Are you looking for an internship next semester? Well look no further because the College of Charleston’s Department of Communication hosted the 2012 Internship Fair. The event took place at Cougar Mall from 11 AM- 2 PM. Tables were set up around Cougar Mall, which gave students easy access to attend.
Many local organizations and businesses came to speak with students about internships and potential jobs. Students were encouraged to dress appropriately and share resumes with these potential employers.
Some organizations that participated in the fair included the Charleston RiverDogs, The Post and Courier, South Carolina Stingrays, Trident United Way, American Red Cross and much more. Students met one on one with these employers and were able to network and build a foundation for a potential internship or job.
Many organization presented different kinds of internships. For example, Charleston City Paper’s Laura Cannon said, “ We have two different types of internships, editorial and sales, and they both handle different tasks in the company.” Sylvan Dell Publishing, a local book publishing company, also offers a different kind of internship. Eric Nyquist who handles the digital content of Sylvan Dell Publishing expressed that some interns might have to do some basic HTML and CSS computer programing jobs. These were some of the organizations, I got the chance to speak with.
Don’t all of these internships sounds interesting? The organizations took resumes from students to potentially hire a new intern.
If you did not get a chance to attend the fair, no worries! College of Charleston has the resources for you. Please visit the CofC Career Center for more job and internship opportunities.
