I want to let all of my potential interns know that it is NOT too late to get a Fall Internship. Many companies are just starting to put their feelers out for Fall Interns TODAY! I think it's an "After Labor Day" thing to do! People are realizing that they really need some great interns around to help get organized and get projects done. Today I'm happy to announce the following great internship opportunities:
WINKLER FILMS INTERNSHIP
APA, AGENCY OF THE PERFORMING ARTS, INC. INTERNSHIP
MANDALAY TELEVISION INTERNSHIP
WAM FILMS INTERNSHIP
CEDAR LAKE CONTEMPORARY BALLET INTERNSHIP
GERSH AGENCY LA INTERNSHIP
APARTMENT 3B PRODUCTIONS INTERNSHIPS
These are all right near your fingertips at www.quarterlife.com/intern !
If you are a LOS ANGELES STUDENT looking for an internship make sure to take advantage of these opportunities in the Fall. Come Summertime, you will have the "out of state" kids to compete with. Right now, the internships are much less competitive - still hard to get - but not as crazy as when summer rolls around.

College Students, get to your computers and start looking into internships for the Fall. I know that the California schools start in a few weeks - so when you have some downtime over the weekend scan the internships on www.quarterlife.com/intern. If we don't have what you are looking for shoot me an email at internqueen@quarterlife.com and I'll try to aim you in the right direction. We have some great partner-sites that we are working with. Sites like Entertainmentcareers.net, USAIntern.com, and InternWeb.com have some great resources as well.
New Opportunities !! If you are a writer-at-heart check out the internship at MORE MAGAZINE, and THE NIBBLE ONLINE MAG, both in New York City. Another cool opportunity for writers is The Irene Skolnick Literary Agency (also in NYC) - great for those who want to go into publishing. For potential interns who want MUSIC INTERNSHIPS check out the UFO/Invasion Group internship posting and the CLEAR CHANNEL Internship. We are fully stocked on Entertainment Internships - so be sure to check out the ENTIRE list. Remember, if they are up there - they are still looking for interns.
I had lots of students asking me how many internships they should apply for today....My answer is, for the Fall Semester apply for at least 5 internships and then wait about one full week. If you haven't heard from any companies after one week I'd apply to five more. Companies tend to move faster with hiring interns for the Fall. Interns are harder to get because of everyone's crazed schedules. I never reccomend applying for only one internship - Especially when that one internship is at a popular company.

I got tons of resumes in today from potential fall internship candidates ! Very exciting ! Please continue to spread the word to your classmates and friends that they can apply for the internships they want through our site - and its completely FREE.
I wanted to post some questions that I'm answering for my "Q & A with the Intern Queen" on the EntertainmentCareers.net Internship Section...here goes:
Q: Hi I'm a Junior in High School and was wondering if it is possible for kids my age to get internships or if they usually only let college students in. If we can't get any internships what are some other options for us to get experience in the entertainment business?
A: Kudos to you for even asking me about internships while you are still in high school! Internships are becoming more and more popular for high school students. If your school gets out early in the afternoon than you might be able to put in a few afternoons per week at an internship. This is really up to the company. I would reccomend applying for a few different positions and clearly indicating in your resume and cover letter that you are in highschool but extremely passionate about the entertainment business and ready to take on a full load of school and your internship. Best of luck and keep me posted on what happens! Check our some of our opportunities on www.quarterlife.com/intern as well as the opportunities on Entertainment Careers.
Q: Are there any internship programs for non-students who would like to explore other career opportunities?
A: Some companies do have special guidelines for non-students to enter their programs. However, most internships in the entertainment industry are unpaid so companies feel that they must compensate students with college credit. You will have a better chance finding opportunities with paid internships because the company will feel like they are giving something back to you in return for your hardwork. Best of luck. And search for Paid internships on the Quarterlife site at www.quarterlife.com/intern.
In New Internship Opportunities, I have some great ones for all of you internship - hungry students! Today we posted the following internships on www.quarterlife.com/intern
BENDERSPINK INTERNSHIP

Attention Fall Interns! First, I want to congratulate you all on obtaining an internship for the fall. It takes a very goal-oriented, career-savvy individual to take on the commitment of a Fall Internship. So I'm very impressed with all of you. Now, I want to make sure that you and your employers get the most of our your Fall Internships. I reccomend NOT starting your internship until after the first week of classes. I know that you think you are a "Super Student" and can do one million things at once - but take it from another "I think I'm a Superhero" type and hold off one week. Just take one week to get your classes in line - I know that class schedules tend to change around the first week of school. Get your academics line, buy your schoolbooks, and do whatever you need to prepare for your busy Internship and School and Work (if you have a job) schedule. I promise - you will be busy enough in a few weeks. Tell your employer that you'd like to take the first week to focus on school and make sure that the hours that you've committed to the internship are going to work with your school schedule. They would rather you come in organized and ready to go then flustered because school is insane. Take a week off - promise ?
And if you don't have a Fall Internship yet - check out the listings on www.quarterlife.com/intern - we have plenty of employers looking for eager college students !

Are you constantly bruised, scraped, and loaded with adrenaline? If so, it's pretty likely that you're a reader of one of Transworld's magazines - Surf, Skateboarding, Snowboarding, RIDEbmx, Motocross, Quad Off-Road, or Business when you're taking some time to heal up before your next extreme adventure. Transworld has readership of over 4 million across these titles, which is surprising since you'd think most action sports enthusiasts would be too busy trying to break their next bone to sit down and read a magazine. With 7 great titles and a strong online presence, Transworld is a major player in extreme sports media. They don't have a unified internship program, but we've done some research to try to identify what kind of internships you might be able to snag with each of their magazines. Continue reading about Transworld...

Back before cell phones got all fancy and digital service just meant that you were able to send and receive text messages, I thought that it was important to have a dual band phone - analog and digital. I was often off fishing in rural areas where digital cell service was nonexistent, so I figured that it was better to have crappy service than no service. Although we've mostly moved into the digital age of cell phones, there are still all types of different cellular networks that require different frequencies and hardware to operate on. Vanu is a Cambridge, MA based company that is building a software based radio access network. What does that mean? Instead of requiring cellular providers to invest in new hardware for every network that they operate on, they can use one piece of a single reusable hardware platform to operate on multiple networks. Although the science behind this is way over our heads, we think that it sounds pretty slick. Continue reading about Vanu...

Are you a superhero whose alter ego happens to be looking for an internship? Just for cover, of course, because superheroes don't actually need to work. You've managed to keep it quiet through a couple years of college, but you need something to do between classes besides beating up villains and saving the world. Why not intern at the last place that they'd ever expect you to work - Marvel Enterprises. It's so obvious that it's completely unobvious. In all seriousness if you're not familiar with Marvel, they're "one of the world's most prominent character-based entertainment companies." They made their name in comic books, but they've expanded into tv, movies, toys, video games, and more. Continue reading about Marvel Enterprises...
