Not me. I would imagine it depends where though.

Hmm...they might and they might not. They might just not bother with interns but then do it if they're thinking of offering you a perm. position. Where you gonna be working buddy? Location-wise in the city I mean.

Well, this "buddy" was more of a guy that I was talking to one day when I used to be in sales about computers and shit. He gave me his card and told me he'd hook it up.. so.. he's more of an acquaintance
My best friend's sister works there..and I asked her about it, she said she got tested (for a permanent position..)
