Position: Intern

Cabinet accepts interns three times during the year – January, September, and June. We would prefer that interns make a three- to four-month commitment for ten to fifteen hours per week. Because we’re a quarterly, the three-four month term allows every intern to see the process of publishing a small magazine from start to finish. Within these parameters, scheduling is very flexible. All intern positions are unpaid. Please submit your resume at least two months in advance of the term for which you’d like to apply (November 1, April 1, and July 1, are the three deadlines).

Interns must be hard-working, self-starting, meticulous, and interested in culture. We are a small non-profit, which means that everyone is involved in everything. Interns are expected to willingly assist in the everyday administrative tasks that are crucial to making the magazine happen, such as packaging and sending mail, unloading boxes, and running errands. All staff members are equally involved with these tasks, which we consider no less important to the magazine than the research or editing of content. We particularly encourage applicants curious about all aspects of magazine publication.

Other areas of involvement will typically include a combination of the following:

Research (for both article ideas and images)
Administrative (assist in fulfilling subscriptions, helping with fundraising efforts, etc.)
Circulation (helping place the magazine in more venues and to increase the number of subscribers)
Editorial (proofreading, fact-checking, coordinating with writers appropriate images for their text)
Marketing (helping with press releases, extra events, etc.)
Design (proficiency in Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign/Quark needed)

In addition to publishing the magazine, Cabinet is always involved with a number of special projects, such as books, exhibitions, and special events. Interns may be specifically assigned to these projects.

Although we receive resumes from a great number of highly-qualified applicants, we cannot efficiently take on more than a few interns at any given time. Please keep in mind that we will give preference to those with skill sets that we particularly need at the time of application.

Resumes can be sent to e-mail address with the subject line "Internship" or to the address below. Use of corporate jargon (eg; words like "efficiency," "productivity," "product," "exciting," etc.) is strongly discouraged, as is moving to New York from another country solely for an internship with us.
