“All Eyes On My Morning Jacket” feat. the Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestra enlisted the help of the band and their fans to shoot footage of My Morning Jacket’s festival performance using digital cameras and cell phones from all angles.

My take on this video is that when people can see the differences they make and get credit for them, they are more than happy working for you. On the other hand, if people think their presence doesn’t make any difference, they would just wonder why they are even here.

Naturally for us, this applies to our fall round of intern recruitment.

5 months ago I started working at For Art’s Sake Media as an intern without having previous related working experiences. I was realistic enough to know where I stood and what I had to offer. Coming to work hearing people throwing around terms and stuff that made me wonder what they were, I knew I had to make a difference in myself before I can make a difference in the company. I did whatever responsibilities came to me and learned from everything, listened to people’s conversation, asked questions and read a bunch of stuff, trying to make myself more “web-savvy” and “in-the-know”. This is a good learning environment if you like entrepreneurship, Web 2.0, social media, Lil Wayne and Burning Man. The key is to be positive, proactive, and a little bit wild.

Good luck to the upcoming new blood.
