If you’ve been considering applying for an internship at Creative Commons, the official due date is today. You should definitely apply, because they have set aside an internship specifically for members of Free Culture chapters, as we’ve mentioned in the distant past, and it is a *paid* internship!

Creative Commons’ Free Culture Marketing/Media Internship

This internship is open to college students or recent college graduates involved in their respective schools’ FREE CULTURE club. Creative Commons is currently accepting résumés from those students interested in interning in CC’s San Francisco office. This paid internship will work closely with the Creative Director and focus on grassroots efforts and/or media development to encourage the reuse of content. Duties will also include working on a “street team” campaign to recruit other Free Culture club members. This position will be offered to a non-law student. Some basic graphic/web design skills are desirable.

If you were not aware of this opportunity, it is most likely our fault… send your application ASAP, preferably today, and we’ll put in a word in your favor if you hadn’t heard about it until now.

UPDATE: For your references, all you need is a list of names and contact info for people who can testify that you would be an asset to Creative Commons.  For your cover letter, Creative Commons would like to see how people know about CC, and how they are involved with their local FC chapter or the FC movement.  Highlight what is not in the resume, or elaborate on something interesting that you do touch upon in the resume.
