Entry 1- Getting an Internship

As soon as January came around I was very anxious about what internship I would go for or even if I would get an internship. But my professor for our internship class recommended some opportunities on the coordinating site. In my internship course, One of those Opportunities was from a Graphic design business located in Brooklyn, New York called, Calling All Graphics. Marla Gotay is the owner of this business and was the one in charge of interns during our work hours and has been in this profession for over 25 years. Most of the jobs Marla does are done online and she specializes in a variety of design jobs such as a menu, logos, business cards, brochures, T-shirts, channel lettering, and much more.

Marla Gotay takes pride in developing close relationships and bonds with other clients and that was quickly proven even on my first day when she allowed me and other interns to listen in on her talking with her clients on the phone. Marla was friendly and easygoing with many when talking to many of the clients on the phone and she also says that she has known or has been working for some of her clients for 10 years.  As for other interns, so far I have seen about 4 other interns other than me and most of them are from City tech, two of them I actually knew from classes I was in prior to the pandemic.
