competition: Crappiest Summer Internship

entry: A Marketing Internship? by c_tizzie

A Marketing Internship?
I did a summer 'Marketing' Internship for ExxonMobil.

My job? To 'facilitate the rollout of the Speedpass program'.

That may sound like an enriching and noble task, but in reality it meant me and my partner (luckily my good friend from high school) had to stand for hours in sweltering, Virginia summer heat inhaling gas fumes and begging uninterested people to sign up for a useless product that is totally meaningless now.

Luckily, major corporations are easily scammed - and we eventually realized that the independence we were granted meant we could do 'our job' from parties flowing with alcoholic libations and still get paid...

Wait - the real internship sucked, but the one I did...

Awesome. ;P
