That's right, we've worn out our current team of interns. Beat them into the ground with grinding deadlines, real-world (read: unnecessarily harsh) critiques, and laborious menial chores. In return for our genuine guidance in building their portfolios, and learning real world technical skills, we ask for undaunted commitment and loyalty. I know the Ping Pong Club LOOKS like fun (see photo), but that's just a snare. It's horrible (just like a real agency job). Anyway, as the chief mentor around here, I am praying for applicants with the following traits, which means I won't have to spend as much time lording over them with (often contradictory) directions, and snatching the mouse out of their hands to "demonstrate" the "correct way" (aka my way) to do stuff.
-Know where your career is going, and have your goals planned out. We don't want dabblers.
-If you haven't read "Hey Whipple squeeze this" you'd better read it fast before you apply, then claim you've read it several times over the years.
-Do you really understand the concepting process? You'll have to prove it with your portfolio and with the entry assignment (see below).
-I'm the only one here who isn't a nice person. We really want social, collaborative, fun, kind, positive people with generally calm demeanors.
Have I talked you out of it? Good. It's a PIA to plow through all the applicants. If you insist on continuing, here's the application:
