"We'll be in touch towards the beginning of next week..."
Or maybe you'll just tell me twenty-four hours later.

Hello Rebecca,



It was good meeting with you yesterday to discuss the Diversity and Global Change Undergraduate Internship with the Center for Gender in Global Context (GenCen). We are pleased to tentatively offer you the position beginning Fall Semester 2010. As discussed during your interview, this offer is contingent on our receiving US Department of Education Title VI funding. We should know some time in June and will confirm with you as soon as we hear. You will work 10-12 hours per week at a rate of $8.00 per hour. If you accept this offer, please let us know as soon as possible so we can notify other candidates that the position is filled.



Thank you and we look forward to working with you.

Hmmph. Seems like "GenCen" should at least offer something approximating a living wage. I just hired six students at $10/hour...

It's intended to be supplementary income. Most places of their level don't even bother paying interns. The system is fantastic, as you well know - we pay them thousands of dollars in tuition money to have an official internship for us to place on resume. Great. Take our money and our labor.

Or pay for all my tuition and then pay me for my labor. I'm okay with that version. Good gad, I'm a privileged little twerp.
