Students find fun working summer jobs, internships By HEATHER CAMPBELL THE BATTALION Shaking hands with the presi dent of the United States and meeting high-profile V.I.P.s was an everyday affair this summer for Bonny Kate Marshall, a sen ior marketing major who interned at the White House in Washington, D.C. As students embarked on the search for the perfect summer job, many sought employment where they would feel comfort able while receiving expertise in a certain field. Part of the chal lenge of landing such an ideal situation, however, includes completing an impressive inter view with a potential employer. Marshall, for example, complet ed two phone interviews before being hired by the executive office of presidential scheduling. Part of her job was to sort through the president’s mail and to decide what events he could attend every day. Marshall sort ed through numerous letters from people of all ages asking for President George W. Bush’s appearance at events. Small children even asked if they could bring their sleeping bags and spend the night with the president. “We had to prioritize the pres ident’s schedule because, obvi ously, he couldn’t go to every thing,” Marshall said. “We bal anced the events he attended, so he would have enough time to The time flew and there was never a dull moment. >9 — Bonny Kate Marshall White House summer intern meet with people about issues going on in our country.” Marshall said her job helped her to be introduced to celebrities and political figures. “I remember just being in awe when authorities and famous people would walk in his office every day,” Marshall said. “We met the entire cabinet including Colin Powell. Mel Gibson and Ben Affieck were also there this summer.” Marshall also said the intern ship included definite fringe ben efits. She not only knew where President Bush was at all times, but she also met him and had the opportunity to talk to him. “1 shook his hand as the media snapped pictures of us,” Marshall said. “He personally signed the picture and took the time to talk with me for a while.” Marshall and her fellow interns appeared on the front page of The Washington Times standing with the president and Vice President Dick Cheney. Marshall worked 13-hour days, which would be considered extreme to most, but she said that working with the president made it worthwhile. “The time flew, and there was never a dull moment,” Marshall said. “The most memorable day was when we got evacuated from the White House becaus] thought there was a bom!
