Entry 9

Summary of The Internship




Billy and Nick seek employment after being laid off from their positions as watch salesmen when their employer goes out of business. Billy then applies for an internship at Google for the two of them, and they are accepted. They will spend the summer competing in teams against other interns, in a variety of tasks, and only the members of the winning team will be guaranteed jobs with Google. The team is led by Lyle, who constantly tries to act hip in order to hide his insecurities. Mr. Chetty, the head of the internship program.

When he begins attending technical presentations, he takes a real interest in the material. While the teams prepare to staff the technical support hotline, only Billy feels at a loss. He tutors Billy on the technical information. During the task, Billy is comfortable with the material, but his team receives no score because he failed to properly log his calls for review. Dejected, Billy leaves Google to pursue a new sales opportunity with his former boss. The final task is announced as a sales challenge. The teams must sign the largest possible company to begin advertising with Google. The team is stunned when Nick tells them that Billy has left, and they declare that they do not want to do the task without him. Nick convinces Billy to return, and Billy leads the team to show a local pizzeria owner how Google can help connect him with potential customers and how Internet resources can help him expand the business while remaining true to his professional values.

The team arrives during the final assembly just as the winners are to be announced; but the official rules allow them to present their results even at the last moment. The screen behind Chetty shows all the team members dancing with giant afros and Billy is throwing pizza at everyone. Chetty recognizes that although the pizzeria is not a large business, its potential is now limitless because it has embraced technology. Nick, Billy, and his team declared the winners and will receive jobs at Google.
