Feisty It Is!

After sending a downright ludicrous proposal for an MBA internship to Mark Hanson, Sony’s VP of VAIO Product Marketing, I got a response tonight. Whoo-hoo! Here’s to half-baked ideas on how to find an internship when your internship center is failing you.

Mark Hanson responded with:

Brendon,

How could I possibly NOT remember you? Interesting proposal… I believe your suggestion and expertise would reside in a different division of Sony. I’ve forwarded your info to a couple of Sr Managers in the related divisions. I have also forwarded your resume to HR.

I wish you luck in your endeavor.

Mark Hanson
VP and GM of VAIO PM
Information Technology Product Division

Admittedly you could read some negative things into the response. For example: “How could I possibly NOT remember you?” Of course he remembers me. I spent nine months tracking him and his engineers down until I got a laptop design problem fixed for free for myself and a half dozen other disgruntled Sony customers. Sure he remembers me. But probably not fondly. Which perhaps explains why my “expertise would reside in a different division”.

Somewhere near, oh I don’t know…Guam? Shanghai?

That aside, I think I’ve answered the question proposed before: crazy or feisty? Feisty it is!
