Paste offers internships in our editorial departments. Internships are offered year-round to both current students and recent graduates. A one-time $800 stipend will be provided to all interns at the completion of their internship. Visit our [INFO PAGE] for more about each kind of internship and how to apply.
Q. What are Paste’s business hours?
A. Monday-Friday, 9 AM-6 PM Eastern Time (excepting most major holidays).
Q. When are internships offered?
A. Our internships are offered year-round. Spring internships run January through April. Summer internships run May through August. Fall internships run September through December.
Q. Whoops, I just missed the deadline! Can I still apply?
A. No application materials will be accepted for a given term after that term’s deadline has passed. However, you are welcome to apply for any upcoming terms.
Q. Are internships part-time or full-time?
A. We offer part-time internships that accommodate work or class schedules, but due to the 1:1 mentorship structure of our program we are typically looking for around 20 hours a week of availability (which is flexible outside business hours to work on writing assignments).
Q. Do I have to receive academic credit for my internship?
A. No. However, we are happy to fill out any paperwork required of those students who are taking the internship for course credit.
Q. I have a full-time job. Can I still apply?
A. Certainly, as long as your full-time job does not conflict with Paste’s regular business hours. While we are flexible, if you are unavailable during the majority of those hours for most of the week, we unfortunately will not be able to accommodate you.
Q. I’m not currently a college student. Is there an age limit to interns?
A. No, our internships are open to both current college students and graduates alike.
Q. I’m in high school. Are there any internship opportunities for me??
A. Currently, we don’t offer a high school internship program. However, we have in the past and it’s possible that we will have one in the future. Please email [email protected] to express your interest and we will be in touch if the program is expanded.
Q. How many internships are offered each term?
A. Generally offer internships to 4-5 applicants per term.
Q. Will you hire me after my internship?
A. We cannot and do not promise employment to interns. However, past interns are always welcome to apply for any positions that open up within the company for which they may be qualified, and many continue to freelance for us.
