The Campus Special Internship Program
Are you in search of the ultimate paid internship program? If so, you have come to the right place. The Campus Special breaks the mold on
the traditional job duties commonly associated with the everyday "internship" program. An internship that only allows students to file
paperwork, fetch coffee, sit in cubicles, and handle clerical tasks stunt any chance of necessary growth and development of skills that are
required in today's competitive job market. We understand that in order to become successful after college you must have practical and
applicable hands on experience. The Campus Special was nominated in 2008 and 2009 as one of the best places to intern by Intern Bridge.
As an intern for The Campus Special you will be flown to Chicago for an all expenses paid training conference
with your peers. Over the summer you will develop your skills in sales, marketing, communications, learn how
to sell yourself, gain self-confidence, build your resume, and form lasting relationships with our company
that result in job references, recommendation letters, and job interviews. The life long lessons of
persistence, determination, and rising to new challenges on a daily basis can only be experienced when you
are placed in the driver's seat.
