Hi I did an internship with Ernst & Young and it was the best experience. Ernst & Young loved and hired me after it getting me my first marketing job. It works well for both parties, the intern get experience and a bit of pay, and the company gets to try out a potential employee for cheap and if it doesn't work out it is easy to get rid of them.

However we are placing them in our test group so generalist skills are appropriate. For specialized skills a service like GradConnection sounds great -- good luck with it.Cheers,Michael On Tue, Jan 20, 2009 at 7:25 AM, gradconnection <[email protected]> wrote: Hi Rob, My company GradConnection, specialises in exactly this. We are launching a web application in March this year called the Gradaute Program Wizard which intelligently tells grads which opportunities are most relevant to them based on the criteria that they enter. So if you were after a graduate/intern who programmed Ruby, we would tailor our question set to make sure you opportunity gets infront of relevant grads and students. We have had major sign ups now from a number of government departments and are a couple of large corporates. In our efforts to jump the chasm, we would like to get a couple of smaller companies on-board to profile the merits of our webapp and would happy to offer this to you since you are a member of silicon beach. If you are interested then lets catch up for a coffee. In Sydney any time, or if you are in Melbourne we will be down their again from Feb 9.

SportsPassion is looking at establishing a few positions as internships and are wondering whether the likely source for filling the roles will be Uni students in Australia or Uni students who are travelling to Australia and can work as interns (that is, their visas permit that). Any thoughts/guidance/feedback would be welcome. thx Rob -- Mike CaseyDirectorLevel 5, 95Pitt Street SydneyNew South Wales2000P: +61 2 8005 0266M: +61 4 4997 6059 -- __Michael Harries_________________________________________________________________ Holiday cheer from Messenger.
