Today, Widgets hires the most creative minds in business and technology through its famous internship program. Widgets interns work hands-on to brainstorm new products, do market research, prepare advertising campaigns, and much more.

Many apply to be an intern at Widgets, but only the best and most hardworking are chosen to join the company full-time. Do you have what it takes?
