Background: The marketing team at a large clothing brand company. The marketing team is made up of over 30 people and includes the PR team, Web team and the Promotions team among others; each has their own intern. We, the interns, have become quite close- sitting in the same cubicle row, eating lunch together and hitting happy hour at the end of the day. Jake is the Web intern, Brittney is the marketing intern, and I am the Promotions intern.
Brittney was with the company first, she started 6 months ago and has had her internship extended over and over. She has been promised a position, but no cigar so far. Jake has been with the company for 3 months, and his internship is expected to end at the end of this month. I am the newest intern on the team, and have only been with the company for a month.
A couple days ago we learned that the Web team was going to take on a new intern. So far we like Diana, but reservations are expected, as we are all vying for a hired position and this new intern is a contestant for Jake’s job. Some of our collogues joke that it is like “Survivor” for interns.
Jake: “My internship is up at the end of this month and they brought in a new intern…. yeah, time to start job hunting.”
I guess she can be invited to each lunch with us...
