As an internship preference, I sought out opportunities that would make me feel like I’m making an impact towards improving lives and spreading awareness of world issues. My main source for finding internship opportunities was Chegg’s internship.com, which I found on the COMD Communication Design Internship Coordination Site.
I found a company called ‘100 For All’ there seeking a graphic designer for creating social media material for their upcoming events and activations.
After applying, I was surprised about the response I got about my portfolio work. The founder responded, “Hello Malcom, We truly appreciate your application and your design work is excellent. Let me know when you m ay have time to jump on a phone call (next week preferably).”
The phone interview went very well and I locked up the position. Already, I have received instruction on my first design project.
Stay tuned for the next post where I’ll detail how it went.
