機(jī)構(gòu)：Intern Sushi

????27歲的薩拉?辛德羅夫是Intern Sushi網(wǎng)站的創(chuàng)始人兼CEO，對于枯燥的實(shí)習(xí)生工作，她深有體會?！叭藗冋f我泡的紅茶簡直無敵了?！彼埠芮宄岆娪?、電視、時(shí)尚和體育行業(yè)那些鐵石心腸的老板看一眼你的簡歷，必須得有“內(nèi)線”幫忙才行。

????Intern Sushi的建立可以幫助大部分抱負(fù)不凡的求職者們，在求職過程中占據(jù)先機(jī)。實(shí)習(xí)崗位求職者可以更有創(chuàng)意地推銷自己，比如發(fā)布視頻和其他媒體文件，而不是投遞簡歷或求職信。求職者可以免費(fèi)成為網(wǎng)站普通會員，但高級會員（高級會員特權(quán)包括提前得知實(shí)習(xí)機(jī)會，并且申請次數(shù)不受限）每個(gè)月的會費(fèi)是8.99美元。在十二月份網(wǎng)站成立時(shí)簽訂合約的2,600家公司均可免費(fèi)獲得該網(wǎng)站的服務(wù)，部分機(jī)構(gòu)甚至將該網(wǎng)站作為招聘實(shí)習(xí)生（有薪實(shí)習(xí)或無薪實(shí)習(xí)）的唯一途徑，艾倫?德杰尼勒斯秀（The Ellen DeGeneres Show）便是其中之一。目前，公司正在跟蹤調(diào)查由實(shí)習(xí)轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)殚L期正式工作的崗位數(shù)量。

????Intern Sushi建議求職者“挑剔一點(diǎn)”。也就是說，不要為了讓自己的履歷看起來體面而接受某份工作。目前，網(wǎng)站共有20,000名用戶，遍及美國15個(gè)城市，已有1,000多名用戶找到了工作。網(wǎng)站未來的目標(biāo)是擴(kuò)張到全美。

Organization: Intern Sushi

????Shara Senderoff, the 27-year-old founder and CEO of the website Intern Sushi, knows what it's like to do scutwork as an intern. "I was told I made the world's best iced tea." She also knows that getting employers in the hard-to-crack fields of film, television, fashion, and sports to even look at your resume often requires connections on the inside.

????Intern Sushi's setup helps the most ambitious applicants get a leg up in the application process. Prospective interns submit videos and other media instead of resumes and cover letters, giving applicants a chance to sell themselves more creatively. Applicants can join the site for free, but premium membership (which gives you early access to internship openings and unlimited application privileges) costs $8.99 a month. The service is free for the 2,600 companies that have signed on since the site's December launch, and some outfits -- like The Ellen DeGeneres Show -- have begun to hire interns (both paid and unpaid) exclusively through the site. The company is also looking into tracking how many internships turn into long-term jobs.

????Intern Sushi advises applicants to "Be picky"; in other words, they shouldn't just go for jobs that will look good on a resume. It has placed over 1,000 of its 20,000 users in 15 cities, and it's about to go national.
