Q TIPS:
Quick and Quintessential Career & Job Tips
Job-hunting tips from the September 25, 2000 issue of QuintZine.
As part of the new partnership between WetFeet.com
and InternshipPrograms.com, the sites will launch a
monthly newsletter, "CareerWatch: Internships" in October.
In the meantime, they offer an
article about
which internships pay.
The Public Affairs Group in Washington, DC,
offers an internship program that aims for a
highly diverse pool of interns. The group calls these
internships "substantive and exciting opportunities
based on knowledge and/or relevant experience available
in one or more of the following areas: corporate development,
marketing, finance and administration, journalism with
heavy concentration on editing, publishing and research,
international, women's studies/research, Internet/Web site
development." Most internships are for college credit with
transportation costs reimbursed. However, a few internship
are paid, depending on the student's experience and number
of hours that can be committed. Interns work
in the company's four divisions: Top Speaking Forums,
Best Practices in Corporate Communications, Diversity
Best Practices, and Business Women's Network.
