The following is an excerpt from the Intern Queen's Q & A blog

Q: Hi Lauren,

I'm a recent college graduate and frantically on the lookout for a job implementing my degree in journalism whether it be in magazine writing, advertising or public relations. I've accepted the fact that many magazine publications offer internships first with room to grow within the company, but it has been difficult finding them. I understand that you specialize in internships specifically for students, but was wondering if you knew of any for college graduates. It would also be helpful if you knew of any in the Las Vegas area...I'm open to transfer especially to Los Angeles, but for the time being on the search for Las Vegas openings. Any information/feedback/advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for your time. I look forward to hearing from you! - Bobbie

Intern Queen: Bobbie ! I'm so glad you found my site and reached out to me. We are in the process of expanding the internship database to a variety of cities but unfortunately, we haven't reached the Las Vegas area ...yet. I do have advice for you. Many companies DO allow students that have already graduated to participate in their internship programs. The other good news is that you should contact your school immediately and see if you can get any sort of "transcript recognition" about the internship if you decide to do it. There might be some sort of "internship recognition" your school can provide. I suggest you do the following:

• Make a list of all of the potential magazines/companies/websites that you would like to work at in Las Vegas.
• Put this into an Excel document and add in their phone numbers. Note: Yp.yahoo.com is a great resource
• Call these companies and ask to speak with their human resource departments. Tell them you just graduated and you are interested in job opportunities and you'd love to email in your resume. They will either say YES or NO so it's worth a try. When you send your resume ask if you can set a general interview with that person - this is a sneaky way to get one foot slowly in the door !

Good luck and keep me posted !
