Its the Brazen Careerist internship Come and get it!

Its the Brazen Careerist internship Come and get it! I want to take on one intern for the fall semester. I say semester, though you dont need to be in college. My motivation is two-fold. Of course, I want to offload stuff I dont like to do on someone who might like to do it. But also, I want to mentor someone (see my bit on that in the post below). And I want to have conversations with someone about the topics I write about and should write about. The internship will be a great learning experience, but it will not be a great financial experience: unpaid. If you dont know that much about what I do, you can get an idea here. Heres what you will do that will be fun: 1. Learn to write a column. You can author one of my columns, with my help, which will give you a byline in multiple publications. 2. Learn to make money from blogging. Many of my blog entries are syndicated in print. Ill help you to write one or two blog entries that can be picked up by my syndicate. 3. Get focus and traction in your career. Ill help you get to the next step in your career. My job is to figure out what people should do next in their careers and then write about it. I will take a lot of time to help you figure out your next step is. We can develop the skills you need and use my contacts to help you get there. Heres what youll do that I hate to do myself: 1. Research. Here is the type of stuff Id like you to help me find: People who will talk about hunches that I have. Academics who are publishing new research about business. Trends at the intersection of business and personal life. 2. Basic changes on my blog and web site. This is really annoying work that I dont like to do, like delete spam, fix typos, find relevant links. Ill split it with you, so that we both acknowledge that no job is all fun and games. Id like you to work 12 hours a week. Five of those hours will be you writing and me helping you. You can work whatever hours you want, from wherever you live. That said, if you live near me Madison, Wisc. you will get preference, because its fun to have lunch with people you work with. If youre interested, please send an email to penelope@penelopetrunk.com.
