As of today, there is no office environment for HungerPass in the NYC area. The NYC interns meet with the creative director and boss once a week at a local Starbucks in Manhattan while the rest of the internship is remote. During the meetings we are not required to dress business casual and are free to dress informal but in some circumstances,  we are required to wear a HungerPass t-shirt that was given to us on certain days. On meeting days the interns are required to report to the creative director on how their week went regarding on the social media marketing/designs/writing assignments given during the previous week as well as discuss tactics on how to further promote the company.

My role within HungerPass is a social media marketer/designer. I often do social media postings for my company’s Facebook and Twitter as well as design flyers, banners, and layouts. I found this internship through the website indeed.com and was scheduled for an interview within a week of applying. The interview was held at a Starbucks in downtown Manhattan with the senior creative director Maria . The type of questions I was asked during the interview were along the lines of, “Have you heard of HungerPass before? Do you live in the NYC area? How fluent are you with social media? Have you designed for social media before? What can you bring to our team?”

It is the fall semester of the year 2018 and I’m currently interning as a social media marketer/designer at HungerPass. HungerPass was founded in 2014 and it is a dining app that allows its users to get discounts on certain restaurants as well help restaurants gain foot traffic during their off peak hours. It is a startup company that is based in the NYC and long Island area. Their main office is located in Long Island but however most of the meetings for the NYC interns are held in several Starbucks locations throughout the city which take place once a week. The primary business of the company is to help bring more diners into restaurants during their down times. The way HungerPass achieves this is by promoting the restaurant through social media and in return the restaurants who are partnered up with HungerPass will give discount incentives to the users of the HungerPass app.
