Looking for Internships?

Some of my most rewarding experiences as a student was as an intern. During my summers, and one semester of college, I was lucky enough to get internships that helped me learn how to be professional, responsible, and gain experience to take into the workplace with me. For three years, I interned at the Department of Agriculture; one summer in the Public Affairs office. I also interned at my university in the Public Relations office, great experiences for a journalism major, as I was often writing articles, taking press calls, and helping design websites.

What most college kids don't realize is that this is the exact time they should be looking for these positions and getting valuable experience for their future careers. Living outside the D.C. metropolitan area is great for federal government intern programs, because there are so many different divisions to work for and most of these positions are paid. However, there are other great internships out there, as well. Just this week I found three different positions that would be great for students.

The first is with Discovery Communications, whose summer intern program, has positions available in Silver Spring, MD; Charlotte, NC; New York, NY; Atlanta, GA; Miami, FL; Chicago, IL; and Los Angeles, CA. Their program is looking for interns from June 8 - August 28 and positions available depend on which city you are looking to intern in.

The other internship is with an online company called, "Shop It To Me". I receive this newsletter once a week, with great sales from my favorite stores. They are also looking for marketing and web designer interns at their headquarters in San Francisco, CA. More information can be found here: http://www.shopittome.com/employment
