Looking to get hired as a social media intern? If you love engaging and evangelizing online, you can turn your skills into a resume worthy social media internship or part-time job.

Here's how to go from playing with your personal accounts to managing professional online profiles:

Put Yourself Out There – As a social media intern, your social media profiles are just as important as your resume. Double-check that your social media profiles are public so that employers can get an idea of your writing skills, your background, your following and your knowledge of various social media sites – just by browsing your activity online.

Keep Things Professional – If you're letting the world see your social media profiles, remember that your future employer can access what you post and upload. This is a good thing – you have the opportunity to "wow" a potential employer even before the interview. But, you have to remember to keep things professional; otherwise your openness could backfire. If you have questionable content online it might be time to do some online spring-cleaning.

Stay Up-to-Date – There's nothing worse than a neglected profile, especially if a potential employer is viewing it. To ensure that you haven't overlooked any of your social media accounts, quickly "Google" your name and see what pops up. If there are accounts that you've forgotten about, evaluate whether or not they need to be deleted or brought up-to-date.

Offer Suggestions – Social media internships are extremely popular and normally offer a lot of flexibility in terms of hours and location. Because of these benefits, competition is stiff for social media internships. Outshine your competition by doing your homework. In your cover letter, offer a few suggestions on how you would improve social media strategy for the company where you're applying. By giving a few quick ideas and insights, you've shown that you've done your homework, you know how to identify new opportunities and that you're not afraid to pitch new ideas.
