A year ago, I dropped out of Carnegie Mellon to teach myself web development. I taught myself some stuff, but now I realize that I cannot go about it alone. My dream was to create a social media app that connects not only acquaintances together, but complete strangers. I am a greedy guy. I want to get to know cool people because I am so damn lonely. Literally have no friends because I deleted my own Facebook to focus on myself.
Now, I realize that Facebook has built an amazing app. I want to help the company to continue to grow. I have only the most honest and pure intentions. I do not want to get a high salary. I just want to be a part of something bigger than myself and contribute in any way I can.
So my fellow forum members. (I actually know most of you, but decided to make a new account with my nickname) Can you guide me into getting an internship at one of the most prestigious companies in the whole world. I am still young, 21 years old, so I am not too anxious to cut off the slow lane yet. I have amazing ideas on how to make Facebook a better company and I believe in the investments that Facebook has made like oculus and Instagram. Facebook has built an empire that will last and I simply want to help it become a better company. I will make sure that Facebook stays pure.
My plan is to send emails to all the recruiters first. I write my emails in the most pure way, no guise at all. I want to start from the bottom at Facebook and work myself up. I have some measly web development skills, but my greatest skill is in communication. See I am so lonely that I love writing emails and talking with people. If given the chance, I would work in customer service first and then transition to a job with greater responsibility. Who else should I cold email? I do not want to apply anywhere else. Google, Amazon and other companies do not share my vision, so I would feel out of place there.
In this time, companies lack loyalty. With me they would be getting just that because I believe in Facebook's vision to connect family and friends together. I get that some of you are hesitant to use the app because of privacy violations, but I must counter with all the good and convenience that Facebook has provided. Deleting Facebook made me realize how much I took it for granted. So I want to work for Facebook and make it even better. Facebook started with a great idea, but now it needs new ones. I want to help make them happen.
PS. I reenrolled in a college recently, so don't worry. I am no longer a drop out. I'll graduate by the time I am 23 or 24.
