In late April, I was told to start searching for internships for the summer by one of my former professors at school. I had applied to a handful of them on indeed.com, I was also offered a position at a non-profit organization, but most of them never reached out to me. However, I was contacted by a Statista representative that had reviewed my application and requested my portfolio. It was a simple process and the representative I spoke with was really nice. He wasn’t intimidating in looks and speech. Instead, he was relaxed and casual like most of the employees at Statista. Some of the questions they asked included my experience as a Graphic Designer, if I can work in a team, availability, and most importantly why I want to intern at Statista. The interview process went pretty great! I got the Graphic Design position after my interview once I got home. I was pretty excited!
As a graphic design intern, my responsibilities so far have been to help design infographs that will eventually be sent to Germany and one pagers for the Tech Department. Since I started about a month ago, I only got a small workload but that will soon change because changes to the New York office will occur.
