Posted by Marjorie Skinner on Thu, Jan 15, 2009 at 3:18 PM

That's right, the Mercury is once again on the hunt for free labor! We are seeking an intern with massive enthusiasm in the following areas:

FOOD (all of it, but with particular emphasis on the free kind offered at media previews of restaurants that Food Editor Patrick Coleman can not attend)

MOVIES (all of them, day and night, must love subtitles, must watch whatever Film Editor Erik Henriksen says)

ART (all of it, including the kind you hang on walls)

MUSIC (only some of it. have good taste.)

FASHION (taking pictures of other people who have enthusiasm for fashion counts)

And...

DATA ENTRY!!!!!!!!!

You will not get: MONEY

You will get: PUBLISHED

Interested, perfect candidates should email me detailing their enthusiasm in each of the previously listed areas. Please use the word "intern" in the subject line. (This is a test.)

How about this: I do everything except for the data entry, and you pay me $15 an hour, plus benefits.

I really think that this is the best arrangement for everybody.

I'll take the job for $30 plus benefits, and I'll be willing to do the data entry.

Remember Mercury, you get what pay for.

Looks into toilet, staring at the floating turd and ponders about the humor they have just created.

No thanks. I've been published. It feels great, but won't get you a job in a dead industry. One that tries to pay you with your own vanity.
