I’m pleased to announce our search for a 2013 intern.
This internship position is an opportunity to work alongside our event management team and learn the ins and outs of an independent event planner’s job — So, does that mean we plan weddings? Of course it does! But, we also plan conferences, cultural festivals and legislative fly-ins for various organizations and government contractors.
If you are interested in applying for our 2013 internship, please email your cover letter and resume to us. Given the size of our team, phone calls are strongly discouraged. I have excellent manners, so please know that I will reply via e-mail to everyone that applies.
Here are some answers to the questions we typically receive regarding our internship position.
