Bread and Butter is the reason why I wanted to get into Public Relations. I admired their story, what they did, and how rapidly they have been expanding. They were the reason why I decided to go back to school and pursue a career in PR and Digital Marketing. For six years I worked hard to hopefully open my own firm like them or at least try to intern for them. Months before I got my degree, I applied to be an intern and thought I would never hear back from them. Surprisingly I did and I even got a phone interview for the LA Office! Unfortunately, I didn’t get the internship position. It was fine because it was an honor to at least get a call, but I had to take off a few stars because of the way they handled this situation. They stated they were looking for an intern and the woman who was interviewing me was nice and sweet, but she was buttering me up (no pun intended) saying I was a perfect candidate, I was what they were looking for, they wanted to see my blog from class and then said we will keep in contact and never did. I was left hung to dry. I found out a week later I didn’t get the position from a LinkedIn post instead of being told directly. Please don’t ignore who you’re interviewing. If you found your candidate, let the other candidates know. Just send the “We regret to inform you,” letter or phone call. They won’t blow up. They will accept it and move on. This company seems like a great company and I will always have a soft spot for the firm that pushed me to my career path, but I hope that they improve their HR skills for future interns and employers.

It was a very quick process but receiving the offer took a little long. Very nice interviewer, would recommend. How many words is 30 words my god. I think this must be 30 words by now.
