I just got an interview for a Copywriting internship at an agency I’ve been dying to intern at for a long time. I’m freaking out. How can I be as prepared as possible?

Don't sweat it. At the intern level, here's what they're looking for: you'll do what you're told, you won't be a brat, you have some ambition, you won't stare creepily at them when you're the only 2 people in an otherwise silent restroom.

I'm assuming your book got you the interview, so someone already sees something in you. Just act like a respectable human being and you'll be fine.

Thank you, I appreciate it

Be a good intern by doing the work that ur asked to do, the faster and good quality it is, the better. Ask others in ur dept if u can help w anything and find opportunities to learn as much as you can. In your down-time, read up on stuff on the internet but make the most of your time! And try to leave a good impression / relationship w anyone you work with

Thank you! I hope I get far enough to get to use your advice!

Google the agency, stay up on news about them. Look at the website, and be sure you know who their clients are. If you happen to know someone who works there, grab coffee and ask advice about culture/personality/do's and don'ts. I get aggravated when I interview recent graduates who want to only talk about themselves instead of why they want to work here particularly. Show how you'll fit in and what you can contribute!

It isn’t until Wednesday

Update: found out yesterday that I got the internship! I start next Tuesday. I’m super excited, thanks for all your advice!

on the way to an interview this morning eating a sandwich. I walked past a homeless man who had a stray cat perched on his lap.

As I got to the interview room there was a large executive chair facing away from me. The chair turned and on top was a mirror. When looking in the mirror I could see the cat. I am the cat.

When you say your salary jumped __x, how is that exactly calculated?

Mine was $16k (minimum wage before joining corporate) > $40k (contractor total before getting laid off) > $150k (current FT)?

Is that a 260% jump or 2.6x from $16k to $40k?
And a 375% jump or 3.75x from $40k to $150k?

Or do I calculate it by hourly rate?
