We are well into the 2010 Bozell Summer Internship and we have an amazing class of interns. By this time, I have gotten to know each of them well. They each bring different talents and ideas to our office. At the end of the summer they will each be writing a blog post that discusses their time and what they learned here at Bozell. But, today I want to take a minute to share a little about our interns with you. That way, when you read their blog posts later, you will know who they are and where they are coming from.

We currently have six summer interns. They are (pictured above from left to right) Kevin Jones, Meghan Crowley, Christine Dobel, Meghan D’Arcy,  Ian Hutchinson and Mike Sammons.

Kevin or KJ is the social media intern for the summer. He is currently pursuing his masters at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. Everyone says that he looks like Zach Galifianakis and he is just about as funny. He brings a ton of creative and interactive ideas to every project that he works on.

Meghan is our media department intern. She recently graduated from TCU with a degree in Advertising/Public Relations. As the media intern, she plans campaigns for a variety of companies and makes sure that all those great creative ideas actually end up on TV, the radio and more.

As our account service intern, Christine makes sure that everything gets done. Christine attends Creighton University and is our only Omaha resident intern. She is a planner extraordinaire. She writes the creative briefs, she plans meetings and handles all the client communication. Basically, Christine gets things done.

Meghan D’Arcy is our copywriting intern. She has become an invaluable resource, proofreading, writing and coming up with killer concepts. Meghan started a little earlier than the interns, in March. She had just moved back to the states from Ireland, where she was finishing up her masters degree in linguistics at the University of Limerick.

Ian, is one of our art director interns. He is currently pursuing a degree in graphic design from Chapman University. He moved back to Omaha to work with us this summer and is taking a break from his ongoing work for Dim Mak Records in Hollywood. Beyond being a gifted designer, Ian entertains us all with his West Coast celebrity sighting stories.

And last, but not least is our other art director intern, Mike Sammons. Mike is currently working towards his bachelor degree in advertising from the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. Mike is a natural leader who has taken the UNL ad club to the National Student Advertising Competition (NSAC) for the last two years. In fact, this summer he led the team and they placed fourth in this national competition.

Every year we get tons of applications and one amazing class. This year is definitely no exception. We are really lucky to have the new ideas, energy and excitement of the 2010 intern class. If you are interested in interning or working at Bozell. Check out Bozell’s Career page and keep reading this blog. You can also check in with Bozell and ask us questions about the internship on our Facebook page and Twitter account.

This job takes the phrase “living on the edge” to a whole new level. Even watching this video my heart was racing and my anxiety level was rising! Any person who does this job for a living must have a lot of guts (big cahones)and no fear of falling to their death. I would have to say this would not be a fun job. Crappy is the word to be exact. I think most people would do exactly that in their pants if they were in Mike’s position.

The picture says it all. Driver’s Education Instructors have a crappy job.

You have seen the TV shows and movies about Crime Scene Clean Up, like Sunshine Cleaning pictured above. But it is a real job that real people perform and it is crappy.

In this job, one would be ignored, shunned, or possibly spit on. Spit is hard to get out of a blue, canvas vest. No one cares to say hi to anyone when they are on a mission to get their shopping trip done.
This company clearly takes equal employment opportunities to a new level.

When my daughter worked at a local “Rat Logo” Pizza chain, she told me that the BALL PIT had two problems. 1) the balls were never washed, and 2) the kids frequently peed in pit. The low man on the list was always the one chosen to eventually climb into the pit with a handful of towels to ‘dry up’ the pit as best as possible. Crappy job.

Too soon?

WTF? WTF? WTF?

Your job is to make dead animals look alive. Sometimes you win an award, sometimes you don’t. Sometimes you have to stuff people’s dogs. Creepy.

Try filling up the tallest building in the world when the local economy is going broke.

Oh, Dubai. You’re funny.
