Today Mara and I spent a lot of time at Renata's desk working with her. We got some resumes emailed to us for Spring interns who will fill our positions. We spent the day facebooking them and doing some background research. We read over there emails and gave our first impressions and then we broke down what we did and didn't like about each person. We made a list of pros and cons of all seven of the resumes and then kept narrowing it down from there. All of the resumes were sent in to us through an organization called Dream Careers, and it was kind of a turn off right away that these resumes were sent in by a teacher or an adviser of all of these students as opposed to them taking the time of finding us and sending in their resumes themselves. But we still went through and researched them. We narrowed down the seven applicants to two that we liked. Then in a few days, we'll set up a phone interview with them and me and Mara and then if we like them enough, we'll set up an interview with them and Renata. It was fun to see potential interns, but I'm not sure if any of them are the right fit.
