Chad is Dead Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 Ok so I kinda bullshitted myself into an internship as a news correspondent. It's not real professional so I should be ok. It's just a hip hop website where I attend shows and write about them and also conduct interviews every once and awhile. I get to choose the shows I go to so that's cool but I have never wrote about an event besides a war or something else that happened in the past. I have also never conducted an interview. So basically I'm asking just asking for any advice. And If anyone would like to make me do a horrible job at interviewing, then come to CBR's on Saturday night. Its a mixed genre show consisting of rock/hip hop. $5 to get in, starts at nine. And of course when I actually do a write up I will make sure all spelling and grammer is correct. The end.

Kevin R. Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 LOL. I am no help, but that is kind of funny. I guess if you are a generally cool guy (guessin so or you couldn't have bullshitted into a job) you could pull off a good interview. I would guess take good ass notes and/or tape record it. I am thinking if you bullshitted into a job, you can bullshit through an interview. I bet the hard part will be writing shit in a way that is interesting and not just , "So, XXXX, why did you do XXXX?" "Well, because XXXX and I love hoes."

SPLN SUX Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 be discriptive, but stay away from similes... light metaphorical usage is pretty effective. Read a couple SCC mags, they do a pretty good job at keep my attention with the reading, and i really hate reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mensan Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 Every interview I have ever been a part of is BS thrown left to right by both parties. You have done nothing wrong (Unless you forged a college degree or something). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chalk it up to experience and see if you can't bs your way into a job that'll pay for a trip overseas before they find out you suck? If you're not the type who easily embarasses, then go for it.\!
