At Vita Student, we love creating moments that help our residents grow, both personally and professionally. This month, we hosted our Social Media Career Workshop in collaboration with The Social Game, a consultancy and training company, backed by a leading social media agency and led by digital marketing and social media experts.
The session brought together students curious to dive deeper into the world behind the posts, reels, trends, and strategies that make social media tick. Our workshop gave a glimpse into how the industry works. Attendees included aspiring content creators, data analysts, strategists and other creatives.
What the Workshop Covered
The Social Media Career Workshop wasn’t your typical sit-and-listen session. It was packed with real talk, insider tips, and practical advice for anyone curious about how social media careers actually work. Here’s an insight into the areas that the session covered:
✨ CV & Interview Tips
Super useful advice on what actually catches a recruiter’s eye, how to avoid the usual CV slip-ups, and how to stand out when applying for social media roles.
✨ Exploring Job Roles
Content creator, data analyst, strategist, community manager—students got a fun, clear breakdown of just how many different paths exist in this fast-moving industry.
✨ Paths Into the Industry
Experts shared the real ways people get started: internships, freelance gigs, passion projects, and even building your own digital footprint from scratch.
✨ Gaining Real Experience
From student-led projects to brand collabs, residents learned easy, practical ways to start building a portfolio right now even without prior experience.
✨ A Day in the Life
A behind-the-scenes look at what different social media teams actually do day to day (spoiler: it’s more than just posting pretty pictures!).
