Success Stories

I graduated in December into what has constantly been described as "the
worst job slump in recent history." Definitely not encouraging, but
then I saw an ad for an editorial internship on your site. It was for
an electronics magazine, and even though it wasn't the type of
publication I was really interested in, the job was paid and in New
York, so I sent in my resume. A week later, I went in for an interview
and was hired the very next day.

As a broadcast major, I never really looked into magazine internships until I met the beauty editor for Teen Vogue who asked me if I would be interested in interning at Teen Vogue in the summer. When my summer school got in the way, I was really bummed at the incredible lost opportunity. I started looking into magazine internships though and found Ed2010. I came across a perfect opportunity at Marie Claire for a features winter internship - something I would never even have considered applying for before. I applied, completed an edit test and two phone interviews and landed the position!

I am an Ed2010 success story!

I had been trying since October to find a great EA position at a
magazine, and was beginning to get really frustrated. There weren't
many positions out there, and most of the ones that were out there were
at magazines with topics I didn't know much about. That hurt my
prospects.

Jennifer ONeill landed an editorial assistant spot at Allure via Ed2010, and now she's moved on to Us Weekly.

My magazine dreams started coming true on my final day of being a college student when two Seventeen editors offered me a spring semester internship in the features department. I had only applied for the internship two days prior when I saw the ad on my favorite website, Ed2010.com. I applied for it in the middle of my finals week and about 30 minutes later I was on a phone interview. I packed up two suitcases and in a hop, skip and a flight, I was no longer in California.

Ed2010 helped me get my first magazine job, as an editorial assistant
(and later assistant editor), at Redbook. After I left Redbook, Ed gave me some great leads for freelance assignments.

You helped me land a sweet internship at Food Network Magazine last
Summer, which happily continued through last Fall. It was certainly the right place for me. When I applied I was about to give up on my search, and then I figured I’d send out one more just for fun. It wound up being: (a) a great decision, and (b) a way for me to seriously think about my future after graduation.

After
graduating in May of 2002, I struggled most of the summer finding a
starting point in the magazine industry. After a few interviews, information
sessions and many revises of my cover letter, I heard about Ed2010 from
a friend and dedicated myself to searching its whispers everyday. In
mid-August I saw a small notice about an internship at Parenting
and immediately faxed my information. About a week later, I was there
for an interview and by the end of the month was settled in to The Parenting

After graduating from Syracuse University, Nathan Whitney snagged his gig as an editorial assistant at CVC Report, a music video trade magazine, from an ad on Ed2010's job page.

I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your site and how helpful I've found it. It is very hard to find published job advertisements, and, when I do, maneuvering around those sites can be very daunting. Your listings are easy to navigate and full of information. Also, the additional job links provided are wonderful. Thanks again for such a useful and well put together site!

I graduated in May 2009 and landed an editorial assistant position at a national magazine a few weeks later. A billion thanks to Chandra and the Ed2010 community - and here’s why. Two of my internships came from WhisperJobs, I attended last year’s Kick-A** intern panel, did a one-on-one resume critique, and attended the Ed2010 conference. All the advice from the conference was spot on - I contacted HR reps and did several informationals the week I graduated. My resume was passed on to the executive editor, and I was called in for an interview.
