After working almost every day for about 15 hours, it can get exhausting. My fellow interns, Aimee, Samantha, Chelsey and Elissa, have conquered this with ease.
Despite all the technical difficulties, tough story angles and long nights, the ladies truly showed how dedicated they are to the field of journalism.
This should be a warning sign to all of the professionals out there that think 'young people' are not serious. We are serious.
We are passionate about reporting, about getting the facts right and about being up-to-date on the latest technology. I have no fear that my fellow interns will want a job when they graduate from each of their colleges.
My fear lies in the numbers: the unemployment rate. Smart, motivated graduates are not getting jobs, but employers need to take chances on students. They can fast-forward your company into the 22nd century.
We can help come up with social networking strategies. And brainstorming is a breeze.
I am so confident in these four ladies and myself because of the things that we’ve learned during this conference. We’ve worked with some amazing professionals who have helped us learn the skills we need to help YOU, the employer.
We’re ready.
And don't worry, whatever you pay us, we'll probably take it, which is yet another plus side to hiring a ‘young person.’
