The New York Intern Project 2012 | Affect Strategies, NYC

The New York Intern Project 2012 launches this Monday!!!

Last year, I was a contestant for  “The New York Intern Project, a competition to become a summer intern for a New York City Based PR company, Affect Strategies. Applying for this internship was not the conventional task of writing a cover letter, getting recommendations and submitting a resume... “ -Tiffany Lan, Girls In Tech Blog

The New York Intern Project 2012 will launch this Monday (3/26) on bit.ly/nyintern.  I can’t believe it’s been a year since my PR campaign in 2011.

I almost hit rock bottom, but someone from my past showed up for me and called me out on one thing that I was doing wrong ; I was running my mouth more than taking action. My first lesson comes from a reference to the article here : #5 Don’t Run Your Mouth How can someone who wants to be a writer not run their mouth? I was living a par
