Karthig Saravanan, a motion designer and illustrator, wanted to do an internship at the credit card payments company CRED. So, he found an interesting and innovative way to take the first step towards his goal. He created a mock advertisement for the company and uploaded it on his LinkedIn profile. The video soon created a buzz and attracted the attention of many, including CRED’s head of design Harish Sivaramakrishnan.
“Hey CRED, I wish to intern with you. Here is my work to showcase my skills,” Saravanan wrote. “I'm a self-taught motion designer and illustrator who is looking for opportunities in motion designing and digital illustrations,” he added. He also tagged CRED’s founder Kunal Shah and head of design Harish Sivaramakrishnan.
The video opens to show a text that reads, “Hello. This is Karthig. I want to intern at CRED. So I made a commercial.” The video then goes on to show the ad that Saravanan created. The clip ends with a witty text that reads, “Full-time would be great.”
