Reply With QuoteI agree with diff and Andrew, bandit. Setting an auto-responder for your job email was a bad move and you should turn it off immediately.

That is my concern. You've probably just made the worst first impression you could have made. That company took the time to respond to the e-mail and resume you sent them and you weren't even there waiting for it. I'd say your chances of entry in to that job at slim to none.

Not even about the auto-responder (though that is laughably ridiculous), companies expect you to get back to them *NOW*. Like I said there are hundreds if not thousands of graphic design students in the city of New York looking for internships, they have no time to waste on someone on vacation. They dont give a shit if you are on spring break and its your vacation because a lot of those other students are spending their spring break *looking for internships*. It is cutthroat. Not to mention whoever hooked you up looks like an asshole when they get your auto-response or no response.
They have the job, you are at their mercy. I was having phone problems during my job search and companies generally blew me off if I called a day late even if it wasnt my fault.

This isnt a job where I'll be working to get paid. This is an internship but I should still treat this as a real job. Considering all the jobs I had, I never had to wait. So yes, this is sort of new to me.
Technically, I never contacted them or emailed them. Cowdisease was nice enough to talk to them to see if they were in need of an intern. Again, this is internship as stated in the topic title. I'm not looking for pay or an actual full-time position.
Done. I'll reply to him.

Well, I got two interviews. One with the hookup from cowdisease (thanks) and one with Time Inc.

Awesome, break a leg man.
It's been my experience in the design field to dress up but don't wear a suit and tie either. Creative types, depending on the disposition of the job and boss of course, don't really like suits and ties. Don't dress like a slob either.
Time MAGAZINE?
It's a periodical.

I didn't put the two together at first. I did a search thinking it was a design studio or something. I don't know, Time Magazine may appreciate if you dressed up. I don't know about that it's a tough one. They don't dress up at Toro Magazine up here, or Canadian Living or conservative ones like that, but I'm not sure. Time is much bigger and much much more conservative. Bring a tie with you just in case and wear a blazer.

Its best to dress professional in my opinion.

What's your definition of professional?
