Nicole, Fairchild Publications, Inc.
"In conclusion, my internship was a positive experience. Designing for a leading fashion publication and working in a prestigious environment has led to me develop valuable technical and professional skills. I made excellent contacts and was able to learn about both the graphic design and fashion industries. As for my future with Fairchild, I am uncertain as to whether I want to work for a large corporation. However, I was asked to freelance this fall, following their move uptown. Regardless of the outcome I am grateful for the experience and everything I.ve learned from it."
Heather, New Line Cinema
"My internship at New Line Cinema was an outstanding experience that taught me so much about real working environments. Having the chance to work in two very different departments helped me realize the diversity of job opportunities and how many different aspects there are to filmmaking outside of actual on-set production. This internship has opened a lot of areas of interest for my career goals. I am happy to now begin searching for a job in several different areas of filmmaking, and I am confident in my ability to apply my experience at New Line to work in other companies."
Matthew, WNBC-4
"Overall, I couldn't have asked for a more positive experience with WNBC. It was both a privilege and an honor to work there, even if for only a short period of time. I am truly grateful to have been a part of such a hard-working, dedicated staff, and hopefully one day, I will be able to return, this time in a more permanent position."
Kenny, New Line Cinema
"Working for a major company that I had admired long before being granted and internship was surreal. Contributing to the department and seeing my work online alongside other professionally done designs was esteem-boosting. Most importantly, it helped me realize that I can stare at Photoshop for hours and not care. I really enjoy digital image manipulation and I am now sure I.d like to continue down that path after I graduate from Marist College."
Gina, Sports Illustrated
"Throughout the semester I have gained a variety of experience through my internship at Sports Illustrated. I enjoyed working there more than I imagined when I first started. It has helped me to realize that I want to continue working in public relations and hopefully find a position with a sports related organization. I have formed relationships and made many valuable contacts that will help me continue to network. I will miss working at Sports Illustrated, but I look forward to the experience it leads me to next."
Heather, The Howard Stern Show
"My internship experience was amazing and one of the best experiences that I have ever done. This was an amazing opportunity and I enjoyed every minute of it."
Richard, VH1 XM Radio
"That all said, I suppose it is safe to say that my experience in this internship has been extremely beneficial. It taught me about myself and gave me an opportunity to practice everything I spent my last few years in college learning...It is an experience I would recommend that everyone take part in prior to graduating or entering their career field."
Brynne, ABC - 20/20
"...(I)nterning at 20/20 proved to be successful to my career. I'm glad that I have a national network to put on to my resume with lots of experience I gained from there. So many people told me that if I need help with career advice or getting a job, I should contact them."
Christina, Dateline NBC
"In summation, I would never trade this experience for anything else. I have matured, learned important lessons that will help me as a young professional, and established great new relationships that I hope to keep forever. Not only do I have a great employer's name on my resume, but also I now have a real-life business experience to back it up with. The Dateline experience has enriched my life as a college student, and will most likely continue to benefit my life in the future."
Louis, WCBS 2
"As for whether or not I would recommend this internship for other students, there is no doubt in my mind. Any experience within television is worthwhile and it will help you value all aspects of media. Students should take the chance and be willing to make mistakes."
Tim, MTV
"I would also definitely recommend this internship for other students because you get to experience a lot of different things and work with very helpful and fun people."
Dan, Late Night with Conan O'Brien
"Interning at Late Night was not the most glamorous job around, but I definitely enjoyed my time there. I wouldn't trade it with any other internship. I have a backstage view on how shows like this run, and not many people can say that. Hopefully, I can turn this experience into a stepping stone into the field of entertainment."
John, MSG Network
"Overall my experience with MSG network was good. I enjoyed meeting new people and learning new things...The overall lesson of this internship was great. I learned what it is like to be in a professional environment and how you must conduct yourself in a professional manner. I think that this internship was very good for me because of the experiences and the people I meet. It was long and hard work but worth it."
