Journal Entry #1 – The Job Hunt


Before school starts, I started to apply for Psyop, Titmouse, and Roof Studio. I should have had applied more, but all the companies that I wanted are in the summer. Then, from those three companies, I only heard from Titmouse and I didn’t get accepted. I started to panic because I don’t have an internship yet, and school starts in 3 days. I thought to myself, “I may have to drop the class, but I need to graduate.”

I remember that I used to work for CPC (Chinese-American Panning Council) in the SYEP (Summer Youth Employment Program). I went to CPC in Brooklyn to see if they have an internship available. Luckily for me, they do. I met with Helen, who is a Senior Service Coordinator. She told me to email her my resume and portfolio.

After that, I went home, fixed my resume and cover letter, and sent everything to Helen. The day after that, Helen wrote me back, and she said that she will send my resume and portfolio to her supervisor. Finally, on Wednesday, Helen sent me an email that the supervisor wants to interview me on Friday at 2:00 pm. Oh boy, I’m nervous, but also ready.
