Internship Interviews

I asked around the school to find out who has had internships and found three people, two of which got back with me and answered a few questions I had for them; they were Lexie Shaunak (Illustration major) and Angelique Gonzalez (Digital Media major). Lexie is currently interning at Baker & Hill, a graphic design firm, and Angelique interned at Varsity Brands. I didn't know what to expect from the interviews at first, meaning I didn't know what I would learn. After the interviews, though, I began to feel much better about possibly applying for an internship. Before interviewing these two people I was very scared of internships, because I didn't think I could do what would be asked of me. Both girls told me they really enjoyed, or in Lexie's current position, are enjoying their internship, and they believe that it is a great way to gain experience. I asked them how they obtained those internships, and Lexie said she had already known the owner of the company, while Angelique had help from the school's Career Services and the internship was recommended to her. Either way, both of these students found their internships through contacts. Lexie, through someone she already knew, and Angelique, through the school.

I actually have a possible internship lined up for this summer with an organization called Lil Blessings Consignment, and the position was offered to me by the web coordinator. I've known her for about four years now, and she knows that my main interest is web/graphic design, so she offered me the position for the summer. If approved by the school, I'll be redesigning their website, and helping them with advertising.
