I’d also suggest the intern try for contract jobs first. With less risk to the employer, a shallower resume can suffice.
Good idea, I'll file that one away. Lots of 6-month help desk jobs out there.
With this particular intern, I didn't want to waste a lot of time with him. "Over-entitled" and "not very bright" make for a bad combination.
A couple of years worth of stocking shelves, or pouring coffee, will do him some good. Make him a little hungrier for the next opportunity, and will give him an appreciation for what success looks like, and what it takes to get there.
Or not. :-)
