Interns
Internships are a great way to be involved with the 2010 Symposium for
Museum & Media Professionals, while gaining valuable experience to add
to your resume.
Internships are now available and applications will be accepted
immediately.
The ideal candidate has an interest in non-fiction filmmaking,
environmental conservation, non-profit organizations, public relations
and/or event planning; and is a self-motivated individual. Graphic
Design, Communications, Journalism, and Film students are strongly
encouraged to apply.
An intern must be currently enrolled in college or a recent college
graduate who can commit (at least) two full days a week for a minimum of
six weeks. Individuals are strongly encouraged to intern as long as
possible, for a more complete experience. Students should maximize the
benefits of this opportunity by applying for academic credit. JHWFF will
assist in any way possible.
Interns may have a job during their internship, as long as it does not
conflict with their commitment to JHWFF. Interns are paid a nominal
stipend of $5 an hour. Housing and living expenses are the
responsibility of the intern.
JHWFF is eager to find interns with one or more of the following:
* Excellent communication and writing skills;
