Continuing from where I left off in my other entry about anxiously waiting for more details on the internship opportunity. I have come to find out good news. The company Firebooks is looking for an intern and there’s no pay. At this point I’m not upset because I can really use it. They are a startup social media company that is basically the Facebook for firefighters. Firebooks will need the whole brand identity, which is perfect because it’s something I love to do.
My friend has given me the email of one of the two owners of the company to contact him to send my portfolio and resume. Good thing that I took portfolio class last semester so I had that already done. I made sure to get home early that day and write up that email or someone else might snag up the opportunity. I was nervous to actually send out the email because I wasn’t sure what to write and when I did I thought it wasn’t good, so did a lot of research in what to write in the email. I felt better of myself after that. Now I just hoped my work was good enough for them to take me on board and be part of the team.
I waited a couple of days for a reply back and sure enough I got one. I was nervous to click open the email so I prepared myself for the worse. Luckily enough it was nothing, but good news. Mr. Rocco Miller wanted to interview for the position. We set a day for the interview. The day finally comes where I meet my supervisor in person. The interview goes well and tells me a little more in depth of who they are and what they’d like to accomplish. The only downfall was that they have yet to establish an office space so we would meet in Long Island, which one of his other businesses is located.
