"I'm so lucky that I landed this internship. Publication design is one of my passions and obsessions, I'm deeply interested working for a magazine. It's crazy how so many people such as creative directors, art directors, designers, photo editors, and anyone else who makes the art decisions for a publication are so involved in a short period of time. Being in the museum has made me to quickly think sharp, spurt out creative design ideas in minutes, and network with a small staff." - John Labra

"Most positions are never advertised. A cold cover letter is an uninvited inquiry to an employer, recruiter or other hiring manager regarding possible job opportunities.
Cold cover letters' potential advantages include creating a job that didn't previously exist, gaining early consideration for a position that hasn't yet been advertised and expanding your network of contacts. By sending a letter to an employer who's not soliciting candidates, your resume will not be buried in a pile of hundreds of others."
