Internship Opportunity with CoreMessage
What type of course work or interests are we looking for? First and foremost, we’re looking for people who are pursuing degrees in communications or marketing, but we’re open to English and Business or other majors as long as you can make a logical connection. It will also help if you genuinely like what you are studying – interests in public relations, drafting communications plans, corporate communications, marketing, politics and state government are good places to start.
How much time does it take to be an intern? The short answer is that it takes at least 15 hours a week or whatever the minimum requirements are for you to receive class credit. The long answer is that we’d like you here as much as possible. Our interns are part of our team and we will want you to be here enough to take on tasks that teach you what it’s like to work at a successful PR firm. This means that when you do come in, we will need you to commit no less than three hours of work or more each day. We are open to working with your schedule, but as part of the team we will need you to be here often enough to follow through with the projects assigned.
What will you be doing? We ask ourselves that everyday! Each day we come to work with an idea of what we need to accomplish, but in the PR world things change fast. It’ll be much of the same for you. We’ll definitely need you to take care of some internal office work, but you’ll also be part of the ever-changing public relations strategies that we are working to implement. We’ll want you to chime in with ideas and get involved – our office requires a certain amount of gusto, so we’ll need you to hit the ground with both feet running.
What happens after I’m an intern? If, at the end of your internship, we think in hit it out of the park, then you’ll be eligible for a stipend of up to $500. If things went really well, and you want to continue working with us, then there’s also the possibility of a part-time position.
If you interested and want to learn more, or you’re raring to go and want to submit your resume and two writing samples, please email Lindsay@coremessage.com.
