Intern for Steve Jobs: Report

By Daniel Redding
May 10, 2009

I had this genius idea the other day while I was thinking about my future. I realized that as awesome as the Redding Brothers are, I don’t need to rest my entire future on them, nor on a job. So (and I know this is cliché) I decided on Jobs. Steve Jobs. A highly respected business master, the former CEO of Apple (on medical leave). And the CEO of Disney. I respect him greatly because he started my favorite company, who makes my favorite products, and because he runs his business like how he is as a person. He is very confident and has his own ideas about what should be done, and he sticks to them. Not dissimilar to George Bush. He made his mistakes, and what people thought were mistakes, but he stuck by his choice no matter what the press said. The same is with Steve Jobs. He left Apple for many reasons, few of which I know, but I know that the company itself has great growth, even in the depression. The last earnings report stated that Apple had the most profitable (all-time) non-holiday quarter this last quarter, IN A DEPRESSION. This is VERY substantial.

So, how do I go about doing this, and why do I think he would intern me?
I must first figure out exactly what I am going to say to him, exactly how to convince him that I am worth his time. THEN I shall work on figuring out how to Email/phone/contact him.

What makes me think that I have a chance?
Steve Jobs is a very rare person, the skills he has are not taught in any type of school/college/university. So he can’t just hire a person to help him with what he wants to achieve, he can’t hire someone to bounce ideas off of. Anyone he hired would be fake and scripted, and would be to in awe of him or insulted by him that they would prove no use to him, or could not stand him. That is not saying that people like that aren’t out there, just that you can’t just hire someone like what he needs. This is where I come in. I don’t have a college degree, or even a highschool diploma, but that doesn’t matter. He doesn’t need someone with that kind of knowledge. He needs someone willing to learn the SKILLS that he has, and use them and perfect them to work with him, to achieve great things. He needs someone not willing to just take his knowledge and use it, but also to challenge him to perfect his knowledge. So not only do I wish to intern for Steve Jobs, but also become his best friend.
Tell me what you think.
