Chance the Rapper is a busy guy, these days.
The Grammy-winning artist has become an outspoken activist on behalf of Chicago Public Schools, meeting with Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner, donating $1 million to an arts program at CPS and putting real time into improving the outlook for the city where he grew up.
And now he needs some help.
On Monday, Chance tweeted that he was looking for an intern and, once resumes started pouring into his mentions, provided instructions for applicants.
I'm looking for an intern, someone with experience in putting together decks and writing proposals

Apparently some people were scared off by the word “intern,” because Chance clarified Tuesday that the position is a “job.”
I know "intern" has a negative connotation but the job I'm looking to fill doesn't really have an official title yet. But it is a "job".

Though Chance hasn’t provided any more details, it does not sound like he is looking for someone to drive him around, make coffee and maybe hold the weed. He wants someone with real work experience who can help him accomplish his goals for Chicago and its children.
So by being Chance’s intern, you’d not only be working for a famous rapper, you’d be making life better for underserved kids. Sounds like a pretty good job.
Given Chance’s fame and the fact that he seems like he’d be a pretty awesome guy to work for, we have a feeling he’s about to receive A LOT of emails.
