Hi EF_ Team,
I am applying for an internship program at an advertising agency and I am supposed to answer some questions. Could you please do me a favor with my English grammar and proofreading because English is not my first language and I would like it to be correct and formal for this internship application. Thank you so much.

Here is my answers for some questions.
4. What is one thing we absolutely need to know about you? Feel free to have some fun with this answer.

I bring a camera with me more than my purse. I am not that kind of professional photographer, but I absolutely bring a camera every time I go out, that could be a cellphone camera, point-and-shoot camera or DSLR camera. For me, that is because missing a precious and fun moment is worse than losing amount of money or spending a fortune on valuable stuff.
5. Why do you think you'd be a good fit for Mullen?
I think I would be a good fit for Mullen because I find some qualities of mine in common with Mullen. I have a strong passion and interest for what I work and try my hardest to make it perfect no matter what difficulties there are. I have always considered challenges as the opportunities for me to improve myself and my work, and those challenges are to help me on the way to make my work greater. In addition, I hardly ever find myself satisfied with the imperfect work, this keeps me working and working harder until I am completely satisfied with what I have done and only great work can make me smile. Moreover, I have always viewed myself as a creative solution seeker. This means that I try my best to keep me creative in solving any issue with all of what I have got such as my skills and my thinking.
6. What is your dream job and why?
My dream job is to be a very good art director. I guess that is partly because most of the art directors and creative directors working in the advertising industry inspire me a lot and I love to work in this interesting industry and with those interesting people who are like-minded, partly because I like to do the creative work and like the way how people think and come up with creative solutions for the issues to help the clients gain success in their business.
In addition, I love to get a brief and then I really enjoy the moment I brainstorm unique ideas, subsequently, I find the ways of idea execution to bring my ideas to life. It is really an amazing work process that I can find in the art director position.
7. What is your favorite advertising campaign and why?
One of my favorite advertising campaigns is "Be Stupid" advertising campaign by Anomaly for the international jeans brand Diesel. The first reason that I love this campaign is its big idea with a very profound philosophy behind it. It strikes a chord in everybody for sure and it gets them thinking about the question "why can we not be stupid while there's nothing wrong with it?". "Be stupid" is the way we can be ourselves without being afraid of anything. We are not afraid of taking risks or not afraid of failure because there are worse things than failure, like even not giving it a try. When we are stupid, we are free to do what we love and it is just because we do not care about fear, rules, conformity or control. That is when we live our lives at the best.
The idea of this campaign is the most strongly conveyed through each of the headlines and the taglines, encouraging us how stupidity is a wonderful thing. I could not agree more. The visuals work very well with the headline and tagline with the purpose of making the idea stronger and stronger in consumers' minds.
In addition, this campaign is executed with many media such as online, press and outdoor advertisements to spread its philosophy. Those media are extremely effective and the budget spent on those media is not really expensive. That is also the reason why an advertising campaign can work well with a small budget.
Above all, the idea with its philosophy behind this campaign seems to fit well with Diesel's image of rebellion.
In "We are not afraid of taking risks or not afraid of failure ..."
you perhaps did want to say this instead : " We are not afraid of taking risks neither of failure .."
I dont know if it's right to repeat the word : failure
My suggestion is : "...because there are things worse than that "
I hope , some native speakers would have other suggestions
Good Luck
