Today I created a Facebook group for the Summer ’09 NYTimes Interns and it reminded me that my internship is really awesome! I also love the work environment at The New York Times, so I wanted to share it with you! Below are some photos of the beautiful space that I work in! What a blessed life!

(Above: My subway station exit is about 10 steps from the building. So, each morning, I enter here!)

Wow! That is pretty impressive.
Wow, how did you manage to get an internship like this? Amazing! How long was it? How did you apply for it? Through your school?
I learned about the internship through a job fair at NYU (my undergrad school). They were looking for marketing interns, so I happened to be in the right place at the right time. Funny story, though, I initially went to the NYTimes table with my journalist friend, because he wanted to see if they were hiring writers. I didn’t even talk to the recruiters about jobs, b/c I somehow thought they would only be recruiting journalists. So, instead I started talking about their cool branded products, included a highlighter with three colors in one. That lead to a conversation of my major, which lead to a resume hand-off, which lead to an email, which lead to an interview, which lead to me landing one of the best internships in the world. The internship lasted for a year, and I am now working as a social media consultant at The Times. It has been a great run so far.
