I am working as a video editor and motion designer at this educational institution. My supervisor is the director of the office. I decided to work with him because of my interest in video production and like to explore more hands-on experiences from video preproduction to production to post-production. Also, I wish to learn how to incorporate motion graphics into videos.
Because the other internship took a lengthier process time, my internship mentor recommended this job position to me. I immediately sent out my resume and cover letter along with a warm greeting and received the invitation to an in-person interview four days later.
Before the interview, I reassured the office address and time with my supervisor. The interview was held between my supervisor and me. During the interview, I first introduced myself from my major to design focus to work experience. Then he went through my online portfolio together and asked about the background of my works: why did you choose this topic as your senior project? What does your design process look like? Is there a specific conflict during the design process? And what do you like to do besides school projects?
I answered all his questions and also watched some of the videos that I made in my free time. I showed my passion for the subject and he seems to like our conversation. That’s how I got the offer and get assigned to my first project right after the interview.
