[nabs-l] Advice on internship

[justin williams]

First off, do not put that in your cover letter. What ever you do. In the
interview, have mapped out the ways by which you will be able to facilitate
that part of the job being accomplished whether that is colaborateing with
another employee or not.  Make sure the employer knows where your skills
stop, and the coworker's begin.  Explain to them how your technology works
at least on a basic level.  You've got to have it worked out before you get
there.  The employer needs to feel comfortable with your ability to do the
job.

Good morning, Minh,

         This seems simple you might not bring this problem up in a cover
let, or resum`e but in the interview. Describe in the interview your plans
to collaborate with another person on the project to take care of the visual
requirements of the job. Be sure to point out the way your knowledge of
whichever technical know-how of computers ought to prove simply invaluable
while your team endeavors to put together fundraising campaigns. And, as has
been said by some of us, you might not emphasize not being able to interface
with graphics, as your facility with that over which you do have control
might make that little fact pretty irrelevant since you will simply kick
technical ass. 3/27/2014, Mikayla Gephart wrote:
