Current Progress

I have been searching for an internship for about six weeks now, and still have not found anything. Yesterday, I went back to WVU's Career Service Center to see they knew of anything available. I met with Toni Jones and she was much more helpful then the last person I spoke to.

She gave me the names of people at the Dominion Post and the Jeffersonian that may need help. I called up Isiah Richie, who is an accounting student currently writing for the Jeffersonian. He gave me the e-mail address of Krista Streisel, who is apparently in charge of their hiring. I sent an e-mail inquiring about interning for them.

After I composed that e-mail, I got a message from Dale Weaver. Mr. Weaver is head of Sports Weave and works out of WVU's Business Incubator. I had e-mailed him a week or two ago asking about internship opportunities. He wanted a copy of my resume and what my interest is in Sports Weave. I sent a cover letter explaining my situation that informed him of the internship program, my desire to work with student-athletes, and my experience in athletics.

I hope to hear back from both of them as soon as possible. If they say "No," I also have other names and places like the Center for Civic Engagement and Ron Jusice informed me of Chris Flecker who is Director of Planning in Morgantown. If I do not hear back from Streisel or Weaver in a day, I will try these other places.
