Case Study Scenario: Your hard work has brought you two internship offers. Last week, you were offered an internship at Lanham Associates in a city in another state. You asked for a week to think about it, but said you were really interested. Two days later, Infonews called and offered you a really interesting internship in their company based in your city. Infonews is a smaller organization, so you’ll get to do a wider variety of things there. While the job at Lanham Associates is better paid, you would have to relocate for three months and the work they would give you seems limited and less interesting. Write a letter to Richard Lanham, President of Lanham Associates, refusing the internship but striving to maintain goodwill. After all, you might want to work there in the future and it’s a growing company.
