How I got an internship at 1776

1776 is pretty popular workplace in our city. And not an easy one to get into.

I first learned about 1776, when my professor brought my Social Media class there. I was amazed by it. It does have unique environment, it looks inspirational and people are interesting.

Soon after this class, I saw my friend's post on Facebook about availability of internships there. I decided to give it a try. My previous internship had to do a lot with event management, so I applied for two positions of media intern and event management intern. I spent the night trying to find any connections at 1776 to ask about requirements and to help me to stand out from the huge pool of applicants. And I did succeeded in it. After two rounds of interviews, I was offered a position of summer interns.

The issue I had that as I'm an international student on student visa, I had to go home during the summer to renew my visa and I didn't know how long it would take (2 weeks or 2 months). I decided to say about this right away during my interview to avoid any future complications. I was open about this and it didn't hurt me at all.

When the summer was close to an end, I was offered to stay for the fall semester. Why not?
