7-Eleven Corporate Headquarters in Irving, TX
Getting your first design internship is exciting. You spent your all of your hard work curating your portfolio, interviewing, waiting, and finally you receive word from your recruiter regarding next steps about an offer. But this is only the beginning. For most of us, when we get our first design internship, we don’t really know what to expect. The joy of working on real projects over the summer sounds really exciting, but what most designers who start working for the first time don’t know is that expectations of an internship are much different than school. When I first started my internship at 7-Eleven, I experienced a bit of culture shock during my first week which has changed the way I treat internship work vs university.
