Alyssa emphasizes the need to PRACTICE what role you're going into and think about what that industry is before applying to it. Her advice is: "Practice makes perfect." The more practice you do, the better off you'll be!

In every market Alyssa was in, something that she believes often gets lost in the social media world is that people are always trying to post what they believe is going to go viral and/or what is the most aesthetic for the company.

Key takeaway: You should want your social media posts to inspire somebody to either engage in a service, engage in an action, or buy a product. Each post should have a purpose!
