| A lot of guys have female avatars in other forums because it's a person they would love to hook up with. I haven't met anyone yet who actually uses their own photo as an avatar.
But back to the subject of internships, you won't have much trouble finding internships if they want your to work for free. They believe "experience is its own reward" and won't be so choosy. However paid interships are much harder to find and probably a lot like finding a regular job. I'm not exactly sure where a good place to look is, but I've seen some intern/trainee postings in Monster.com. Sites that specialize in post-college jobs may also be a good place to look, I don't know of any off-hand, but I think some job sites may have categories similar to that.
I found an unpaid internship for a nephew of mine (who's interested in becoming a chef but is still in high school) by directly emailing the head of a local small cooking school and asking if she would be interested in taking on a young apprentice. She said yes, and now he helps out over there every other Saturday. It's slave labor but he's learning stuff and it'll look good on his applications to chef schools and his resume later on. |
