As "The Intern Queen" I certainly had my share of BORING internships. You know, the internships where you can barely keep your eyes open and have to keep slapping yourself across the face to stay awake. The internships where looking at the computer makes you want to take a long nap and sleep forever. The internships where you are told to "hang around" which means sit down and do absolutely nothing so you start texting everyone you know and saving random contacts in your phone.

TURN A BORING INTERNSHIP INTO A GREAT ONE

1.STOP DOING NOTHING. START DOING SOMETHING. Internship coordinators don't always realize that their interns are just sitting around. Usually the person put in charge of internships is an entry-mid level executive. They have tons of responsibilities on top of being in charge of the interns and they often forget that the interns have been left to do nothing. It's your job to be an appropriate reminder. If you find yourself sitting around, go up to your internship coordinator and ask if he/she needs any help. If they don't need any help ask if you can go around and offer to help other executives in the office. This way you are exposed to more tasks and more important, more people!

2. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOUR RESOURCES. Yes, sitting around for long periods of time completely sucks. However, think of that time as your personal time to advance your career. Your company probably has dozens of resources for your field of interest that you don't normally have at your finger tips. For example, at the television networks and movie studios they most likely have daily subscriptions to the trade publications. Most industries do have trade publications and different professional associations that put out tons of reading material each year. Ask your internship coordinator if you can review these materials. You will find the names of people you should know, your industry news, and articles to make note of. Use this time to really educate yourself on your chosen field.

Persistence is a key attribute for applicants in any kind of job market. When talking about a recession, persistence is a necessity for those seeking internships and/or jobs in a shrinking job market. Joe McDevitt, an upcoming senior at Lander University who is interested in a career in sports medicine, tells us how his internship strategy and persistence landed him a summer internship at the Buffalo Bills Training Camp at St. John Fisher College near Rochester, NY.

First off, Joe started his internship search by sending his resume and cover letter to all 32 NFL teams in January. It's important to note that Joe chose to send his application materials to all NFL teams rather than just a choice few and that he also sent them out in January rather than waiting until March or April. He received a response from over 20 teams saying that, unfortunately, they had no positions available. Three weeks later, the Buffalo Bills contact him again and told him that they had an opening and asked if he was still interested. I believe that Joe's strategy and persistence in applying to all 32 teams greatly increased his chances of succes in finding an internship in his chosen career field and with an organization in which he really wanted to work.

As a kid, I always enjoyed a good playground. What kid wouldn't? It's your first sense of danger. Monkey bars, slides, and contraptions that spin you around until you want to throw up may not seem all that dangerous now, but I'm sure that there was a point in your life when you were intimidated. And that's why you grew up to be such a successful young adult--all that time on the playground. PlayPumps International also brings success to children through playground equipment, albeit in a very different way. Of course they enable kids to enjoy childhood and have fun in the face of danger just like all playgrounds do, but they are also helping to end poverty in developing nations around the world. You'll see why in a second. Continue reading about PlayPumps International...

I never thought that I'd hear the words "city" and "harvest" used together as often as I do these days, but now it seems that every city has a farmers market, urban vegetable gardens, and restaurants with hyper-local cuisine. Oddly enough, City Harvest means something slightly different when they talk about harvesting food. They are "a non-profit organization founded in 1982″ and "the world's first and New York City's only food rescue program." What does that mean? It means that this year they will "collect 26 million pounds of excess food from all segments of the food industry, including restaurants, grocers, corporate cafeterias, manufacturers, and farms." They're harvesting anything and everything that they can (as long as it's up to their food safety standards) to feed New York City's hungry. It's a brilliant idea, and the organizations longevity proves that it's working. Continue reading about City Harvest...

Take a second and think of your favorite toy growing up. Was it a Barbie? Matchbox Car? American Girl Doll? View-Master? Magic 8 Ball? Rock'em Sock'em Robots? Hot Wheels? Polly Pocket? Even if it wasn't one of those, there's a good chance that it was made by Mattel. I'm sure that you've heard of the El Segundo, CA headquartered toy company before, but I bet you never realized just how many toys they actually make. Not only do they have some of the biggest toy names in the world, but they're also behind all of Fisher-Price's toys. If you always wanted to be like Tom Hanks in Big and work for a toy company, Mattel is your chance to live every child's dream. Continue reading about Mattel...

I don't know when wearing sweats started counting as "dressing up," but I'm pretty sure that it coincided with when Arleta, CA based Juicy Couture became popular. I guess if you're going to pay a bunch of money for a tracksuit, you've got to show it off. Ok, so I can't say that I love what Juicy Couture has done to popular fashion, but I have to respect it. They completely changed what it means to wear sweats, and they created a new market for high priced, super casual clothing. There's obviously more to the Juicy brand than just tracksuits, but when I hear the name Juicy, that's what I think of. Continue reading about Juicy Couture...

