Interns needed
Sadly, my Duke-terns are leaving this week and so are most of b5’s summer interns.
So I’m looking for new interns to help with a variety of projects and basically all of the b5 sites (Crushable.com, TheGloss.com, and Blisstree.com) need new people.
So if you’re interested, or know someone who is, you can contact me at ESPIERS at Gmail.
I have whatever the opposite of inbox zero is right now. (Mostly resumes.) Inbox 2496?
