Your Turn: Applying Your Skills at olloclip: Early on, olloclip defined its mission as follows: "To create mobile photography accessories that excite the inner artist in everyone and help capture and share those spontaneous moments simply and efficiently." Besides convenience, olloclip lenses promise to turn even average hobbyists into exceptional photographers. The company's Instagram presence reflects the olloclip motto that "images speak louder."

To identify its key target audience, olloclip defined four sets of users: digital youth who largely point the camera at themselves; the general population (i.e., people who want to up their social media game); and professional photographers who recognize smartphones as a terrific medium to capture great content.

As a photography company, olloclip heavily relies on Instagram. The company's other main social media platforms are Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Snapchat, and Periscope, a new video app. Staff members also communicate by e-mail, Skype, and Trello, a new project management tool. Like most tech companies, olloclip encourages informal, but respectful interaction "with a Silicon Valley feel," says Lena Galasko, olloclip sales rep. She and her coworkers can be "serious and formal when necessary within the team or with customers."

Your Task: You hope to be chosen to intern at olloclip, where you may be asked to help with the monthly e-newsletter Lena sends to retailers and distributors. You may also be assigned to assist the social media team. Some writing tasks include writing tweets, photo captions, and short news items from the world of photography. As a writing sample, Lena asks you to send her a professional e-mail message, describing your background, education, and career plans. She wants you to explain why you wish to intern at olloclip, what you like about the company, and what you hope to learn.

Explanation / Answer

Subject- internship at olloclip

Dear Lena

My name is Victoria. I am doing bachelor’s degree in photography from Massachusetts college of art and design. There I am learning technical aspects of photography devices and specialisation in multi media. In part of my degree I need to take intern from good company so I wish to get trained here. I have done training before that in my city from local photographer. I have learned about the lens in camera.

I got call from many other companies but I wish to get trained in your company. Because I know for passionate photographer like me can learn more from your place only. I know you people are more focused on social media platforms and I am social media in charge in my college. So I can help you in sharing your new tool in my group. I work with other college students too so you can have more exposure there also. I am hoping to get expertise in lens knowledge.

In future after completing my degree I wish to be part of your team. So before that I wish to get intern under professionals like you. Kindly give me chance to prove myself and make me learn your skills and knowledge.

Thanks in advance

Victoria
