I Just Want to, Like, Work for a Magazine

The following is my paraphrasing of part of an interview between one of my magazine's managing editors and a potential intern, as told to me by one of our graphic designers:

Managing Editor: So, how proficient would you say you are in working with computers?

Intern Candidate: Um, I don't know, I've never been tested.

Managing Editor: Okaaay ... Well, your application says that you'd like to write some articles for us. What kind of topics would you be interested in writing about?

Intern Candidate: Um, I don't know ... I just want to be like, the next Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City, you know?
