> i've just applied for a job i think will be PERFECT for me right now - and i told them that. i probably won't even get interviewed for it lolz. i offered to work as a volunteer for up to 2 weeks to prove myself lmfao!!!LOL, I saw a TED talk about how offering to do free work is *the* best way to get your dream job. It's better than an internship because internships are very competitive. Just offering to do free work is unexpected and a lot of people will give you a chance if there isn't much risk to them.
