D‘s Spring Intern Search is in Full Force, Résumés Make Us Cringe

By Kristiana Heap |

Krista Nightengale and I spent much of today up to our ears in applications for spring internships. A few things we noticed: No one wants to be a journalist anymore–a good 80 percent of applications were for the marketing department, which means journalism professors may finally be getting through to kids about the lack of jobs in the field. The one-page résumé is apparently a thing of the past. (It baffled us, but some professors are telling students it is OK to send potential employers three-page résumés. Don’t listen to those teachers, kids, because it isn’t a good idea. Unless you’ve had 50 years of experience, keep it to one page.) And proper AP Style is a rare thing in aspiring journalists’ CVs.
