    • Organized, preferably obsessively so.
    • A background, or at the very least a keen interest in fine art, photography + design.
    • Intelligent and enthusiastic. You possess a sense of humor.
    • Reliable. You stick to your commitments and are dedicated to making it work.
    • Motivated: You’re ready to take charge and find the resources you need to get the job done.
    • A way with words. Grammar, spelling, style—we want it all!
    • Internet savvy. Flickr is your friend. You're no stranger to Facebook, you read way too many blogs, and maybe you even have one of your own.
    • Handy? Know your way around a hammer, a level, a cordless drill? How about a paintbrush? We love you.
    Sound good? Send us an email! It's super important that you follow the guidelines below, and include your cover in the body of the email:
    • Tell us what you're looking for in an internship, and what you find particularly appealing and/or interesting about Jen Bekman Projects.

    • Include your resume. (That can be an attachment, but remember, your cover letter goes in the body of the email.)
    • Also include a link to your website or examples of design, blog posts or anything else you've created that you think we should see.
    Please don't be terribly formal. That's boring. And yes, we're picky—boilerplate covers go straight to the circular file. Be original! Also, like we said above, the guidelines are important—be sure to follow them. ]]>
