Success Stories

When I was looking for internships for the Fall 2010 semester, I knew I wanted to apply to Seventeen.com. There was no internship listing on any sites, but I researched through previous postings on Ed2010 for a contact. On a whim, I applied to the contact given from previous semesters, and mentioned that I learned about the internship through Ed2010.com. To my amazement, I was asked if could come in for an interview a couple weeks later! I started interning at Seventeen in August, and I am continuing through the Spring semester!

Thanks to an internship posting back in October of 2009, I was able to land my first ever internship as a college sophomore… at Hearst Digital Media!

Involved in almost all things teen, I’ve contributed to Seventeen.com,DonateMyDress.org, and TeenMag.com. I’ve primarily blogged for CosmoGirl.com — an absolute honor, as this is where many Ed Masthead members got their start. I hope the CG! magic rubs off on me!

I was a magazine journalism major at Temple University ‘08 and the co-founder of Ed @ Temple. I’m now working as an assistant editor at Hearst Digital Media. And get this…I was officially hired BEFORE graduation! Thanks for all your help, Ed!

Hi Ed,

Hi Ed,

“Hiya, Ed. If it wasn’t for your site, I never could have found out about all of the great spring internships I applied to—and the fabulous one I landed with Seventeen! Yay! Thank you, thank you, thank you!”—Jenna Adolph

“I can’t thank you enough, Ed. Thanks to your magic, I was just offered a spring internship in the fashion closet at ELLE! I am a senior at FIT majoring in fashion merchandising with buying internship experience. I really wanted to try editorial, but I didn’t know where to start. I wanted to thank you properly for helping me take the next step. I’m thrilled beyond words.” —Janna L.

I discovered Ed2010 after I graduated college in December 2006. I virtually had no idea how I was going to step into this tough industry. With one b2b magazine internship and one web editorial internship and a Bachelor’s degree in Journalism, I felt really unprepared. Ed not only provided me with a wealth of information, it also gave me a game plan on how to enter this industry.

My paid web editorial internship ended this March and I began to

Dearest Ed,

Thanks to you, I got both my dream NYC mag job and dream NYC apartment (and roommates!) in the past two days. You are amazing, and if I knew who you were, I’d buy ya about 200 drinks.

YAY,
Katy

Ed’s Note: Yay back atcha. Happy to help!

Ed2010 is the absolute best resource I’ve discovered for getting real, useful, honest-to-goodness advice on moving up on the magazine world. I got my first magazine internship through Ed (which turned into a full-time job), met with a fantabulous mentor and still go to the classes and events now that I’m a gainfully employed. Last, but not least, I recruit all my fabulous interns from Ed! Thank you!
