You should give me an internship.
Hi! I would like an internship, please. K, thx. Much appreciated. MBA-level preferred. Corporate Finance or Marketing Strategy. Or Operations. Supply Chain? How about Internal Consulting. No? Ok.
Where do I want to work? Funny you should ask. Retail, consumer products, technology- I like people and products- so anything that involves those two things. I tend to lean toward cupcakes, pet supplies, and media. Although shopping of any kind is sweet. International travel appreciated, but not required. Access to executives who appreciate my candor, wit, and unique insights a must.
Oh, you meant WHERE do I want to work! Silly me. Seattle, preferably. I’d like to be able to bus there from Capitol Hill. But, y’know, I’ll relocate for ten weeks. That’s cool. Basically, I just want to learn stuff, grow my skills, make connections, and make enough money to not go broke through the summer. I think that’s reasonable.
Oh yeah, and I will work really hard. Like, 16-hour days hard. I will model anything you want. I will go anywhere you like, present on any topic you require. I will find ways to make myself useful if you can’t think of any. I will add value. You will be, like, the envy of all of your corporate (or nonpofit or government- I don’t judge) recruiting friends when they see the awesome choice you made. Satisfaction guaranteed.
