Choose Your Bagels Wisely


One of the most highly publicized signs of Harlem’s revitalization came in 2001, when President Bill Clinton moved into his post-White House office space on 125th street. Since then, Clinton has made Harlem’s agenda his own – speaking in my neighborhood on issues such as childhood obesity, small business initiatives and tax credits for low-income residents.

Clinton’s words have resonated with many in Harlem, but it’s a few particular words that are causing a stir today.

The William F. Clinton Foundation has posted an Internet job listing for unpaid interns. One item on the site promises "hands-on experience" and says the interns have the “responsibility of interacting directly with the staff.”

Hmmm... Maybe next time the staff will consider interacting directly with an editor?

I visited that website a couple of weeks ago and the interns position caught my eye also. I thought it was kind of interesting that they had interns at all considering the controversy surrounding it in the past.

Good one, Bagel.

They put the ad on Jdate, as well. I saw it when I was browsing to check out the competition.
