How To Get An Internship?

[Bl4ckSh33pParticipant 274]

I’m finding MGTOW advice a lot more useful than my dad’s because no one here is pushing me to conform to a system that wants to ruin me. I’m interested in getting an internship at a specific company that does anime localization. My goal is to gain experience working inside that industry and see how voice actors do their job. I’ve never applied for an internship before so what are some tips and advice you guys could give me?

I hate to break it to you, but what people call "love" is just a chemical reaction that compels animals to breed. It hits hard Morty then it slowly fades leaving you stranded in a failing marriage. I did it. Your parents are going to do it. Break the cycle Morty, rise above, focus on science. -Rick Sanchez

Do some research on how to create a resume and cover letter. Send them to your target company by its preferred route.

BTW, I sent a very similar reply earlier, but it disappeared.

Keep the dialogue to a minimum.

Meaning… if you’re a talker, learn to keep it zipped around professionals. I emphasis this because I worked in a field that that had “apprentices” (interns). And some of them shot their mouths off as if they ran the place. It wasn’t even what they said or how they said it… they were just not “on the inside” yet. So while you can still be very active, participate and belong just as much, it’s a respected state to remain as much of an observer as much as possible.

And over about 8 years… I noticed the loudest apprentices didn’t get contracts.
But the ones who shut the f~~~ up did.

This may not apply or be as rigid in your field. But there is real value in “knowing your place”.

Explain this to a woman, and she will think you’re being sexist and cruel.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

You keep your mouth shut (once you get a start) because you learn with your eyes and ears. Keep a respectful quietness but that doesn’t mean switch off. Observe everything.

Dress to where you are headed not where you have been. Invest a few quid in the right gear – good pair of shoes, matching belt, decent shirts and trousers. Fake it until you make it.

CVs and cover letters often get intercepted by HR and past over. Open evenings, events, seminars etc are the places to network.

Also, try just turning up at the companies you have identified and see who you could speak to (“I was just passing by on my way to *competitor* and thought I would call in on the off chance”). Pick your day and never a busy Monday morning.

Mornings generally bosses are busy and dealing with fires. Tuesday / Wednesday afternoons for example may be a better time. Have some b~~~~, dress smart and speak confidently but politely to the admin girls at the front desk (they will be around your age so use your charm). These are the girls who can get you a chance to speak to the bosses or their PA’s.

You might get a couple of bites and see who you need to see rather than end up in an inbox of some useless HR c~~~. Excuse my language but you’ll see what I mean in a few years.

Good luck.

One thing that has always made things like this easier for me – be it a job interview, a business meeting, or really any social thing – is to walk into a room assuming that everyone in it already knows you and likes you.  In other words, be Norm walking into Cheers.

It’s hard to explain how much of an impact making that initial mental adjustment can have.
