The search for an internship continues. This week was all about sending out applications. I applied to as many positions as I could, tweaking my resume and cover letters for each one. Every application felt like a step closer, even if it meant more waiting. Some companies got back to me quickly with automated responses, and others didn’t reply at all. The waiting was tough, but I stayed hopeful.

One internship stuck out to me the most on the COMD Communication Design Internship Coordination Site, which was Calling All Graphics, especially since in the description, this was noted, “Must have good design skills for interactive menus, flyers, signage, and more.” I sent out an email saying, “I hear you are searching for interns who are both creative and detail-oriented.” and that I myself have designed a menu website before and have worked with a previous restaurant owner to design merchandise for said restaurant. Hopes were high when clicking send and I was ready to hone these skills, take them to the next level, meet new people, and make connections regardless if the internship was paid or unpaid, which in my case unpaid.
