Read on Twitter
No more will I live in fear of internships finding my Twitter. I'm even going to take it one step further. I'm Hugh-Jay, and I'm looking for an urban planning/transpo internship for summer 2021. Here's my resume and why you want me on your team. (1/9) https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dPKkdsgMrnuGCr4e5hKOuEBr1fQqzhMHlNrCcUSUfpw/edit
About me: I'm Hugh-Jay. I'm a second year at Northwestern University pursuing a B.S in Civil Engineering, a M.S in Transportation Systems (through the BS/MS program), a minor in Sociological Studies, and the Integrated Marketing Certificate. (2/9)
For fun, I like consuming media. I'm an avid video game player, and I organize Smash Bros tournaments for @NUEsports, but I also love watching lots of movies and listening to tons of music. I write about pop culture/entertainment for both @nbn_tweets and @metaverse_media. (3/9)
I think my frustrations with the traditional application process is that it's impossible for personality to shine through in a cover letter. At the same time, I think this Twitter is a perfect archive to highlight my personality, interests, and strengths as an individual. (4/9)
I'm extremely outgoing, and I love growing and cultivating communities. In fact, the online space I run with my friends even made it into the lede of a Washington Post article! (5/9) https://twitter.com/chickfilasauced/status/1373338973939118080
I'm extremely passionate about my interests - of which public transportation is a massive one - and it can be seen in all the content that I generate on this account. (6/9) https://twitter.com/chickfilasauced/status/1366082542919704583
Hell, I even went viral (for lying, mind you, but it still counts!) (7/9) https://twitter.com/chickfilasauced/status/1377415615787331588
One might question this Twitter approach, but it's critical to know that I got into the field of urban planning because of an online space, and I'm sure I'm not alone. I know how to engage with a future generation that will create equitable and sustainable urban solutions. (8/9)
I definitely don't know everything though, and I'm ready to learn from industry professionals to fix and improve urban spaces. If you're a planning firm looking for an intern that's motivated, outgoing, and knowledgeable, I'm down to work with you. My DMs are open. (9/9)
tl;dr: this twitter account will let you know more about me than any other applicant you have. hire me. plus this twitter was already PG-13 anyway, so nothing too inappropriate is on here! https://twitter.com/chickfilasauced/status/1374702346534522888
