I get a dozen emails a week from college students asking for internships. No, I don’t need interns (already had some and not needed any more).

how do I make this stop?



EDIT: one of the students said they found me on Axial. I think that's the source of the inbound, FYI.


EDIT #2: yes, I know how to setup an email filter. Already done.

Tighten your Gmail or Outlook server to stop receiving so many external recipients: https://apps.google.com/supportwidget/articlehome?hl=en&article_url=https%3A%2F%2Fsupport.google.com%2Fa%2Fanswer%2F7380041%3Fhl%3Den&assistant_id=generic-unu&product_context=###-###-#### &product_name=UnuFlow&trigger_context=a

I often receive requests from U of Chicago B-School interns and keep them because they may one day be in a position of authority; I might need to hire them later, or they might want to buy my company. It's a small world. Good luck!

I believe its all part of the journey. Imagine if you are Mark Cuban or Daymond John? Probably be more concerned if it drops away. Just be encouraged that the better your profile (which is what you want sellers to see) the more you will get such traffic.
