Zach Bokuniewicz Blog 2/27

Last week we had a guest lecturer, Zach Bokuniewicz. Zach explained his journey from where he started to where he is now. He spoke about his experiences within his internships and his key points in order to get the most of our own experiences. A big portion of his lecture was about his resume, his personality and how he’s used them in order to “step up” in his career. The design and use of color in his resume really represented his personality and his clean use of design. He had brought up a key point that I had experience myself in a previous internship, which was building good work relationships with your supervisors and coworkers. In 2014 I worked for Scripps Networks Interactive which caters to the Cooking Channel, HGTV, the Food Network, etc. It was not a graphic design internship, but I gained great experience and some even better references. I was hired for a three month internship, but since I had done such a great job and had great work relationships with my supervisors and coworkers, that I was kept on for an additional three months. To this day, I still use my two supervisors as references when applying to new jobs, internships and programs. I took a lot away from what Zach had spoken to us about, but it was cool that I was able to relate on a personal level. I plan on using this same key point in my internship for this semester, among others points that were spoken about.
