College Candy (part 2)

Lauren from College Candy just sent me a message telling me to e-mail her my resume and some writing samples and then we can set up an interview. Needless to say I am super excited.

College Candy

I am an avid reader of College Candy; a website that talk about sex, fashion, dating, and college. Its a bit more authentic than other publications because some of the articles are written by college students as well as the three editors. I love it because most of the topics cover what every college girl encounters during the four or five years. Last week they sent out an e-mail saying that they are looking for a intern for the upcoming Fall semester. As soon as I read that I jumped at the chance, the time and location (Chelsea, NY) are perfect for me, not to mention that I could actually contribute, which is more than many internships offer. If I get this, next semester is going to be amazing.

Travelzoo.com

Someone I work with told me to try monster.com to look for summer internships. I tried it out and searched under "magazine internship" and one of the most interesting results that came up was Travelzoo.com. Travelzoo is a global Internet media company that specializes in publishing travel deals from around the world. As a traveler myself this defiantly peaked my interests. This summer they are looking for an intern in New York. I sent them an e-mail asking to get as much information as possible and what they we need from me. Even though it is not the ideal time for me, I am looking forward to what could happen.

A Great Opportunity and Possible Internship

I was recently approached to work as a Merchandise person for Warped Tour for this coming summer. Along with selling merch for the bands I would also have to blog about each show and "twitter" about random things that happened. I had to send my resume in and if I do get this job I would go on tour for two months. I am so excited about this and I figured if I did get it I could talk to my advisor about making it a possible internship. Blogging and "twitter"-ing are the new press releases. Hopefully everything works out, and even if I can't use this as an internship it would still be an amazing opportunity.
