Another Internship!!!

Another Internship!!!

Good news everyone! I got another intern this semester at Fry!!! I am so excited about it...Ok, I know I am crazy, taking 4.5 classes while working 10-15 hours per week is crazy. But hey, the more intern experience you have, the more advantage you have in your full-time job search upon graduation. Company would always prefer a candidate with field experience for sure :)

Anyway, talking about my new internship, I will be a User Experience Intern within the User Experience Group at Fry, Inc. Unlike in Enterprise, where my focus is mainly on interaction design, I will majoyly be responsible for the testing part of a design cycle.

With that, i can tell you a little bit about the interview process. Without doubt, most questions are about my experience in Enterprise: what I have done, how I did it, why I did it this way and what I have learnt. I have a small trick here: Study carefully a position's requirement and try to organize your description so that it fit the requirement. Say they require experience in making interactive wireframe, you'd better have relevant description during your interview or when answering what you have done previously. They have also asked lots of questions about my school project, with a specific interest in my System Evaluation class, since they want me to do testing during my internship. In this, my advice is similar, try organize your speech so that they feel that you have what they need for this position and you are more than willing to learn what you don't have.

I will start my internship soon and have you guys posted :)
