Summer Jobs

I'll be interviewing for some summer internship positions over the next week or so, and I figured I'd share some advice with the loving public about how to land your dream internship. These steps more or less outline the process I've gone through so far:

1. Don't really try that hard.
2. Apply at the last possible second; do so online, not in person.
3. Don't bother with a cover letter.
4. Your CV should be an almost-empty Word (or Pages, I'm not here to judge) template.
4. Leave your phone under your bed and off, for two weeks, so you don't get any calls.
5. Don't call back for another week after listening to those voicemails.
6. Forget what company you're interviewing at.

I know this sounds tough, but I believe* in you. You can** do it.

* don't believe
** can't
