We're all well-versed in the predictable shenanigans of The Devil Wears Prada. It's really no secret that assistants in the fashion and media industry work long hours, slogging away well into the night to complete menial assignments dished out by their superiors with little or no thanks, and some of the time, little or no respect. But to be fair, that's their job. Heck, many would say they're lucky to have the job at all. They get paid to "start somewhere." Interns on the other hand, do not. And this, it seems, is where the lines get blurry and lawsuits get filed. More »

When we were interns, our biggest concern was finding enough busy-work to look occupied. That's passe: nowadays, "stories of interns abusing their meager status are abundant." More »

Last night's episode of Kell on Earth demonstrated that lack of common sense is actually very common within the fashion/publicity industry, from incompetent interns to Vanity Fair's George Wayne, who took an "energy crystal" from Kelly... which he then swallowed. More »

It's getting close to the season when the young, ambitious and unemployed (or partially-employed) begin to sniff around for internships. Well, we've got some. We're looking for two intelligent, curious, opinionated and, most importantly, energetic junior Jezebels for internships running from June through August. A passion for and keen understanding of pop culture (everything from The Hills to the History Channel), women's issues, current events, the web, and the print media (particularly the ladymags we love to hate) are, obviously, major pluses. (You do not need to live in NYC or be in school.) More »

Do you live in NYC and have a desire to work for free? We're looking for a video slave intern to help out with some grunt work on shoots, as well as archiving, TV guide reading, and all the other crap that we desperately need done but don't have the time to do. We'd prefer someone who has a background in or is currently studying film/video. You also need to know how to work a DVD burner, upload video files, come equipped with your own laptop, and be both organized and patient (you will have to work on Pot Psychology and be sober around stoners). Send your resume — no attachments please — and a one-paragraph introductory note in the body of an email to tips@jezebel.com. More »

Interns have had a reputation as office mattresses for quite a while now, and the recent spate of intern-whoring at magazines is only making matters worse. First Teen Vogue creates an entire brand around a couple of marginally-intelligent and barely legal blondes, and then last week, Blackbook realized the viral marketing success of Aussie editorial intern and subway object of affection Camille Hayton and decided to sell out their adorable marketing intern by offering a dream date with her. Now, Canadian mag Flare is looking for a fashion intern. The catch is that to apply, applicants must send in a video pitch, which will be voted on by flare.com's readers. More »

On Friday I posted a call for Fashion Week interns in which I requested head shots, measurements and top five favorite designers. After the jump, I wrote the words "Oh, for Chrissakes." As if to say, "Oh, for the love of Anna Wintour and all Her loyal Apostles, JOKE." Which I obviously should have just, you know, said. But your tasteful headshots — and admirable measurements, and really depressing comments — reminded us of one of the reasons we went into this whole "halfhearted feminism lite" business in the first place. As whole industries move offshore and get replaced by reality TV shows about those industries, a rabid, fetishistic focus on personal appearance — and sense of "personal style" — as the only surefire way to differentiate oneself from the striving masses has made everyone, women disproportionately, really fucking stupid. (Also: broke.) This is not something we endorse. Honestly, we could give a shit what you look like — and as any employer or slaveowner knows, we'd have to have a few more lawyers on retainer if we did. So once again, we invite you to be a Jezebel Fashion Week intern. More »

We always thought there was something really suspicious and Penthouse 'Letters'-y about the Teen Vogue "intern blog", and the other day, upon reading the virgin post of new Intern Juli — pictured somewhat ridiculously at left — we finally figured out why! For your consideration, examples from three separate interns' recent dispatches:

• Juli:"I was so stressed when deciding what to wear to my interview. I ran around all day in a panic."

We've said this before, but sometimes we just don't know what to make of Teen Vogue and its readers, particularly when it comes to the magazine's interns, who are both the subjects of a uniquely bad reality television show and the ostensible writers of a generically-bad blog called "Behind the Seams". We'd say all the interns offend us as much as Emily Weiss, does, but only half of them actually do. (Cynthia!) And, actually it's the comments posted by readers that really get us. Like, Are they for real? (And therefore, this afternoon's sign of the apocalypse?) Or are they sly, but kinda poorly-executed jokes? Here, verbatim, are some of our favorite head-scratchers from the Teen Vogue website from today: More »
