After applying for about fourteen Graphic Design Internship Remote Positions and Two Creative Marketing Intern Positions at Handshake that’s about sixteen total, I received four email responses from Power Digital Marketing Company, Calling all Graphics, Baruch College, and PROJXON, thanking me for taking the opportunity to apply as a Graphic Designer Intern Position while submitting my Resume, Cover Letter, and ePortfolio Site. What concerned me was the lack of response about scheduling an Interview. I was this close to securing my internship before the midterm grades were due, and Everything was making my mind feel very overwhelmed with frustration, anxiety, and depression. That is until after networking with my older sister, Cristina Nava-Sosa, the Lead facilitator at the Non-Profit Organization Extreme Kids and Crew, she contacted her social media coordinator and her Americorps Volunteer Coordinator to ask if they are seeking Social Media Creative Marketing Intern positions this Fall.

Extreme Kids and Crew is a Nonprofit Organization located at Brooklyn’s Children’s Museum. Its mission is to create entertaining, brave, and environment-friendly spaces that nurture a sense of belonging and community for neurodivergent children and families. We work together to cultivate programs allowing neurodivergent children and the entire crew to discover their own meaning of playtime.

They seek Social Media Interns who can assist the Social Media Coordinator of the Extreme Kids and Crew in capturing photos and videos to construct social media posts through their Instagram, LinkedIn, and their website, design holiday flyers through Canva, and promote 30-second videos briefly discussing their programs at Perspectives: A Photography Club, Fall Kitchen: Culinary exploration for young chefs, Rock Band for any Rock Star Band Members who are the big fans of Rock n’ Roll, Gaming Crew for our casual and competitive gamers, and many other family-friendly events for Neurodivergent children to make themselves feel special and have their life worth living.

I have an interview with Alysha Witty, the Americorps Coordinator, and Ramona Skelding, the Social Media Coordinator at Extreme Kids and Crew, at 3:30 PM on October 22nd. My next task is to practice a mock interview questions and some answers on how to ace your Interview explaining why you are the best canditate for Social Media Intern at Extreme Kids and Crew.
