Summer Internship 2013: Turner Broadcasting

I've been reading numerous articles on LinkedIn Today and Mashable about how having a blog can really help you stand out in job and career searches through personal branding, so I've decided to help cement my my participation in the Time-Warner College Associate Program (TWCAP) by writing a little bit about my experience so far.

I first read about the opportunity in the weekly e-newsletter generated by the Arizona State University School of Theatre and Film (now the School of Film, Dance and Theatre). It appeared around mid-February and asked for a cover letter, resume and essay. I was in internship overdrive mode at the time; after updating my resume, I was cranking out 2-3 application packages a day. Having done a for-credit internship the previous summer (another blog post on that later), I understood the value internships have to offer. However, having done it for-credit (aka unpaid) last summer, I knew the only way I could afford to move to L.A. again was to find a paid internship this time around.
Now, as you may or may not know, there are in fact many paid internships in the entertainment industry- they just all happen to be at either the big studios, networks or agencies. Most every other production, distribution, marketing, PR, representation or management company offers internship opportunities; most all of them are for-credit only, and in light of the class-action lawsuit involving interns, the industry is definitely beginning to re-evaluate their internship programs.

Just like an actual job in Hollywood, these paid internships with the studios are (I assume) highly valued and extremely competitive; so, naturally, I was thrilled when I received a reply from Turner a week later to setup an interview. We setup a an interview via Skype, and after reading up on the best practices for web-based interviews, went in prepared, felt great about it, followed-up with a thank you card a week later, and at the end of the next month received the magic phone call that changed my life forever.

I guess the point of this post is this: while I feel extremely lucky to be here, there was a lot of hard work that went in to it. I applied to so many different internship postings- ABC/Disney, Sony, Paramount, Fox, CAA...the list goes on and on. I spent hours reading those articles and preparing. Deadline.com became my homepage; I even trolled back through my Facebook and Twitter feeds to manage my brand. In the end, with a lot of hard work, and a little bit of luck, I got the opportunity of a lifetime.

And now, the real work begins...

Pi Kappa Alpha at ASU, 2013

Arizona State University

Friday, April 12, 2013

The International Fraternity, in cooperation with Arizona State University, is pleased to announce the newest colony of Pi Kappa Alpha. Pi Kappa Alpha recently completed a record breaking expansion project (February 25 – March 8) recruiting and pinning 202 men to be future founding fathers of PIKE at Arizona State. Expansion Consultants Carson Simms (Chapman University, Theta Psi ‘07) and Justin Kohrs (Northern Kentucky, Eta Rho ‘07) were on campus as the professional staff coordinating the project.

Founded in 1885, Arizona State University is now the largest public university in the United States with enrollment sitting at roughly 73,000 students broadly organized into 16 colleges and schools spread across 4 campuses. Along with multiple athletic clubs, ASU is also home to over 1,200 registered student organizations across its campuses, reflecting the diversity of the student body. After a seven year hiatus, PIKE returns to the ASU Greek community as the 26th fraternity, and the colony is now part of a Greek population comprised of over 3,500 men and women.

In addition to leading PIKE at ASU to become a chartered chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha, the colony members have already begun dominating in every statistical category. The colony men are spread throughout 90 clubs and organizations across campus including; 24 varsity and club athletes, 36 ROTC men, 5 presidents of other student organizations, ASU mascot (Sparky), VP of student government, 8 men in professional business fraternities, multiple men on honors scholarships, and more.

The membership’s focus on scholarship is astonishing- with 25 men in the Barrett Honors College and over 140 men who have a 3.0 GPA or higher, 42 of which have above a 3.5 GPA, PIKE ranks in the top five groups academically. Additionally, for the first time in ASU history, the IFC cumulative chapter GPA is above a 3.0 – a direct result of PIKE’s addition to the Greek community.

With a membership size of 202, PIKE is currently the largest Greek organization at Arizona State. On-site the expansion team generated 615 names and conducted 460 interviews in a 7 week time period. This makes the re-colonization of the Delta Tau chapter at Arizona State the largest expansion project in Pi Kappa Alpha’s 145 year history.
