Before you start reading this, check your social media! Do you connect with your peers? Do you follow your school and department social media accounts? Have you joined their facebook group?
The reason behind this questions lies in the fact that I got my internship through my instagram! YES! I know it is hard to believe but that is how I got my first internship.
I was checking my instagram, as I always do… It was during quarantine and I saw a COMD post. The place where I am currently doing my internship was looking for interns for the fall semester. I had nothing to lose so I applied to the internship without thinking twice. I also saw this as an opportunity to practice my skills and knowledge as a designer.
I encourage you to follow your school social media accounts, they are constantly posting events and job opportunities!
