Through the years, we have had some great interns at Elements, and we are looking for another such intern to add to our team for Summer 2011 and possibly longer. See the job description after the profile of former Elements intern, Kyle Tildsley, a 2010 graduate of Quinnipiac University. Below, Kyle reflects on his internship and how it helped him launch his career.

“My internship at Elements was more than just an internship it became a strategic career move. Working with Amy, Chelsea and the rest of the team on a daily basis quickly became the norm for me. As a college student in my senior year, I was excited to learn more about marketing, public relations and design in a creative environment. Elements was just that place. I was challenged on a regular basis and asked my opinion on a number of client projects. I was able to really get my feet wet and learn more about the industry from creating press releases to assisting in new branding campaigns.
Amy and the rest of the staff really wanted me to excel and took an interest in me. I was invited to industry events outside of work to learn more and continue my grown. At Elements, I learned this truly is the industry I want to be in and I did just that. The skills I learned at Elements enabled me to peruse a career in Public Relations.”
Kyle now works as a Junior Associate at PAN Communications, a public relations firm in his home state of Massachusetts {they’re moving their offices to Boston in just 50 days.} Connect with Kyle on Twitter and LinkedIn.
