Calling All Intern Candidates

By: Kristin Gumper | 12/13/2007

As I'm sure you'll learn in upcoming "How I Started at Standing" entries, many Standing staffers began here as interns. Beth, Susan, Jadea, Maria and Patrick are just a few examples...

And, guess what? Standing Partnership is currently seeking high-qualified intern candidates! So get those resumes in!

What does an ideal intern candidate look like?

• You like love to write;


• You know what "pitching" is, and you're good at it;


• You enjoy working on a variety of clients, projects and teams;


• You can work alone, and enjoy working in a team;


• When someone says, "Take the ball and run with it," you think of exciting opportunities to showcase your talent, capabilities and prowess, versus a football game; and


• When someone asks you, why PR? You say, "Because I'm a 'people' person." You take the opportunity to describe how you enjoy the challenge of managing clients' reputations through strategic planning, social media, crisis communications, employee communications, smart media relations and more.

What do we offer? An award-winning culture that provides interns the environment to build impressive and valuable experience, alongside leaders in their field.

Oh yeah, did I mention it's full-time, paid well, and, interns get their own mentor and office? (...Susan's office decor will be tough to beat.)

Do you know the perfect intern candidate? If so, please let us know.
