Jmmom…I want to congratulate your son! (TheDad…good for your D as well). I can’t relate so much to the “late” issue, but picking up on your point about looking online…my D is also doing an internship in her field this summer. She looked for internships online. However, the one that she is going to do is not one that had a listing. She found an internship for a firm in NYC, with offices in other major US cities. When she looked up the firm in NYC online to learn more about it to gear her cover letter appropriately, she discovered on their site that they had an office in Paris as well. While there was no internship listed there, she chose to just write the Paris office blindly. She wrote them in French, as a matter of fact. They wrote her back and were interested and she had to send more things and she did and she was hired. She totally found it online, and it wasn’t even a listing for a job but she just wrote them. By the way, she never got the original internship in NYC that she had found online. She even found her apt. in Paris online. Times, they are a-changin’…
