Internships

So, I hired an intern recently. Insert the Bill Clinton jokes now. She is 19, cute and very qualified. The last reasonof the three is why I hired her. She is studying marketing and wanted a job in radio for the past two years, so I gaveher one. She is not getting my dry cleaning and coffee for two reasons. The first, I don’t have much stuff that needsdry cleaning and second, I hate coffee. Instead she is contacting record companies to get some promotionalgive-a-ways for our station. We have a great deal of remotes coming up and we need crap to give away. So, she isdoing her job. She will soon be with me at several bar remotes over the next few months helping me give away stuff.I just got a call from another intern that is looking into marketing from Eastern Illinois University. This college is just 20 minutes north of us and provides several people that are looking for internships. All are unpaid, mind you. Iwill be meeting with this girl on Tuesday, and should everything shape out, she will be hired as well. Come the end of the summer, both will be looking for part-time jobs. I figure if they are willing to work their asses off for free,then if they get paid for it, we should get a great deal out of them! I just need to make them crutial to the innerworkings of the station before their internships are up so it would be impossible to let them go. But, we’ll see.
