You Have A Great Name
Earlier tonight I received this email from a Kayla Knudson who is a copywriter at Cambell Mithun:
Hey Kayla!
It’s Kayla!
I also work in advertising.
I’m a copywriter at Campbell Mithun.
I was sent a link to the mima internship program no less than 3 times in one hour by friends curious as to why I was aspiring to become an intern.
I’m not.
You are!
Duh!
Anyway, I noticed that the link to your portfolio is broken.
And beings as we have the same name, I spotted the problem immediately.
You’re missing the S in our shared last name.
Just a friendly heads up from one Kayla Knudson to another.
Ha! I could keep going, but I’ll stop there with the KK jokes.
OH, and best of luck to you!
The other Kayla Knudson
I applied for this thing call The Intern Game where interns compete with other interns for a position. Interns post their website at www.theinterngame.com to become eligible. Obviously I am blind and forgot that I have an ‘s’ in my last name also in my portfolio website. And, I can’t fix it. I better make it up with an amazing portfolio and killer business cards, otherwise I will be known as that blonde girl with the broken link.
My response? :
Hi there Kayla.
Small world. Thanks for telling me. I can’t fix it myself, because I can’t edit anything. Hopefully the Intern Game/MIMA people would be nice enough to fix it for me.
At one point in my life (2 years ago) I attempted to add all the Kayla Knudson’s on Facebook. Just for fun. There’s only about 5 of us.
You have a great name.
-Kayla
