1. Bài mẫu (Sample)

Securing a temporary creative position within the media industry is an ambition I hope to realize soon. I am specifically aiming for a three-month internship in New York City, which is widely regarded as a global hub for visual arts.

I discovered this opportunity through an online portfolio platform that connects freelancers with international agencies. The listing featured several short-term contracts for assistants who are eager to work during the hectic Fashion Week season.

The specific role involves acting as a junior set photographer for a boutique fashion house. This task requires a professional who can capture behind-the-scenes footage while maintaining the aesthetic standards of the brand.

I am drawn to this particular path because it allows for unparalleled networking with industry experts in the United States. This experience would provide a significant boost to my creative portfolio and help me master advanced lighting techniques. Additionally, I want to experience the fast-paced work culture that defines the American professional landscape. Immersing myself in such a competitive environment is an essential stepping stone for my long-term artistic growth.
