For my role within the company, I’ll be joining as a Design Intern. I will be specifically working with the president of the company who was formerly the Director of Sales and Marketing before moving up to their new role. I selected this role after weighing my options as to which position would be best suited to me at this current time when it comes to skill level and availability. Another key reason I chose this position was because I felt that I aligned with the company’s work culture and team. The process by which I received this position involved an online Zoom interview, during which I only interviewed with one person for this position. The person I interviewed with was in fact the president and the person I’ll be working closely with on projects. The time between the interview itself and the job offer was rather short, I ended up getting the offer about 1 to 2 days later. I did request some time to thoroughly think through my decision because at the time I still had a few interviews left to fulfill. After my other interviews and offers, I was able to come to a decision and contacted the interviewer to let them know I wanted to accept the offer.
Some of the questions I was asked during the interview were pretty standard of course. For example, “What interested me in the role at the company?”, “What do I expect to learn?”, “What programs I am familiar with/feel comfortable with?”, etc.
To my current knowledge, my responsibilities in the role will be centered around collaborating on developing and enhancing the company’s website, assisting with marketing assets such as social media graphics, presentations, etc. I will also be conducting research on trends and competitors to help inform marketing/branding strategies and assisting in creating fresh ideas, and branding initiatives. I’m excited about this role, and I hope to accomplish all of this and more if possible to contribute to the team and the company.
