TheCelebrityCafe.com is accepting applications from college students with exceptional communication skills, strong social media presence, and passion for writing.
This is not your average writing or editing internship program. Every story we publish has a chance of making it big on top search engines like Google News. Right now, one of our summer interns has had a story in our top ten most viewed for 6 weeks straight and has gotten over 46,000 page views.
How’s that for resume-building?
It does help that TheCelebrityCafe.com has over 4 million monthly readers.
