Re: [PLUG] Summer IT Internship


Brett,

I may be Interested.  I'm starting my own small business consulting thing and I kind of want to get my hands dirty a little bit.  What sort of "projects don't you have time for that aren't top priority" do you have in mind?  I'm new on the list and I'm just getting back from the Peace Corps, but I'm a linux guy/open source guy by heart.  Ironically, I graduated from Drexel and while I'm not a co-op I would recommend them in the future.  Its a great program.

Thanks,

Jim Smith

We will be paying something, but no one is going to be knocking down our
doors for the salary I'm sure.  For us it would be a chance to expand on
projects we don't normally have time to work on and aren't top priority,
and for the intern it would be an experience/resume builder, but we are
going to offer some salary.  I just don't know what that is :-)

I'd hire someone in that position, as long as they understood that it
probably wouldn't be leading to a full time position and wouldn't be
paying a lot. I also don't want to be left high and dry if the person
finds a full time job while working for me.
