Southern Weddings

Though we’re always sad to see the summer end, we’re especially sad this year because it means our time with our summer interns is coming to a close.  Luckily, one will be staying on this fall (yay!).  However, we’re still in need of a few good ladies and/or gents (that’s right, we’d be open to gents) that are just itching to work alongside Lara, Katharine, and I.  We’re looking for college-student interns to work 3-4 days a week in our Chapel Hill office (approximately 15-20 hours), starting in August/September.  Must live in the Chapel Hill area, be self-motivated, driven, highly organized, and able to receive college credit. Graphic design knowledge and outstanding writing skills required. 

In return, we’ll offer an invigorating, fast-paced work environment that’s always changing, and plenty of hands-on experience in the worlds of weddings and publishing.  But don’t take our word for it!  Here’s what one of our current interns, Nicole, has to say:

“Hello, potential SW interns!  Right now, I’m a graphic design intern with SW.  Basically, I get to look at beautiful photos all day.  I put together image boards for the blog, search for photos for our inspiration posts, and I’ve even gotten to go through weddings for the print edition and pick selects.  I also run errands, do lots of crafting, get a workout at the post office (magazines are heavy!), and other randon things.  Don’t be turned away by these tasks, though.  They’re not bad to do and they’re all part of running a business.

I have to say that I am very happy for all of you reading this post because it means that you’re probably falling in love with Southern Weddings as we speak or have already fallen in love with it.  Let me give you a few more things to love as an intern:

–The opportunity to work with super-cool gals like Lara, Emily, and Katharine (They didn’t even make me say that, I really do mean it!)

–Finding new appreciation for photography.  I’m still green, but when you hear Lara and Emily go crazy over wedding photography, you learn a few things.

–Awesome stuff.  You haven’t seen the SW closet.  It’s FULL (really, I was in charge of organizing it) of leftovers from photo shoots, samples, gifts, favors, and crafting supplies.  And sometimes people send us delicious things to eat!

–Online shopping.  Want to know how we find awesome stuff for the print edition’s Fab Finds?  Yup, online shopping.  And recommendations from readers, of course.

Okay, there is more to love.  More serious stuff like the fact that you can grow with SW and you can really spend some time learning the things you need.  SW provides such an open environment that I feel comfortable asking the questions I need to in order to learn and to become a better intern.”

Thanks, Nicole!  We think you’re a super-cool gal, too.  :)

Sound like something you might be interested in?  Please send your resume and cover letter to Katharine.  Thanks for your interest and we look forward to getting to know you!
