Need A Job? (But Not A Paycheck)

This afternoon I got a broadcast email for all state employees. Now I'm sharing with you....

Full disclosure: This is the text of a press release. It appears to be legit. Especially since the web link says they don't pay interns.

PLEASE DISTRIBUTE Do you know bright, motivated college juniors and seniors who want to contribute to a team atmosphere and learn more about the govermental, political process? If so, please do not delay in sharing this amazing opportunity with them! The Governors Office is currently seeking applications for our spring internship program. Governors Office interns have the opportunity to work in the heart of Tennessee politics. There are three opportunities throughout the course of the year for students to be considered for full-time internships in the Governors Office- fall semester (mid-August to December), spring semester (January to mid-May) and summer semester (mid-May to mid-August). Applications for our spring 2007 internship program are due November 1, 2006. Interns have the opportunity to work in one of the fast paced departments in the Governors Office. This allows interns to focus their experience in a specific area of the political process. Internship opportunities are available in the following departments: Boards & Commissions Communications Constituent Services First Ladys Office Governors Office/Deputy Governors Office Legislative Policy SchedulingWe regret that funds are not available to provide stipends to Governors Office interns. Our staff is willing to assist students in receiving credit for their work in the Governors Office.

Past Governors Office interns have had backgrounds in political science, communications and public relations; however, we encourage any self-motivated individual from any academic major to apply.
