Spring 2015 semester interns, CLS Strategies, Washington, D.C.

CLS Strategies, a mid-sized Washington, D.C.-based communications firm, is currently seeking interns for the Spring 2015 semester (January – May).

CLS Strategies serves a range of clients – including Fortune 100 corporations, high-profile individuals, foreign governments and international organizations, trade associations and non-profits. Some need to protect their reputations from intense threats. Others are trying to shape new laws. All are looking for creative, outside-the-box solutions that bring together politics, public policy and media/communications.

Interns are an integral part of CLS Strategies. They monitor the media for breaking news and relevant commentary, research public policy issues, attend briefings on the Hill and at local think tanks, plan and execute events, provide administrative support and assist with strategic thinking for a broad range of domestic and international clients. The small size of our firm allows interns to work closely with senior staff members and provides opportunities for substantive work.

Candidates must be able to juggle a range of tasks and work well under pressure. Previous office environment experience and a major in communications, public relations, journalism or political science is preferred, but not required. Foreign language proficiency, especially in Spanish, and social media expertise are pluses.

This is a paid internship starting in January 2015. College credit can also be given in lieu of pay. Start and end dates are negotiable. Please indicate in your cover letter whether you are applying for a full (5 days/week) or part-time (3 days/week) internship.

Interested applicants should e-mail a PDF copy of your resume and cover letter to internships@CLSstrategies.com with the subject header “Spring 2015 Intern Application.” Please be sure to include your name in the file names. The deadline for all applications is Friday, October 24. Due to the large number of applicants, we will not be accepting any candidates after that date.
