    Hey Ryan! I’m a sophomore majoring in Sociology and Communications at the University of Illinois- Champaign. I’m looking for an internship in Chicago (my hometown) between mid-may to mid-august. I’d love to have an internship with you because first of all I love love love all music from country to electro-clash as well as anything that has to do with music such as festivals (Oyster fest etc) to which I am an avid attendee. Secondly, I love the website and all of the great information I recieve about new and upcoming bands as as well as my all time favorites (sooo bummed that N*E*R*D is over) Thirdly, I’m an outgoing person who isn’t afraid of hard work and a challenge. As you can tell I am also very personable. I can assure you that any job I am presented with I will travel all avenues to bring back something no less than a perfection! Anyways, my resume is available so all you have to do is ask! I hope to hear from you soon!

    Ryan,
    I have recently come across your website about needing an intern for this summer. I have taken classes including Electronic I and II, Video production classes, and I am currently learning the ways of the radio system at my school, Eastern Illinois University. I am a senior Speech Communication major with a concentration in radio, film and television. I am highly interested in working with anything that has to do with media and having fun at the same time. I am moving to the Chicagoland area this summer so location would not be a problem. If you need a resume, I have one available upon your request. I hope to hear from you.
    Thank you,
