I held a part-time internship position for almost two years where I worked on everything from marketing to IT at a startup.
It was an amazing experience in learning how to use technology, such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, SEO, database design, and so much more. However, most of my work was just that, learning. Due to the nature of the company and other factors, I did not have much of a chance to actually run things like Google Ads, implement the database, etc.
As such, I do not have much concrete to show for it when it comes to finished products, but I have pages and pages of work, planning and drafts of the products. Thus, when applying for and interviewing for positions, how do I state in my application materials and interview that I did not get a chance to finish most of my projects?
For instance, if I am applying for positions in social media marketing, they may ask how many followers on Facebook I have when most of my work on that front was analyzing how to attain Facebook followers rather than implementing that work. Or they may check after the interview or after reading my cover letter.
However, perhaps I should not mention that I did not have a chance to complete the projects? Or should I tell them that if they ask a question like the aforementioned one?

You were a part time intern, so no one expects much from you, let alone finished products.
Just outline the areas you were involved with and go into more detail if asked. Target jobs where your training is an asset in terms of the job description.
