[Fredslist] UPDATE to "Using our Collective Brains"

[Tessa Marquis]

Hello Hive!

I have done more research and hope to make fewer typos now.

My intern Kate wants to focus on MicroEconomics and Environment.

She is capable of interning for a professor, an environmental group, or any
somewhat related company doing research. She is an excellent math and
science student (but not a total nerd), and is learning a lot of computer
programs here at our office. Since she doesn't have a car yet, we need to
stick with the MetroNorth corridor.

Keep in mind that she 15 plus one and a half months, so I want a good safe
place for her to work say 3 days a week to gain the experience and
credentials she will need to get into the college of her choice.

Subject: [Fredslist] Using our Collective Brains

 

There are many studies of bees involving their swarms and behavioral
activity regarding crowd mentality, but in Political Blogging and computer
tech circles there is a use of "Hive Intelligence". Most often this is used
in open-source software development but sometimes it is rally effective in
the manner that FredsList functions: informational resource groups.

So here it goes, dear network:

I am a big proponent of mentoring in the workspace. In our 20 years of this
company, I have always had at least one paid intern from a local high school
or college. The goal is to teach them office skills, add to their resume
skills list, and find them connections for their future careers.

I am proudest of the 16 year old we helped to achieve her current position
as a Congressional Page in Washington DC for the remainder of the school
year. To replace her, I hired 2 high school juniors, who are currently
exploring their options for college and careers. Erin knows she wants to
write and is looking at Journalism and English - preferably at Barnard or
NYU. I can get her some startere ork this summer, I think. Kate, however, is
less sure what she wants to do. Yesterday I used a conversational crowbar to
get the idea of Economics out of her. 

Great. Like I have any CT contacts in economics for a high school intern
this summer!

Gotham Hive Mates?  New Haven County or along the MetroNorth Corridor for
this summer. 

Did I mention that she is very smart and multi-talented, just a little soft
spoken with adults. I should be able to solve that by June.
