When we posted the details of our Personal Internship programme, we knew it would be popular but we didn't know it would be that popular! In the past two weeks, we've been inundated with resumes/cvs from the UK, Canada, the US, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India and China.
Both Mario and I have been impressed with the level of applicants and the sheer weight of work and educational experiences. But we've been faced with difficult choices because we're limiting the personal interns to one a month. So after much 'umming' and 'aahing' and speaking to personal interns over the phone, we've selected our first personal intern who will be working with us in July.
In the end we plumped for an Italian. He impressed us every step of the way from his initial approach in English which was extremely professional, his conversation with Mario in Italian and his desire and determination to gain valuable insight and practical experience in the Italian business world.
Our August and October positions have also been filled so we're now selecting for September, November and December. Email [email protected] if you want this fantastic opportunity to work alongside Mario.
Awesome! Will you be letting your interns post on your blog? Or better yet, will they have their own blog? It would be a good way to spread the word even further.

Jason, that's a great idea. I'll see what I can do. I'm sure it would be useful for other would-be interns.
