There was a time when an unpaid internship was done by college students as a way to gain experience, network and help open doors in professional fields like law, high tech, and financial services.
Apparently those days are over. See Exhibit 1 in the form of this ad in Philadelphia Craigslist:
GIANT BURRITO MAN OR WOMAN NEEDED (Philly)
NEED 1 PERSON TO DRESS UP AS GIANT BURRITO, RUN AROUND THROWING BURRITOS AT BUILDINGS, OTHER PEOPLE, ETC.
WE PROVIDE THE BURRITO COSTUME AND THE BURRITOS, BUT THIS IS AN UNPAID INTERNSHIP.
GREAT LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN BURRITO MARKETING.
KEYWORDS: BURRITOS, BURRITO, YUM, MARKETING, AWESOME, SPLAT
I’ll assume this is a great opportunity for people who have some sort of fetish that involves dressing up as and/or throwing burritos. Either that or someone who has always wanted to break into the dressing up as food and giving out flyers business but was never able to gain the necessary experience to get a foot in the door.
