STRAIGHT SHOOTIN': INTERN APPLICATION

"hi
my name is samantha and im in yr 10 from westsfields sports high. i was wondering if pause designs does work experience?
please do reply back :)"

Samantha, it's not like I resent you for kind of being the catalyst that brought about the arduous undertaking of an intern application. But it's kind of like I do resent you, too.

This preliminary question is specifically geared to you:

1. a) Westsfields Sports High? Do you know the Wakefield twins at Sweet Valley? No but seriously that's awesome. You're in tenth year which means you maybe didn't have a Sweet Valley phase but lemme intrigue you with THIS:



I know what you're thinking, "is that theme song performed by the singer from Cowboy Junkies?" You're not thinking that at all, are you.

On to the application:

1. b) If hired on as our intern, what sort of job experience are you hoping to walk away with? How will you take the experience acquired here and apply it to your future career? What good things will you say about us?

This question concludes the end of the professional interview. Now we gauge your sense of humour and unflappability.

2. Would you mesh well with three young male entrepreneurs who have penchants for all things spectacular? Would you say that you are willing to dole out compliments regarding their general handsomeness as well as brilliance? To Ken especially?

3. EMERGENCY! STEVE THE CORGI JUST GOT OUT OF THE HOUSE AND IS CHASING AFTER WHAT APPEARS TO BE A BUTTERFLY. What do you do?
a) congratulate him.
b) tell on him.
c) catch the butterfly yourself and rub it in his cute little furry face.

4. I need you to do some fact-checking for me because I've got this crazy idea for a blog but it's a huge undertaking and I'm not actually a journalist or a writer. You:
a) put your nose to the grindstone and find stuff out about stuff.
b) tell me to take a hike, and maybe also that I'm a jerk.
c) pat me on the back and remind me that there's always time for pepperoni pizza.

5. What kind of dinosaur would you be, and why?
a) winged - eg. pterodactyl, turkey vulture, dragon
b) herbivore - eg. brachiosaurus, stegosaurus, vegan tyrannosaurus rex
c) carnivore - velociraptor (because let's face it, rock beats scissors, raptor kills everyone)

6. Let's talk favourite colours. Mine's purple. Discuss.

7. On any given day would you be willing to do the following:
a) be inspired
b) laugh
c) make others laugh
d) tickle Mel under the chin
e) all of the above

There. Seven burning questions without the unsightly rash. WRITE US BACK!
