UK-based entrepreneur Sam Byrne cold-applied for role of Nike CEO and was rejected, with the company saying several sections of his application raised concerns with its executive team. As Byrne's post on the rejection gained traction online, Nike replied again, offering a six-month internship within its marketing team. "Flights are booked. Your desk is ready. Bring your ideas," Nike said.
