YouIntern at the GeneratioNext Advertising Industry Diversity Job Fair and Leadership Conference

Last February, we had the pleasure of meeting hundreds of YouIntern users at the BDI Career Fair on the New York University campus.

We're pleased to be invited back to another BDI event -- this time, it's the GeneratioNext Advertising Industry Diversity Job Fair and Leadership Conference. All of the details are below, so please stop by, say hi, post an internship review or search for a new one!

YouIntern in Advertising Age

We're pleased to announce that we were featured in Advertising Age this morning, in the Talentworks section. Anand Chopra-McGowan, a YouIntern partner, was privileged to be interviewed by Michael Bush on the subject of advertising talent, the value of internships and the growing demand for talent.

We're extra pleased that Maurice Haynes, who supported us in our partnership with Arnold Worldwide, chimed in with some words of support.

The article lives here. Have a read! And thanks to everyone for their support.

YouIntern.com Announces Partnership with Tangerine

YouIntern.com is pleased to announce a new partnership with Tangerine, a talent placement service in New York City.

We’re especially proud to launch this partnership because Tangerine’s goals are similar to ours: placing candidates in companies where they will prove to be the best fit. While Tangerine deals with more senior-level placements, and we’re more committed to internships, our motives are pretty similar.

The internship at Tangerine promises to be an interesting and unique one: you’ll glimpse into the dynamic world of talent recruitment while working in a creative environment, managing some resumes and absorbing as much as you can.

The process will work similar to our Arnold partnership: anyone who reviews a new internship and sends us their resume will be eligible. The deadline on this opportunity is May 20th. Good luck and keep checking YouIntern.com – we’ll have more of these opportunities shortly.

YouIntern.com Announces Winners of Arnold Worldwide Interview

YouIntern.com is pleased to announce the winners of the three exclusive Account Management interviews at Arnold Worldwide, Boston. After reading through dozens of resumes from talented students who reviewed their internships on YouIntern.com, we're pleased to announce that Andy Tam, Ritesh Sethi and Leigh Warrington have been chosen for the interviews at Arnold.

Stay close to YouIntern.com -- we'll keep you updated with our newsletters, but we'll be bringing more of these contests in the coming weeks and months. It's all part of our goal to get you closer to the best internship, so keep your resumes updated and ready for submission.

YouIntern.com's Founders Interviewed in Two College Newspapers

Hi there – just checking in, making sure you’re doing well. Some of you may be new here, and that could be thanks to two recent college newspaper articles that gave us some coverage.

First, the Massachusetts Daily Collegian, published at UMass Amherst, gave us some wonderful coverage, and Maurice Haynes, VP, Director of Worklife at Arnold Worldwide, had this to say:

"[Youintern.com] is really providing a forum for prospective employers, and for students to learn something about the internship process," he said. "It's creating a pipeline for the future of stronger interns. In the long run, it will give us [Arnold Worldwide] a stronger pool of applicants to choose from."

The connection? He’s putting his words into actions, as he’s helped us create our partnership with Arnold (more on that tomorrow).

A note about the Arnold partnership

You may have noticed that lovely red Arnold logo on the main page, or received an email from us announcing our partnership with Arnold Worldwide. What's it all about, you ask?

We're looking out for you. We know it's hard to get internships. Sometimes you have to have a connection, perhaps you have to be someone's son or know the owner. Sometimes you just have bad luck -- you're just unable to push your resume through the pile, despite being confident that it's as good (if not better) than your competition.

So, let YouIntern.com be your connection. In our early days, we're looking for eager, ambitious student to build our community with internship reviews, and if you register and write about your last internship, send us your resume. Arnold has given YouIntern.com three exclusive internship interviews for their Summer '08 Account Management Internship Program. These aren't interviews for anyone but our users. We're looking out for you.

YouIntern.com at the BDI Career Fair in NYC

We are pleased to be recognized as a Supporting Organization and will have a table during the fair. We'd love for you to come by and chat about internships, sign up, write a review, and listen to some music.

As the BDI home page notes, "recruiting sponsors include Carol H. Williams Advertising, McCannWorldgroup, Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, Google, 24 seven and others!" Students, this is a great chance to pass on your resume and get noticed.

The new YouIntern.com is here

Hi. I'm Jason, a coder and designer for YouIntern.com. Welcome to our site!

The new YouIntern.com is all about getting you the best internship possible (or best interns possible, if you happen to be an employer). We're connecting internship reviews and postings in a new way to improve the "intern" experience for everyone.

To make the site as useful for you as possible, we'd love to hear your thoughts. You can tell us anything that's on your mind. Have an idea? Like the color scheme? Think my puns are dumb (see subtitle)? Love the concept? Having an issue getting something done on the site? It's all fair game.
