I’m so excited to finally share with you guys what my new job is! As of about 2 weeks now, I’m the Creative Associate at Branch Design in Chicago. Branch Design is a boutique interiors firm. As far as job responsibilities go, I’ll be doing a bit of everything, which is exciting for me. I love variety and new challenges, so I think it will be a great fit!
I came across the job posting online and knew I should apply for it. Honestly, I figured my chances of being offered a position or internship were pretty slim because I don’t have any formal training or education in all (or any!) things interior design. I do, however, have my mom’s creativity and “eye”, so I just went for it and applied. I met with Caroline a couple days later for an interview and we hit it off right away. Not long after, she offered me a position and I excitedly accepted!
The timing of it couldn’t have been better. I had been interested in getting into the interiors/design field, but wasn’t sure how or where to start. So to say that this was perfect timing is a bit of an understatement. I’m so looking forward to learning and being challenged in new ways.
Here’s to new adventures!
Oh! You can check out my first blog post here! And you can like us on Facebook to stay in the know on all things design.
So exciting!
How did you relay on your application/resume that you do have experience in interior design but no real formal training? I'm running into this problem when applying for jobs where I feel that I am qualified for the position but may not necessarily have all the formal training behind it but know that I could certainly do the job.
