It is one internship in which you're unlikely to be asked to do the photocopying. And where the new hire has no hope for a job at the end of it – not least because it only lasts for one day. What's more, the manager has not promised the chance to learn crucial skills that will help you develop your career, but "that we'll do some fun shit. Eat some Roscoe's chicken and waffle."It is one internship in which you're unlikely to be asked to do the photocopying.

The scheme is to promote the rapper's charity, Snoop Youth Football League, which brings the gridiron game – not soccer – to innercity children between the ages of five and 13. "Through sport, children learn the values of teamwork, good sportsmanship, discipline and self-respect, and the importance of academics. Each year, we have regular season games, playoffs and our own Super Bowl," according to the charity.The scheme is to promote the rapper's charity, Snoop Youth Football League, which brings the gridiron game – not soccer – to innercity children between the ages of five and 13.

When it comes to Snoop, naturally, everything is not quite as simple as it seems, not least because potential interns will find different criteria for entry depending on where they look. Announcing the position on Reddit, where Snoop posts as Here_Comes_the_King, he wrote: "'Twas the season for giving! I'm Snoop 'n I'm ready to read ur favourite Xmas stories 'n give 1 of you an internship wit me … let's help these kids!!" Does that mean the best Christmas story wins the internship? Apparently not, because the rapper then wrote: "If you support the campaign wit a small donation, you'll have the chance to win an internship with ME for a day in LA!! We'll get lunch at Roscoe's [House of Chicken and Waffles], play some video games, plan out world domination 'n decorate some trees."When it comes to Snoop, naturally, everything is not quite as simple as it seems, not least because potential interns will find different criteria for entry depending on where they look.

Does this mean you have to donate money to get the position? Perhaps not, because the terms and conditions on the website hosting the competition, Prizeo, say: "The winner will be chosen at random using Prizeo's certified random-number generator. No payment or contribution is necessary to enter or win. Contributing will not improve the chances of winning." The smallprint reveals that donations actually earm you more chances to enter the draw for the internship; the highest donors will get 100 entries each.Does this mean you have to donate money to get the position?

The winner will be flown with a friend to Los Angeles and put up in a hotel at Snoop's expense. "You'll get a look inside the Snoop world and help me get some work done – maybe on the set of my news network, GGN Hood News, or backstage with me when I'm DJ Snoopadelic."The winner will be flown with a friend to Los Angeles and put up in a hotel at Snoop's expense.
