I took to the streets of craigslist cause I was so desperate for an intern, and let's just say....there are some frightening fuckers in the world..needless to say I am still looking for the right fit.
For Example:
I have been getting emails like this
NOT A JOKE PEOPLE:
To whom it may concern,
Over the past four years I have developed strong sales skills that have guided me throughout my short career in sales and has made me a respectable team player for many companies to come. I look forward in meeting and creating new relationships everyday. I am currently going back to finishing my intended career goal in Interior Design and will appreciate consideration with your firm. As an intern I will be able to use my skills with product knowledge, assisting you and being able to learn more of the industry. I look forward to meeting with you.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
