Part-time jobs, internships offer JMC experience in Abilene

Here's one more item for your "to do" list before leaving campus for the holidays: secure a part-time job or internship for the spring semester that will enhance your resume. 

Final exams and plans for the Christmas break may be dominating your thoughts right now but here are a couple of opportunities worth checking out before you pack the car, turn out the lights and hit the road:

• Abilene Christian University Press is looking for a part-time student worker (10-15 hours per week) who can perform a variety of public relations, marketing and administrative tasks.  Dr. Larry Fitzgerald, director of marketing, said he prefers someone who can work in December and January during the break and possibly next summer.  For the right student, this position may qualify for a JMC internship.  You can learn more about ACU Press (and Leafwood Publishers) by visiting their Web site.  You may reach Dr. Fitzgerald at lxf07a@acu.edu or by calling 325-674-2870. 
  
• West Texas Rehabilitation Center is seeking a part-time (20 hours per week) administrative assistant for their marketing department.  While this position is primarily administrative, it is a chance to gain experience in one of the city's busiest and most successful nonprofit marketing departments.  Applicants must be proficient in Microsoft Word and Excel, have an outgoing personality and a good work ethic.  This is a year-round position, not just for the school year, so the applicant must live in the Abilene area and be available during the summer and school holidays.  To apply, contact Deonna Galbraith, marketing director, at dgalbraith@wtrc.com or call 325-793-3525.

While we have no specific requests, keep in mind that Abilene's media outlets are often looking for part-time help or interns.  This includes TV stations, radio stations and the Abilene Reporter-News newspaper. 

Best wishes to everyone on final exams and your plans for the Christmas holiday.
