Internship Description:
In a word, we need someone who possesses passion. If you are not passionate, and your response to this post will indicate that, keep trawling for other options and don’t waste our time or yours. If you think we are jerks for writing that, think about who you would want on your team
We are highly focused innovators ourselves…your opportunity to learn with us, our method, and our industry as a whole will prove invaluable. The potential of responsibility is tremendous, and we always hope to convert an intern into a full-time employee if we gel. Actually, this happens sometimes. If you are selected, you have the best chance of being hired, more than anyone else we may deal with. Know that.
Some questions to ask yourself
Do you have the nerve to jump in the fire with confidence knowing a good strategy will spare your life Do you ask the right questions before you jump What is a recent real-life example demonstrating answers to these questions Do challenges push you to learn and test your own limits of what you can do Are you a solutions seeker Are you more honest than Richard Heene
