marketing. I applied to Meta internship because I have an interest in digital marketing.. I wanted to know a bit more about it and I want to build practical experience to decide if I am suitable for the field. Through this internship, I can enhance my ablities and upgrade my skills which can help me grow. I believe this internship will be extremely useful because I get to learn many things and gain experience which will help me to explore this field and help me make the right decision for my future goals.
