Twins stole the White Sox email address I guess lol. Interesting way to try to grab a competitive advantage.
Oops, my fault. That’s fixed now.
Probably not really “hiring” as much as looking for slave labor.
Well, voluntary slave labor. But yeah, they probably aren’t going to pay a market rate for those qualifications. Those who need/want earned income commensurate with the value of their skills need not apply!
“The pay rate of our internships is $12.00/hr. Is this acceptable to you?”
