As an aside, did anyone else get the impression that for an employer, asking an intern to babysit your kids is a shit-test that she utterly failed?

If I were an employer and I had ten interns in front of me (and I needed a babysitter), I would absolutely ask for a show of hands for anyone willing to look after my kids for the night. That would be a fantastic way to weed out at least one unprofessional, low energy kiss-ass from the pack and get some free/cheap labour at the same time.

The correct response should be "I'm honoured that you would trust with with your kids but I'm not a babysitter, I'm an (x), sir."

This slacker seems to think that the job market is like university.

"I just enrol, right?"

Yes, she failed 100%, the moment she took the babysitting job person stopped seeing her as a X profession and started to see her just a babysitter.

You see many of these interns in DC, picking food, clothes, they really never do anything job related, they are just maids to someone with a real career, and the people in DC know these young people are so desperate to be in DC they just do anything they want.