Are you into all things high tech? If so, you're going to love Atomic Public Relations, which has offices in San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York and London in addition to close affiliated network offices across Europe, Asia Pacific, China and Japan. From consumer technology to the Internet to technology in the entertainment industry, Atomic PR has "worked alongside a number of brands that have re-defined existing categories and created entirely new ones." Named a Top 50 PR Firm in 2009 by PR Week and a Top 20 Tech PR Firm in 2009 by O'Dwyer's, Atomic PR's 60-person team is among the best in its niche. To achieve these awards, the agency uses what it calls "classical PR" in addition to all facets of social media, so it should be no surprise that monster brands like LinkedIn, Hotwire, and Verizon Wireless are among Atomic PR's big name clients.

I recently read an astonishing statistic provided by NACE (National Association for Colleges and Employers), "As of April 2009, 59 percent of graduating college seniors, had NOT started applying for jobs ."

WHAT ? Even in a "good" economic climate this demonstrates a lack of preparation. Student's should be applying for jobs towards the BEGINNING of each semester. The job search process can be a very LONG one and it's key to get started as early as possible.

- Students graduating December 2009 should start their job search process mid-September.

- Students graduating May/June 2010 should start their job search mid -January.


Prepare For the Job Search

1. Keep a Calendar. This your time to really get organized. While you hang around and have summer "lazy days" or fun time on the weekend, take a moment to create a calendar. Use your IPhone, Blackberry, Microsoft OutLook, Google Calendar, or even a planner to choose days that you will accomplish certain tasks. You've been through the back-to-school a few times by now and should know what you will have to do. I suggest marking down the following days on your calendar:

- 2 days where you can sit down and start applying for Fall internships.

- 1 day where you can take a last look at your Fall 2009 classes and make sure you are meeting all of your requirements.

- 1 day to write Thank You Notes and log contacts from your current internship and any career-related events you may have attended.

- 3 days (after your semester starts) to start researching job possibilities in your location of interest.

- 1 day to compile your job application materials and put together any sort of portfolio, letters of reference that you might need.

- 1 day to set up informational interviews with any of your contacts that are already in place.

- 2 days to start your job reachout and start sending in application materials (clearly stating your graduation date) and requesting interviews for October (ish).

2. Organize Your Contacts. If I had to go back in time, I would have starting organizing my contacts much earlier. Go through your piles of business cards and random papers and start really keeping track of the people you meet. If your email system provides a great way to store contacts, go for it. Do you need to save everyone's number in your cell phone ? No. I like to use Excel documents that are always saved on my computer and that I can import into other programs to organize when necessary. Organize your contacts list with the following columns so that you can view the document in many different formats on an 'as needed' basis.

- Contact First and Last Name (Make sure to spell it correctly).

- Contact Direct Number and Office Line (You want to have the office line just in case the person leaves their position).

- Contact Email Address

- Company Address (If you don't feel like typing in the entire address, just write the city and state the person is located in for time zone reasons and if you are ever in that city you can contact them).

- Status/Notes (This column is for you to keep track of how and where you met this person and when you last spoke to them. If you put in a call or email to them, track it).

- Category (Try to categorize your contacts by field or industry so that if you want to search all of your contacts in a specific field - you can).

Last month I got an e-mail from a One Day, One Job reader named Lindsay Dick who has landed in an Internship Coordinator position. Her extensive internship experience during college has led to a job managing an internship program! It's funny how that works. The organization that she works for is a Cocoa, FL based non-profit called To Write Love on Her Arms. They're "dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide. TWLOHA exists to encourage, inform, inspire and also to invest directly into treatment and recovery." If you don't know a lot about these issues, check out TWLOHA's Facts page. It sounds like an amazing organization, and if its internship program is run by one of our readers, it has to be good. Continue reading about To Write Love on Her Arms...

"Go Local" is a pretty common buzz phrase these days. You're supposed to eat local, shop local, and even study local. To some people this is a new idea, but businesses like Travers Collins & Company have been focusing on working locally for a long time (in their case since 1995). They saw a void in the Buffalo, NY area when it came to advertising, public relations, interactive and investor relations, so they filled it. Judging from the number of times "Buffalo" shows up on their client list, that seems to have been a smart move. They're now "one of Buffalo-Niagara's largest locally owned and operated integrated marketing communications firms," as they have more than 40 employees. Continue reading about Travers Collins & Company...

