Hello Everyone. I’m Lauren Berger, also known as “The Intern Queen” and I’m also a blogger on WomenEntrepreneur.com. I wanted to come blog here today to inform you about the Quarterlife Internship Program that I just launched on Quarterlife.com/intern. As business owners, we all know the value of a few good interns. I’ve found that so many people (including myself) spend so much time finding an intern, posting for interns – they don’t get enough work done. They end up spending all of their time interviewing/posting and making “Intern-related” decisions that they have no time to really run their business. My goal is to make that process easier for companies by offering my Internship services for FREE.

How It Works:

- Visit www.quarterlife.com/intern to understand the layout of our site. You will understand the concept and how the postings work. We are like a “Craigslist” of Internships.

- Employers email me at internqueen@quarterlife.com stating their interest in the FREE service

- I email the employer right back with the Internship Posting Form. The form requests a company bio (this is basically for employer’s bragging rights), a list of intern duties, the amount of hours you would like the intern to work, if the internship is paid or unpaid, and if you will give the student school credit for participating in the internship. Employers can also state if they want resumes, cover letters, or any additional materials.

NOTE: Regarding school credit, I reccomend that ALL companies offer students school credit. This means that the student will bring you a paper to sign or a report to sign at the completion of their internship. The rules on how to get school credit vary from school to school but most of the responsibility lies on the student. Also, keep in mind that in some states it is ilegal to have an unpaid internship that does not give school credit.

- Once the employer fills out the form, I enter the data into our computer base within 24 hours.

- Students Email me at internqueen@quarterlife.com with all of the materials the employer requests in the company blurb.

- I screen the resumes that come through and make sure they aren’t pornography, spam, solicitations, etc. Employers can set limits on how many resumes they get per week from my account. They can also request to only get resumes on a certain day of the week.

I’m hoping this service will benefit you and make your lives easier. One less process – that is what it is all about !

All the best,

Lauren Berger
