I definitely consider myself to be a doer because I am not one to just sit around and let things happen, or in most cases, let things not happen. I always enjoy reading Lauren's blog so I am very happy to have her as a mentor. Thanks for the warm wishes! Thanks for the advice Melissa!

I had a rude awakening last spring when applying for internships. I applied for an internship to learn and get more experience after I had been interning at Moroch Partners for the past 7 months. The company sent me an email back 2 weeks later saying they were going with somebody who "had more experience." I was taken aback and thought - How in the world am I supposed to get more experience?!

Express your opinions, express them succinctly and without fear, and BAM! you're qualified. :) Each of us is learning, each and every day. If (and when) you ever find yourself in the company of someone who's referring to *themselves* as an "expert" (or any related term), just run screaming in the other direction. Who is an expert is for others to decide, and it's all subjective, anyway. So, welcome! Just by being here (and certainly having Lauren as your mentor/accomplice), you're doing great. And a terrific first post, by the way!

Your drive/passion plus your results can. I'm sure we all have different 'experts' in social media, or in any field. Someone I think is brilliant you might hate.
