FALL INTERNSHIPS ARE HERE ! LOOKOUT!
- Hey Everyone,
Schools on the East Coast tend to start a little earlier than those on the West Coast. Fall Internships can start anywhere from August 1st to October 1st depending on where you attend school. Make sure to keep an eye on our new posting section (Launches on Monday) and start applying for fall internships asap. The companies are starting to loose their summer interns and they are looking for more !
ATB (All the Best),
Lauren
INTERNSHIP TIP OF THE WEEK
- Make a point to get a person's first and last name during employer introductions. Whenever you meet someone new in the office take a moment to make sure you get their first and last name. When you get back to your desk make a note of it. Whenever you see that person, greet them by their name. When you complete your internship write that person a Thank You note saying how nice is was to meet them and state that you hope to stay in touch.

THE INTERN QUEEN !
I'm from Clearwater, Florida - known for it's beautiful beaches. I went to Florida State University (SEMINOLES) for two years and then transferred to the University of Central Florida (KNIGHTS) in 2004. I graduated in 2006 with a degree in Organizational Business Communications. Throughout my four years of college, I participated in 15 internships. Did I get fired from any internships ? No. I would go to Los Angeles and New York over the summers and have multiple internships at a time. Some of my favorite internships include The Daily Buzz, NBC, MTV, FOX, and BWR Public Relations. I started my company, Intern Queen Inc, in May of 2006 while still in Orlando. I created a consulting service, t-shirt line, and constantly wrote internship advice for students. When I arrived in Los Angeles, I put my company on hold and started working at Creative Artists Agency. I was lucky enough to get introduced to Marshall (Quarterlife) at work and now here we are ! My goal is to really educate and help students get the opportunities they desire and the internships they have always wanted and learn how to make the most out of them.

Happy Monday ( December 15, 2008) NEW !!
Hey everyone ! I've had a very productive Monday thus far ! I started out with my "Goals" phonecall that I do each morning with two other entrepreneurs, went to quarterlife (quarterlife.com) headquarters for a meeting and then had to go to another meeting across town. I just got home and I"m about to hit that "I need coffee" point in my day ! I wanted to highlight our APEX FINANCIAL CONSULTING INTERNSHIP that is in OC/Newport Beach, CA. They are a really cool financial firm that manages funds for people like Paris Hilton ! Another I want to highlight is a super-savy internet startup called, A Broke Girl's Guide to LA. Anyone participating in this internship will have to really hit the pavement in LA and get to know all of the hot spots, cheap menus, and hidden deals! Check out the site, www.quarterlife.com/intern for more information !
New Posts ! December 2008 !
Hey everyone ! I'm going to start blogging on here more often ! I wanted to let everyone know that we got some great new companies signed up this week ! A BROKE GIRL'S GUIDE TO LA - is a great start-up out of Los Angeles - they are looking for interns who can really hit the pavement on this one and help them grow ! Another cool entrepreneurial company is HANDMEDOWNS.COM - they are a moms-only version of craigslist. If anyone is interested in being an entrepreneur themselves one day - this might be a great place to start ! Check out over 400 other internship opportunities for the Spring and the Summer 2009 on www.quarterlife.com/intern ! Also check out the ROYAL FORUM under FORUMS and GENERAL CHATS for my Internship Q & A. And read my blog on the Internship Page !

AUGUST 4th 2008
The launch of our intern pages was today and it went very well. The internships and opportunities pages seem to be well-recieved by our users. I hope that everyone tells all of their friends about the wonderful opportunities we have. My goal is to place all of you in amazing internships and to give these great companies wonderful interns! If we work together in our creative community, I'm sure we can make this happen. The more response we get, the more companies we can add - this will help make us a solid resource for "Everything Intern".
Today I'm adding some great companies like GK Films, Sony Digital, and more ! Check our listings to see what is new with the Quarterlife Internship Program. I'll work late tonight to find even more great opportunities for students!
AUGUST 1st 2008
Welcome to the Quarterlife Internship Program Powered by The Intern Queen - that's me! I'm so excited to tell you all about the different features and opportunities we are putting together for you. First off, when you go to our page you will see a section filled with Internship Listings. Click on the listings that interest you, read the information on the company, and then email me with your resume attached. If you need a cover letter or additional materials I will email you back and instruct you what to send me. I'll let you know when I receive your materials and we will stay in contact about the internship. I will let you know as soon as any acceptance or rejection letters come in. If you have ANY questions about your internship - please email me at internqueen@quarterlife.com and I'll answer all of your questions as soon as possible.
We are launching the site on Monday with over 60 internship listings. Because we are brand new, most of the listings are entertainment related (that's our field) and many are in Los Angeles and New York areas. We are NOT limited to these areas or to this field. We are working hard every day to expand our range and bring you more companies in more cities across America. Keep checking back with our site and if there is a specific area you'd like us to work more on - email me all of your suggestions.
Interested in publishing ? Check out our fall internships with several different magazines. We currently have listings from Good HouseKeeping, Unique Homes, GQ, Rolling Stone, I Do For Brides, and more.
Want to make movies ? We are extremely happy with the entertainment listings that we have ready for you. Find companies like Universal, Sony Pictures Television, The Weinstein Company, The Donnors' Company, Lionsgate, and more !
Also, for our launch I interviewed internship coordinators from a few different companies and even an intern or two ! Check that out in the INTERVIEWS section. I've also been recording some great Internship Advice in a VLOG format that is available HERE.
Keep your thoughts, comments, suggestions coming my way - I'm very excited to hear them all. And most importantly - if you know ANYONE looking for an Internship or looking for interns - send them to the Intern Queen.
Have a great weekend and I'll see you on Monday for our launch !
