I love that you pointed out that offering “exposure” and an opportunity to break into the biz seems kind of counterintuitive when the ad requires a resume and a laundry list of qualifications. How do the advertisers not see this?

I personally love the ads that require 2 years' experience, a degree in Journalism or Communications, two languages and 24/7 commitment. You are to write, edit, proofread, conduct interviews, manage the website, do all the admin work, market research, work at events in the off-hours, manage photographers, sell ads, and of course know Powerpoint, Excel and Photoshop.

And your reward for all the skills, experience and juggling they demand of you?
