About Internships Intern Testimonials How to Apply |
Communications/PRNext opening = Summer 2008 (and beyond.) The application deadline is March 31, 2008.
Internship description: Working from our downtown Des Moines office, this intern writes news releases and magazine articles about Foundation projects, assists with special projects (like our annual Hagie Heritage Award) and does other miscellaneous communications duties. However, the job is dominated by news/magazine writing, so don’t apply if writing isn’t your thing. You'll also need to have taken some key writing classes (like news writing and/or magazine writing) and have some writing experience (like your college publications and/or a previous internship). Depending on skills/interest, this intern may also help with INHF's website and/or help with occasional graphic design jobs. Supervised by Cathy Engstrom, Director of Communications, and Nicole Paseka, Outreach Coordinator. Applicant requirements: This position usually goes to journalism majors (news, PR, etc.). Interest in PR and nonprofits is helpful. Strong writing skills and samples are required. Successful applicants generally have experience on their school publications and/or previous internships and may include published clips with their writing samples. Be sure to highlight relevant classroom, internship, job or volunteer experiences in your resume and cover letter! Internship availability: We hire one intern per semester in this position, and the position is open beginning in Summer 2008. There is some advantage for applicants who can take the position for more than one semester--but one-semester applicants are definitely considered. NOTE to ISU journalism students: Because this position is generally around 15 hours per week during spring and fall semesters, it's impossible to fulfill your full 400-hour requirement during just one of those semesters. If 400 hours is important to you, you should apply for both fall and spring semesters (or for summer). If in doubt about whether or not you’ll get enough hours to meet your requirements, please contact INHF staff now so we can talk through the options and let you know if we can offer enough hours to make it worth your trouble to apply. For more information, e-mail Laurie Fenimore, INHF's internship coordinator, or call (515) 288-1846. About internships © Copyright
