Kind of late to be asking, isn't it? I'm doing an internship at Facebook, and I'm reasonably sure they've finished hiring interns (about 300 of 'em).

dtwwtd• 15 years ago

It might be late for the larger companies who do hiring through school via career fairs and such. However, I have a few friends who are still talking with some small to mid size startups about internships. It seems to me that the smaller companies don't follow the same intern hiring schedule (or the students that didn't get offers from Facebook, Google, etc are now exploring other options).

andrewmunn2• 15 years ago

Oh Derek, always bragging about your internships at Facebook. Anyway, I think Google is still hiring summer interns. There are always a few stragglers.

loveatlonglast• 15 years ago

Oh munn, always chiming in at unfortunate times!

You might want to give InternMatch a try:

http://www.internmatch.com

They've also got a competition going. Not sure what timeframe its internships are for, but here's a link:

wikyd• 15 years ago

The timeframe for these internships is rolling. I'm sure most of the startups would accept an intern tomorrow, but will wait for the summer as well.

101north• 15 years ago

Check out internmatch.com to find one. They're a 500 Startups company (most recent class), and seem to have some decent inventory on there already. Good luck!

I remember going into your office during an open house late last year and then laughing way to much at your company's name. Made things a bit awkward, but the table tennis was fun!

For what it's worth GazeHawk has a great location in downtown MV!

Love your website but you have some serious pixelation around your logo. You should consider changing the logo from a transparent png to just a regular block with the green background. Also, you should ensure that there is no fragmentation there.

ctb92• 15 years ago

Thanks for the heads up. I just checked out upout, really cool idea and great UI.

To try to return the favor: on your about page, you link to /karma.html, instead of /karma.
