(CBS/AP) Shortly before Charlie Sheen was fired from "Two and a Half Men," the actor announced that he's looking to make a hire of his own - he's accepting applications for an intern.

Sheen tweeted Monday that he wants to hire someone to assist him. The tweet is a paid-for endorsement from Internships.com.

"I'm looking to hire a #winning INTERN with #TigerBlood," he wrote, adding a link to the application.

The partnership was arranged by start-up ad.ly, which connects celebrities with advertisers for social media ads. Sheen officially signed on with ad.ly after the Beverly Hills, Calif.-based company consulted with him last week to familiarize him with Twitter.

Ad.ly and Internships.com declined to discuss the financial arrangements. Micro-endorsements can net a celebrity anywhere from $1,000 to $50,000 per tweet.

Warner Bros. announced in a statement Monday that "after careful consideration" it had terminated Sheen's services from "Two and a Half Men," effective immediately.
