My role in this company is a Graphic Design Intern that works directly with Art Director, Greg Concha. I selected this internship because I was always interested in working in a Magazine. As I
continued my education as a Graphic Designer I was
inspired to have a strong grasp on layouts, colors, and typography. By flipping through a magazine, I would feel many emotions, based on the organizational composition, colors, and images from all the information that was given. For me, this internship is a great beginning to pursue my goals in the c
ommunication field. My process to look for an internship was incredibly nerve-racking. Not only, did I have to look for an internship quickly, but one that I felt fit me best. I applied to many companies, but many of them did not reply back. The ones that did I immediately interviewed with them. For two of them, I did phone-interviews and one of them was a regular personal interview. In many of the interviews they asked me the same questions such as: Tell me about yourself? Explain further your resume and portfolio? Why do you want to work for us? I felt very comfortable within 10 minutes of the meeting because I really tried to show them how passionate I am about what I do and displayed a lot of excitement to work with them. For the phone interviews, it lasted at least 30-40 minutes each. Furthermore, the personal interview took longer, with a 15 minute waiting period and a 3 hour interview. The company is called Sircle Media and they also gave me three tests to work from home, and one to do in the actual interview. In a way, I believe it all worked out because I got the opportunity to do something I’ve always wanted to do: work with a magazine and learn their process.
