Charlie Sheen’s social media internship, that’s what.
On Monday, March 7, celebrity Charlie Sheen tweeted that he was looking to hire a social media intern. Or, a “#winning INTERN with #tigerblood,” to quote him exactly.
Sheen has been all over the news for his recent rants and raves ranging from the “goddesses” living in his house to his fellow members of “Two and a Half Men,” but this single tweet may have gotten more attention than the rest. In a period of 48 hours, this internship received over 74,000 applicants, according to the New York Daily News.
As someone who is currently on the job hunt, I’ll apply to any sort of employment opportunity I see. But I’ve never heard of any single place getting 74,000 applicants – especially, let’s be honest, some place that may not even be a real employment opportunity. But it definitely goes to show what young people in their early 20s are looking for in a job – a good time. I know a handful of people who were part of that 74,000 people, and that’s the one thing they were excited about if they got it. There aren’t too many things that can be guaranteed from a Charlie Sheen internship, but a crazy time would definitely be one of them.
