Section 1.3

After delivering my resume to FLT and having a brief talk with my former boss (who helped land me this opportunity), I was contacted and asked to come in for a formal interview with the head of the Interactive Media Department, as I expressed my interest in that opening rather than the straight programming position. The formal interview consisted of a brief interview, where I was asked about what I feel are my strengths and weaknesses when it comes to programming. One piece of advice I have to offer is to be yourself. Let your possible employers know how you are and let them get to know you, not a "one-time persona" that they'll only see during formal times. Afterwards, they wanted to test my ability to critique one of their projects from a programmer's perspective, rather than from a marketing perspective. I was given a Flash animation movie, with some ActionScript code embedded, and asked to scan over the movie and see what could be changed; what was good and bad about how the movie was structured, as well as how code could be used to make the movie more efficient. They gave me a week with the project, and called me back the following week to discuss my ideas. Upon explaining to them how I felt about the project, how it could be improved, and where some possible mistake existed, they choose to offer me the internship.
