I have no plans to apply for any of these jobs. However, I must confess that I really enjoy this thread! Some of these job descriptions and requirements seem crazy. You can read alot between the lines (wanted: "miracle-worker").

[Isk8NYC]

Thank you!  There's really no one central place for help wanted ads in the industry, so I thought this would help someone who had relocated or was just starting out.  The more descriptive ads outline the requirements and responsibilities.

I had hoped that someone would say "I like this" or "I got () job" so I'd know whether to keep the thread going.  Thanks again.

One year internship?
With a requirement of a bachelor's degree??
At $1,000 a month??!

Hmmm...

One year internship?

At $1,000 a month??!

Hmmm...

No I think that's $1000 for the whole time.

Someone should remind USFSA that internships are supposed to be for the interns benefit and involve mentoring and training. USFSA is treating it like it's slave labor.

The listing says "$1000 month." It's a one-year gig with holidays, etc.

[Query]

People are looking at different listings.

  http://www.usfsa.org/content/USFS_HP%20Event%20Admin%20Intern%20Summer%202012.pdf

is not for a whole year. It says it is for the summer, specifically Late May/Early June – Late August/Early September, 25-35 hours per week.  And it says "Stipend of $1,000 at conclusion of internship", which implies $1000 for the whole summer.

But that is for an Event Administrator, not the Communications Intern position.

"Internship" implies low or no pay. You do it mostly for experience, or college credit. Agnes, you may be thinking of what engineering graduates can get, not people who answer phones and such.
