Intern Sushi is trying to improve the often-horrible internship application/selection process, and it's expanding with full nationwide support, as well as adding new industries.Here's the idea: Resumes are pretty useless when it comes to choosing interns. Actually, they're pretty flawed in general, but they're particularly bad for internships, where employers are probably choosing one or two candidate from a large list of applicants whose resumes are going to look pretty similar (because they don't have much professional experience yet). Instead, with Intern Sushi, users are asked to create a profile that captures their personality and ambitions. That centerpiece of the profile is a short video, but users can include a portfolio of their work too. They can also create content tailored to a specific opening, like a video cover letter outlining why they really really really want that internship.
