don't clean-up my home office

We are proud to say ... most of our Interns DO NOT make coffee for us! (If they have, it's because they have offered to do so.) And we DO NOT ask Interns to clean-up after us. (This pic of my desk should be convincing enough, eh?)

Check out this ad for an internship position (or if you prefer - make sure to copy/paste the whole link below without the line break):

The deal is ... some business owners look at an intern as "free labor" of sorts. We truly view the intern and the experience as an investment - an investiment in my time and the intern's time. It's an opportunity to share objectives - an Intern's building of a resume and a Business Owner's building of a business.

In upcoming posts, I'll continue to post a bit more about our internship program. Maybe you'll see something you like if you are a prospective intern (for us or another business), or if you are a business owner contemplating taking on an intern, hopefully some of what we have in our internship program will serve as food for thought.
