Avkash Shah, a 21-year-old 3D graphic/motion designer from Mumbai (as his LinkedIn profile shows), wanted to intern at the credit card payments company, Cred. Shah found an interesting way to get the internship he was looking for. He made a 3D video listing out his talent and why he would like to join Cred. He also tagged CRED's founder, Kunal Shah, and Head of Design, Harish Sivaramakrishnan.

"I want to intern at CRED. Here's my application," Avkash Shah wrote while sharing the video on LinkedIn. "I figured that if I was going to apply, I'd make something worth it. It pays to be good," he added.
