<p>I hired an intern last summer who only worked at a retail store. He was a clerk at a wireless retail store. Without getting paid for it, he designed an inventory system for the store during his spare time. It created regular reports to flag which items needed to be re-ordered. He also came up with a package to marekt to incoming freshmen at his school. Just because it’s a minimum wage job, one could still show initiative and leadership. I hired him over other applicants because of extra projects he did at the retail store.</p>