The world of media is getting confusing. You've got marketing, PR, advertising, communications, social media, and plenty of other areas that are escaping me right now, and they're all converging. The lines are getting blurred between each of these practices, and that means that media strategies need to be tighter. That's what True Media is all about. They area Columbia, MO based, independent, full-service media strategy and communications company, and they operate with a "media neutral belief combined with a holistic integration of social media, PR, interactive and traditional advertising." It may sound like a lot of jargon, but what it really comes down to is delivering measurable results for clients, and that's what True Media does. Continue reading about True Media...

I was lucky enough to graduate from college without having had to take out any student loans, but even if I had needed to take out a loan, at least it would have been before the "credit crunch." These days it's a lot harder for students to finance their educations than it was just a couple of years ago. Credit in general is extremely tight right now, and beyond that, lenders are being very picky about whom they lend to. For students with no credit history, getting a loan can be a big pain in the butt. People Capital is a New York City based startup that is aiming to change that through what they call a "peer-to-peer lending platform." They've developed a Human Capital Score "to assess the creditworthiness of those just starting their credit histories," and they're now building out a network of borrowers and lenders to bring the idea to life. It's kind of like Kiva for education, but with a for-profit incentive keeping things efficient. Continue reading about People Capital...

The Summer of 2009 will not be remembered fondly by many college students who were hoping to find summer internships or for those who recently graduated and hoped to have already secured a regular full time job. A recent article in The New York Times illustrates the various struggles families are going through during these tough economic times and the different ways they are learning to cope with them.

Even though times are tough, there are things that students can do to help them become more marketable in the future. Even doing menial work in a local store or fast food restaurant has something positive to teach its workers. Continue reading ...

Interested students can win a paid multimedia internship for fall at CERN (the largest particle physics laboratory in the world and birthplace of the World Wide Web) in Geneva, Switzerland. Students should familiarize themselves with The Atlas Experiment prior to applying for the internship. This Experiment includes physicists from over 169 universities and laboratories as well as 700 students. Atlas is one of the largest international collaborative efforts that has ever been attempted in the physical sciences.
The research being completed is expected to make enormous strides that will eventually end up impacting young people to take an interest in studying and appreciating the sciences. Continue reading ...

Having spent 7 years at a private prep school, I know the educational value that such institutions offer. I also know that private schools aren't accessible to everyone (but neither are great public schools). That's why I think that it's pretty cool that a New York City based non-profit organization called A Better Chance is achieving its mission "to increase substantially the number of well-educated young people of color who are capable of assuming positions of responsibility and leadership in American society" by enrolling students of color in Member Schools (which are apparently both public and private). Since 1963 when "23 headmasters of selective independent schools made a mutual commitment to change the profiles and compositions of their student bodies," A Better Chance has improved the educational outcomes of more than 12,000 alumni.

Posted on Friday, July 3, 2009

Since I'm going to have a non-profit for you tomorrow, let's start celebrating the Fourth of July today. Now, I know that you probably have fireworks, the beach, hot dogs, and hamburgers on your mind, but let's take a minute to appreciate the Declaration of Independence. It's the best "I Quit" letter in the history of the world. It's like that letter that you wrote to your parents when you were 14 and decided that you were moving out, except it isn't completely nonsensical. The Declaration of Independence has a lot to do with why this country is so great, so I hope that you'll take a minute to give it a read today. And where do you go if you want to read the Declaration of Independence? The National Archives, of course! You can see the original document in all its glory, or you can check out a more readable version. If you're not familiar with what the National Archives is, basically they "are the nation's record keeper." They preserve and keep forever 1%-3% of our government's documents for both legal and historical reasons. Continue reading about National Archives...

It's officially internship season ! Wahoo ! Get excited everyone. An more important, get ready to make the most of your experience. This week, I will list 5 internship secrets - stay tuned !

SECRET #1

START REQUESTING MEETINGS.

You have been at your internship for about 2-3 weeks or so by now. It's time to request meetings with the execs and high-ups. Make a list of anyone you admire within the company. Think big - any department works. Approach your internship coordinator and ask if you can request general meetings with those people somewhere from now until the end of your internship.

THE NOTE.

Send short, to-the-point meeting requests to the person or their assistant (ask what the proper protocall is). In your email, state that you are a student, your school, year in school, the department where you are interning, and what your request is. See below:

Mitchell Baker,
I'm a student at University of Arizona and currently interning in your drama development department with Rob Gold. I'd love to request a brief meeting with you at some point over the next 8 weeks. I'm here until August 8th and very interested in pursuing a career after graduation with your company. I'd love to here how you got started and introduce myself.
Best,
Aaron Brandy
Email: Abrandy@gmail.com
Direct: 787 888 8888

WHAT TO SAY.

