Time to Adapt: New Job Search Advice for Gen Y bit.ly/d6rFBA
Jenna Langer
I am putting together an internship program at my startup, Livefyre. I am starting with community manager positions but I could see it growing to a larger range of opportunities. They will work remotely and potentially come in to the office once a week of they are local. I want the interns to feel like they are contributing to our company and gaining valuable experience. Do you have any advice for organizing and running the program?

A lot of the interns at YouTern are virtual. We like to do at least one conference call a week to go over our tasks and brainstorm new ideas. And for the local interns we meet once a week on top of the call. We also use IM/google chat/skype daily to keep in touch with each other. It's almost as good as working in an office together everyday and we try to emulate the "water cooler effect" with the IM chats. It's challenging, but at least one of the executives of the company are always available by phone or chat all day. We also try to get our interns as involved as much as we can with any events we attend so they can see the execs in action. If you need virtual/non-virtual interns check out our site: www.youtern.com. We specialize specifically in connecting young talent with entrepreneurial companies.

I suppose some people would see some of the things I experienced as negative, but I loved it.
During my first summer as an intern (two years ago now!!), three of us sat in one cubicle, back-to-back. We rented space from an accounting firm for the longest time and felt kind of uncomfortable because we were very start-up-y and Gen Y and they were...well...accountants.
When I came on as a full-time employee after graduating, my salary was small and we didn't have health benefits, but with a little bit of patience, that has changed significantly. As the company grows, so does my own career.
And I'm not a founder, so perhaps I don't have any of the fame or glory, but I know in my heart that I have helped build something amazing and successful and sustainable. And the founder of the company knows it too!
