I need some advice on how to hit on interns and or student journalists

[HEyHEY]

I'm supposed to give some a tour of work later this week. Advice?

[datasuspect]

1. act important

take some of them to lunch, but go to the bank first. withdraw about 5,000. all c-notes.


take them to lunch at a bar.

segregate yourself and a few choice hotties and start buying rounds, lots of shots.

flash. the. money.

act REALLY important.

wear a suit and tie. most people are beguiled by ties for some reason.

[HEyHEY]

3. I always wear ties for that reason

Also, I have to make it seem like sleeping with me will result in an intership and or job.

[datasuspect]

5. you will go far

i'm proud of you.

[Radical Activist]

25. Good one.

Interns are easily impressed.

[crim son]

2. Why don't you ask your Irish lass?

I'm sure she'll have a suggestion or two.

[HEyHEY]

4. Ack! No...

Of course, fooling her into thinking I'm sought after could be a good ploy.

[crim son]

6. Or it could completely backfire.

:rofl:

[HEyHEY]

7. As long as it's dramatic

[crim son]

10. My philosophy.

:thumbsup:

[Danger Mouse]

8. Ask them if they have a blue dress.

Wink knowingly.
If that doesn't work, I don't know what will.

[datasuspect]

9. man, i never used that one before

the best ones are always right there in front of you

[Danger Mouse]

13. I'm as smooth as melted butter, what can I say? nt

[Robb]

11. Offer a byline

...You'd be amazed what students will do for a byline. :yoiks:

[HEyHEY]

12. That's a good idea too n/t

[Chan790]

14. Don't.

Sorry...got to tell you. If you like your job, there are few ways to get fired quicker than to f&*k an intern. It's simply unprofessional. What's more, firing people for this is a lot of fun. (Yes, I used to fire people for this...I also turned in a superior to the B of Ds of the organization and made sure said superior was fired..and effectively blackballed out of the entire NP sector.)

"Hey Joe..."
"Yeah?"
"I hear you and Sue the new intern really hit it off. (wink wink)"
"Oh yeah. Three times"
"Hey Joe, I got some good news for you."
"Oh yeah."
"You know that policy about no inter-work dating?"
"Oh no."
"Yeah, you don't work here anymore...so you're free and clear."

Golly gee, I used to love that routine. Kind of makes me miss my office days. Not that I don't love making coffee for un-caffeinated assholes who are in way too fast of a rush.

[Chan790]

15. I know it's a huuge jump from hitting on the interns to buggering the interns...

but what the point of hitting on them if you're not going for the gold...I mean nobody likes a flirty tease.

[Radical Activist]

27. huh

Were you jealous or something? You sound like a jerk.

[SoCalDemGrrl]

16. You should be ashamed of yourself..those poor interns.

[MnFats]

17. speak in complete sentences!

and make sure you have correct language use!

[MonkeyFunk]

18. duh....

tell 'em you've worked closely with their professors/sponsors for years, and you can assure they get a good grade if they just "play along". God, it's amazing Canadians reproduce at all.

[RagingInMiami]

19. Take it from a man who lived with two interns (not at same time) during my corporate J-career

Teach them how to find their writer's voice.

[Skittles]

20. HEyHEy you don't need advice, you need an ass-kicking

YES

[Omphaloskepsis]

21. Jesus, do you think about anything besides pussy?

Desperation is visible.

Are you that horny, or do you want to get back at (replace) the ex that badly?

[HEyHEY]

23. It's just joking around man

Do you really think I would ask for advice from a board a guy like you would be reading?

[ronnykmarshall]

24. He thinks about tits too!

Good God!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

26. Whoa - a little harsh there eh?

what'sa matter with you?

[jobycom]

22. Offer them a ride in your Lotus.

The one in your garage in the Bahamas.

[mentalsolstice]

28. Definitely don't tell them you have only one testicle

or a third testicle...whether or not it's the case. I knew someone that did this, hoping to work up sympathy/challenge...talked to his "victims", the usual response was ick! Not that they weren't compassionate people...it was just TMI.
