Dear College
Administrators, Students and Interested Parties:
We are pleased to announce
the commencement of the interview process for the Summer Session II internship
program, which will begin immediately. This internship will extend from July
2013 to December 2013 and offer matriculating
students and recent graduates of 12 months or less the opportunity to work in the fast-paced, very
exciting publishing world while learning the basic operations of publishing a
national magazine.
This is a journalism
internship. Experience working for school newspapers or other publications is a
plus. Journalism, English and Graphic Design majors are particularly desirable,
but other majors are also considered. Candidates must be proficient in grammar
and have very strong writing skills, as they will be required to complete short
story assignments.
Candidates interested in
this assignment also must be social media savvy and able to complete various
tasks associated with the maintenance of our Facebook page, Twitter account and
website. Graphic skills are a plus and will be useful in assisting the art
department with the management of visual content.
Students will be required
to be in the office on Mondays, complying with any arranged schedules. Editors’
work schedules are primarily remote, so the ability to work offsite with
minimal supervision is crucial. Interested students should submit to my
attention a cover letter, résumé and contact information to the email address below.
No student will be accepted into the program without a
recommendation from a counselor, or current or former professor. This
letter is due within two weeks of the student’s acceptance into the program.
Students are encouraged to identify an endorser now.
As our internship program
does offer credit hours for matriculating students, interns are obligated to
fulfill a minimum of 12 hours per week to receive credit. If hours are not completed, credit will NOT be offered.
Students should confirm with
their counselor whether or not such credit is acceptable by their college or
university.
Phone interviews will begin on the week of
Monday July 8th. Students should
email me at Ldean@upscalemag.com to reserve a slot. The subject line should read Internship Interview. Out-of-state candidates are considered only for summer
sessions.
Interns chosen for the
program are required to provide official paperwork from their prospective
universities, which will act as documentation of their enrollment and
completion of our program. Such documentation is usually in the form of an
evaluation, typically completed at the end of the semester/quarter by the
internship director or an immediate supervisor.
We appreciate your sharing
this invitation with all interested parties. If you have any questions, I may
be reached email listed below.
Thank you for your
interest in UPSCALE magazine.
Sincerely,
LaConia
Jenkins Dean | Associate Editor
