I AM INTERN

Welcome to Summer 2010 Internship Season ! I know everyone is anxious about internships and each week we have tons of questions coming in about the internship application process, interview process, and how to be a standout intern.

And so, we introduce #internchat ! Get excited everyone. Not only will you get my @internqueen advice but you will also get advice and perspective from @heatherhuhman (Heather Huhman),the founder of ComeRecommended.com.

Join us Tuesday, March 16th at 7 p.m. Eastern Time for #InternChat on Twitter. We will provide so much internship advice, tips – and maybe Heather and I will even conflict on some ideas – but that’s all part of the fun and the variety of great information you will receive.

Everyone should be applying for summer internships, even if you’re graduating in May (it’s always best to have a Plan B). #InternChat will be a forum for you to voice all of your internship questions, stories and comments. Both myself (@internqueen) and Huhman (@heatherhuhman) will share our internship expertise during these bi-weekly, hour-long chats in the Twitterverse.

We’d definitely appreciate receiving your questions in advance to help keep the conversation flowing. To ask a question, visit our FormSpring.me account – you can be anonymous or leave your real name, it’s up to you!

Tell your friends! We can’t wait to “see” you there and chat about everything interns.

My National College Speaking Tour takes brings me to colleges and universities across the country. In fact, my New Year’s present from SouthWest was my title of “A-List Member.” I no longer have to print my own boarding pass – amazing!

On a recent flight, an article in Spirit Magazine, Southwest’s in-flight publication, caught my eye. The article, “Reverse Internships”, states that employers and students should switch roles and employers should be the interns. The article also explores the idea of a contracted remote internship position.
