My supervisors are Ellisen Wang (Internship Coordinator) and Lyle Benjamin (Founder). I email and text Ellisen to talk about my work availabilities. So if CUNY decides to change a day to follow a different day’s schedule, I would text Ellisen to give him a heads up that I won’t be able to go to work that day and talk about a day to make up the hours. When I work in office/remotely, I speak to Lyle for directions of projects.

I found this internship from Internships.com and specifically applied to Internship locations which is nearby my home. I applied to many other internships, 16 Things wasn’t the only one I applied to. I sent my application in through Internships.com and received a follow up email for my ePortfolio so they could see the type of work I do and if they are interested. After sending the ePortfolio link, I received another email from Ellisen to schedule for a interview for the internship spot. The next day, which I was scheduled for, I came in to the office for my interview.

When the interview started, I was greeted and introduced to Ellisen who was the Internship Coordinator. He asked me a few questions such as “Why did you choose 16 Things Kids Can Do?”, “Why should we choose you?”, “What do you hope to gain from this interview?”, “What do you know of the company?”, and many other questions. After being asked the interview questions, I was introduced to Lyle and received a second interview. Lyle mainly talked to me to get to know my personality and show me the type of work I would be dealing with and also previous works from other interns.
