Monica Lewinsky, who was at the centre of the White House sex scandal during Bill Clinton's presidency, has poked fun at the controversy on Twitter by giving career advice.

According to Gulf News, an American psychologist Adam Grant @AdamMGrant asked for career-related question through on the micro-blogging site to which Lewinsky responded.




He posted: “What’s the worst career advice you’ve ever received? Mine: (1) Don’t waste your time helping others. (2) Drop 90% of your projects, because you can only do one at a time. (3) Don’t write a book.”

Lewinsky replied using a flushed face emoticon: “An internship at the white house will be amazing on your resume.”

Her response garnered over 1,200 likes and 7,800 retweets as she almost got Clinton removed from office.




Over 20 years ago, Clinton and the White House intern were involved in one of the most talked about sex scandals.




Twitterati appreciated that Lewinsky, who was involved in a scandal that gained global notoriety with the former president, when she was 22 years old and interning at the White House, seems to have got past it.
