Citibank credit card holders-?
I know this is probably a really desperate stupid question to ask. & i'll probably get no response, but yeah; i'm desperate. all i need is the first six digits off of someones citibank card to get into a presale for the Jonas Brothers. I don't have very much money & i live for these boys. (don't ask why, even i don't know) I would love to get good seats at their concert just once, & i know the public sale will sell out in 2 seconds! & in order to get to a presale i need the first 6 digits off of someones card. Thats it. But i know there are safety/identity theft issues, but i hope someone will trust me when i say "All i want is my Jonas Tickets, not you're money!" (:
What are the best ways to get an internship at a startup?
The first question that came to my mind when I was looking for an internship 2 years ago was “Why do I want an internship in a Startup and not an MNC?”The only reason I was interning in a startup back then was because I was rejected for each and every internship by an MNC.I finally got an answer after I completed my internships in Craftsvilla and Stoned Santa which is an IIM Bangalore incubated Startup.The amount of exposure and practical knowledge you acquire in a startup has enormous value in today’s world. Even if there is a specific intern profile, you get to learn and experience about each and every department.I’ll let you know of how I landed up interning with two startups in one year.I made a list of all the startups that I wanted to intern in and reached out to all the related people on LINKEDIN 2–3 months prior to the internship. Do not be afraid of reaching out to the heads of departments you are interested in.I did not have a good experience with INTERNSHALA. All the startups that shortlisted me were just for sales profile and I would be paid a certain percentage of the sales I would procure.I always believe incentives should be paid on the value you add to the company rather than just the sales you get.Apply only in those startups which have your personal goals aligned with their vision. It’s always about mutual learning. There must be a fair trade between how much you contribute to the company and the learning you get back.The best place to intern (if you do not have much prior experience) is Boot-Strapped Startups. I wasn’t paid handsomely in my internshipsbut the experience and the exposure I got in every field be it Digital Marketing, Sales, Product, Operations was unmatchable.Thoroughly research about the startup you have an interview in. Prepare a road map of how you would be able to add value to the company for the particular duration.Never ask about the incentives in your first interview call. Let them know that gathering experiences for you is more important than gathering money.Its been few months since I’ve joined the startup, Stoned Santa, and I have started putting all my theoretical knowledge to practice i.e. 1. Running Facebook ads, 2. Sales! I hit a lakh in my first month. 3. Scouting and onboarding new artists and interns. (As an intern, I get to handle more interns. Isn’t that cool?)4. Handling operations and Product Development.5. Search Engine Optimisation, Quora ADs and what not!All the Best for your Internship! :)
