In Week 4, I found two job postings on Linkedin and submitted my Resume, cover letter, and Portfolio. The Company I applied to was Spence-Chapin, a licensed and non-profit adoption organization for any institutionalized foster children needing a loving family, providing counseling and therapy sessions to welcome children and their future families and how adoption can change the child’s future into a positive one. They are seeking a Graphic Design Intern who is willing to work on-site at 120 East 16th Street, near 14th Street Union Square in Manhattan, having experience in Adobe Creative Suite Software such as Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign to design templates for both digital and printed materials, able to work independently and collaboratively. After sending the Company a copy of my Resume, a PDF file of my Portfolio, and a link to my Portfolio Website provided with illustration and Graphic Design works. The Company thanks me for taking an interest in applying as a Graphic Designer for the Spence-Chapin. Still, I haven’t gotten an email from them yet about whether I meet their qualifications of two to three years of Graphic Design experience, such as being Proficient using Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and Indesign, being able to manage multiple projects and meet Deadlines, and Detail-Oriented with a commitment of producing quality work.
Meanwhile, the following application I applied was for “Calling All Graphics,” posted by Maria Gotay at the COMD Internship Coordination Site. Gotay sought creative and detail-oriented interns for flyers, brochures, signage, and more to develop solid visual and practical layout skills. Also, Interns must be Proficient in using Illustrations, Adobe Indesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator. The best part is that this Graphic Design Internship position is remote work and provides flexible hours. This is where I can show my strengths in illustration and switch to using InDesign Skills. Gotay emailed me to express her appreciation after emailing her a resume and ePortfolio.
