Dear English Majors and Minors,

If you're graduating this May and looking for a summer job, this looks like an interesting opportunity. See below for more details. 

Before you apply to any position, I highly recommend you get in touch with someone at the Career Resource Center (https://www.qc.cuny.edu/studentlife/services/career/Pages/default.aspx) They can also give you feedback on your resume and cover letter, which can be invaluable. Take advantage of it before you graduate! (They will also help alumni, but you might as well get the help when you're on campus.) Upload your resume here: https://www.qc.cuny.edu/StudentLife/services/career/Pages/Symplicity-Login.aspx to receive feedback.

all the best,

Karen Weingarten
