barkley paid internship

the internship is paid, so this would be a great opportunity for you to not have to look for another job over the break. each student will of course have to apply through the process of providing cover letter, resume, and pieces of work. you can submit them to theresa thornhill at tthornhill@barkleyus.com

If you have any questions about the position, lance welcomes your email, and is happy to share his experiences. lflores@barkleyus.com
