What is your favorite job or internship you have held while at Barnard? The summer after my freshman year I was an intern for the director of marketing and publicity at Joe’s Pub, a fantastic music venue run out of The Public Theater. On top of my many quintessentially intern-y duties, I periodically had to act as a stage manager for the concerts. I got to meet and interact with artists who ran the gamut, in terms of genre and notoriety, from legendary folk and country songwriters to downtown cabaret acts to Constantin Maroulis of American Idol fame. It was a non-paid internship, so their form of compensation was admittance to any and all of the shows there, and I also got free tickets to all of the shows at The Public Theater. Thanks to an internship grant I received from the Office of Career Development, however, I got free housing and monetary compensation as well. Even though I don’t work there any more, I still stage manage shows from time to time and I am still welcome to see concerts for free. |
