Facing History is a national, not-for-profit organization based in Brookline, MA with several regional offices throughout the world. 

Through the generosity of Gerald and Linda Stern P’07, Pitzer College has been granted two paid summer internship opportunities available to incoming sophomores, juniors and seniors to assist the noble efforts of Facing History and Ourselves.  Pitzer students will work on one or more special projects related to programming and/or development, participate in weekly Facing History courses, and aid with administrative duties as needed.  Each intern will have a mentor to work under at Facing History. 

Interns work a total of 35 hours per week for 10 weeks at Facing History’s headquarters in Brookline, MA.  The program will begin the first week of June and end the second week in August.  The selected students will receive a housing, travel and living stipend of $3,600 awarded in two payments, of which $2,000 is paid up front. Interns are responsible for securing their own means of housing and travel. 

Qualifications: Facing History is looking for candidates with a strong interest in history and education reform.  Applicants must possess maturity and initiative, problem-solving ability, strong time-management, and good communication and computer skills. 

Application Process: Your application consists of four items: cover letter, resume, essay, and faculty recommendation letter by 5:00 pm, Wednesday February 20, 2008.  Incomplete applications will not be accepted. 

For application information and a more completion description and guidelines stop by Career Services, Mead Hall, Pitzer College.

Stipend: Fellows in each program work for 11 months receive health benefits and a monthly stipend of $1972 and are considered employees of CSUS. They work as full-time members of a legislative, executive, or judicial branch office, and are typically given assignments with a significant amount of responsibility and challenges. Fellows also enroll as graduate students at CSUS and receive 12 graduate credits from the CSUS Government Department or Public Policy and Administration Program. The enrollment fees are paid by the programs.

Qualifications: Anyone with a degree from a four-year college or university is eligible to apply. Fellows are selected in the spring and start their programs in the early fall with an intensive four-week orientation conducted by the program faculty advisors, after which they interview with various offices before being placed.

Do you need help interviewing?  

It’s that time of year and “interviewing” is in the air.  One popular book you may wish to look at in our library is The Everything Job Interview Book by Bob Adams. 

Many of you may be familiar with this popular series of “Everything” books.  Written in a clear and concise manner with chapters which outline every step of the interview process for you , it is a must read for those unfamiliar with the interview process.  It is important to know the rules of the job interview regarding what to wear, how to prepare what to say, and what to do when it’s over.  The goal of this particular book is to answer each and every question you may have when it comes to interviewing for a new job. 

The book is divided into three parts: Part One outlines “The First Steps to Interview Success.”  Part Two is titled “Interview Insight” and does such things as identify the different types of interviews our there and how to prepare for them.  It also covers what do to after the interview and how to negotiate a job offer.  Finally Part Three covers “Interview Questions You May Be Asked.” This section includes possible questions you may be asked and how to approach answering them.  Finally an appendix at the end of the book covers possible interview questions you might be asked divided by areas of interest.
