NY Creative Interns – Make Sure You Pay It Forward

For a second, I imagined life after college like a mini vacation – I would come home from a productive day of work, cook a beautiful dinner, go out and see friends, have time to read, etc.  However, there are people out there who can’t sit still a second – and I’m one of those fidgety people.

Emily Miethner and I met on the first day of Ultimate Frisbee practice at Hofstra University a little over four years ago.  She and I both spent college involved with extracurricular activities, starting our own clubs, and interning at as many places as we could.  We spent last spring riding the LIRR to our internships in Manhattan (her Time Out New York, me Independent Film Channel) talking about searching for a job, WordPress, and the perfect template for a resume.  We both had the same plan after graduation – stay in New York and go to every network event, freelance meeting, and interview we could.
