I applied for many internships back when I still was a Junior in college (in Ohio). The company I am working for currently offered me a part-time job under the restriction of I had to study a 3-credit summer class & work at the same time. I spent all my earnings from that summer on the 3 credits, and I think I even paid couple hundreds of dollars out of my own pockets too. I did get some style test requests from some directors in LA before I graduated. But see, the thing is, I was an international student, it made job application harder than many of my American peers. The directors in LA wanted to hire someone who’s from the States specifically, and they didn’t want to offer me visa sponsorship because it’s too expensive and time-consuming. So… that went nowhere. (It was a little heartbreaking but I understood their standpoint.) 

If art is what you want to do, and it makes you happy, you should pursue it. Keep polishing your skills and applying for the job, even when you think you might not be qualified for the position. A lot of my industry peers got their jobs because of that. It is hard to break in the entertainment industry, I understand how stressful this might be for you right now. Don’t forget to network with other artists around you too. Some of them might be your future bosses or workmates. And you all can grow together as a group.

Her name is “Reality Leigh Winner” and she was a NSA Contractor. She passed a top secret NSA document to a news source (an article from The Intercept) that contains information about a Russian cyber-attack with one voting machine DAYS before the 2016 presidential election. This is considered the most detailed piece of proof regarding Russia’s interference with the elections to date. 

Here’s how the NSA document described how the Russians did the hacking: 

“As described by the classified NSA report, the Russian plan was simple: pose as an e-voting vendor and trick local government employees into opening Microsoft Word documents invisibly tainted with potent malware that could give hackers full control over the infected computers.

But in order to dupe the local officials, the hackers needed access to an election software vendor’s internal systems to put together a convincing disguise. So on August 24, 2016, the Russian hackers sent spoofed emails purporting to be from Google to employees of an unnamed U.S. election software company, according to the NSA report. Although the document does not directly identify the company in question, it contains references to a product made by VR Systems, a Florida-based vendor of electronic voting services and equipment whose products are used in eight states.
