A quality internship experience is one of the best ways to grow your skills as a budding web designer. Unfortunately, looking for a quality internship at a web design company can be a daunting task. Even once you’ve found a blue-chip New York web design company that you think you’d love to work for, so many companies try to take advantage of interns by giving them grunt work no one else wants to do – data entry, file sorting, et al.
Noam Design is the exact opposite of that. Having been an intern when I first joined the team, I can attest to the fact that an internship here is definitely not a coffee-fetching position. Interns have a lot of possibilities in front of them, and it’s up to them to choose the direction in which they want to grow.
At the time I submitted my résumé, I had been working for 2 years as a graphic designer for a branding firm in Los Angeles when I decided that I would like to move into web design. Having accustomed myself to a regular paycheck, I wasn’t searching for internships; but after checking out the company’s outstanding web design portfolio, and all the internship program had to offer, I recognized that an internship at here was an opportunity that I couldn’t afford to refuse.
From my first day forward, I had my hands in real projects, and each assignment was geared toward my goals – no mindless paper shuffling! Over the course of the 3-month internship, I amassed a tremendous wealth of new technical knowledge, made outstanding improvements as a designer, and slowly gained greater and greater trust from my superiors and confidence in my own work.
Today, I am a full-time website designer here at Noam Design. Even as a paid employee, my growth as a designer continues unceasingly in a work environment where world-class designers and programmers seek to exchange knowledge and grow from each others experience.
So if you’re looking for an internship just to fulfill a requirement for graduation, move on; you’re not cut out for us. But if you’re a motivated and creative individual who strives to do extraordinary work, Noam Design may be just the thing to vault your career to new and exciting heights!