Some executives won't give you the time of day - BUT others will. I've sat down with at least half of the people that I requested meetings with as an intern. Remember, keep your meeting short and sweet. The goal is to introduce yourself, make a great impression, have a firm handshake, clearly state your career goals, have questions prepared, and thank them for their time.

A FEW QUESTIONS TO ASK.

1. How did you get started ?

2. What was your first position at this company ?

3. If you could do it all over again, is there anything you would do differently ?

4. What do you suggest I do to best prepare myself to enter this field ?

5. What newspapers, websites, blogs do you suggest I read to keep up on the industry ?

REMEMBER TO SAY...."Do you have a card so that I can stay in touch?"

When I went back to school to get my bachelor's degree in journalism, I did two internships - both unpaid. Of course, I also had a full-time job so pay wasn't a key factor for me. What was important, though, was getting practical writing experience, which I did. At the time, I had no idea that there are labor laws governing unpaid internships. Fortunately, I didn't need them, but not all interns are so lucky. There are some experts who encourage students to do unpaid internships, while others say, "students beware." In the article, Stiffing Interns on a Paycheck Could Cost in the End on Workforce.com, it's employers who are being warned.

There are a total of six criteria outlined by the U.S. Department of Labor that all employers offering unpaid internships must meet:

  1. The training, even though it includes actual operation of the facilities of the employer, is similar to that which would be given in a vocational school;
  2. The training is for the benefit of the trainee;
  3. The trainees do not displace regular employees, but work under close observation;
  4. The employer that provides the training derives no immediate advantage from the activities of the trainees and on occasion the employer's operations may actually be impeded;
  5. The trainees are not necessarily entitled to a job at the completion of the training period; and
  6. The employer and the trainee understand that the trainees are not entitled to wages for the time spent in training.

Usually, the article states, most unhappy interns are the ones who aren't paid, and now that the economy is in a downturn, they are more likely to report violations than they would if the economy were booming.

According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers, over 98 percent of internships are paid, but there are still a few employers who, in an effort to cut costs, are offering unpaid internships that are usually part of a college program that will give the students course credit in lieu of pay.

It's not a good idea for employers to take advantage of unpaid interns because not only will they return to campus and tell anyone who will listen, they will also make use of sites like InternshipRatings.com and pretty much ruin an employer's chances of finding someone else willing to accept his internship offer.

Just as employers are offering unpaid internships because the recession has caused them to cut back on expenses wherever possible, so are interns trying to avoid unpaid internships because they need the money more than ever before.

Employers who want to continue to attract the highest quality students for internships are advised to either make sure their internship programs meet the Department of Labor's six criteria or, at the very least, offer to pay minimum wage.


I was a chubby kid. Even though I enjoyed sports, exercise just wasn't something that I was interested in. If I had been a part of something like New York City's The Fit Pit, maybe it wouldn't have taken me until my Senior year in high school to get into decent shape. The Fit Pit "is an award-winning youth health fitness company which runs 'Superhero Academy,' an innovative, incentive-based fitness program for children, utilizing a superhero ranking system." Personal trainers for kids may sound a little ridiculous, but if we can beat childhood obesity, we'll be well on our way to solving many of the health issues that currently plague adults. Now, there have been gyms for kids before, but what makes The Fit Pit stand out (besides the superhero theme) is that they offer "a strong educational backdrop" that teaches kids the basics about fitness and nutrition.

I love statistics--especially when applied to sports--so it should be no big surprise that some of my favorite blogs include The Wage of Wins Journal, Sabernomics, and FanGraphs. Surprisingly, the statistical knowledge found on the best blogs these days is often far ahead of what you will find in the front offices of many major sports teams. The reason for the recent advancement in statistical sports knowledge of laypeople has a lot to do with how easy the Internet and computers have made it to collect and analyze in-depth data. A big reason that sports data is available is because of Northbrook, IL based STATS. Their story is pretty cool. They were founded in 1981 and "began as a grass roots operation tracking baseball in a unique, esoteric fashion." Now, they're "the world's leading sports information, content and statistical analysis company." I guess that numbers worked out for them. Continue reading about STATS...

You don't have to be in Washington, DC to be part of the political scene. Lesic & Camper Communications is doing just fine with their two locations in Ohio--Columbus and Cleveland. The agency's specialties are media relations, public affairs and strategic counsel, and its staff has "decades of experience in journalism, public policy, government, political and issues management, and public opinion development." While many of Lesic & Camper's clients are Ohio-centric, they do have a few big names on their roster, such as Accenture and Nationwide.

Between the two offices, the staff at Lesic & Camper is extremely small--nine staff members and two "associates" (partner organizations). Lesic & Camper is what I would call "top heavy" in that they have very few junior-level staff members. However, this gives you an opportunity to really learn from the pros.
