1. Are your internships paid?

All of our internships are unpaid.

2. What hours will I work?

We offer only part-time (25 - 30 hours per week) unpaid internships.

3. Where are your internships located?

This is a remote position until further notice.

4. When will I hear whether or not I was accepted into NAWJ’s internship program?

Our hiring timeline is very flexible and variable. We review applications on a rolling basis and will sometimes hire interns long before an internship semester starts.

5. Do you require recommendations or writing samples?

Interns are selected on the basis of their application, cover letter, resume, references and phone interview(s). We do not require applicants to include recommendations or writing samples in their application materials.

6. Do you accept applications through internship placement programs?

NAWJ welcomes applications from students who are involved in an internship placement program. We do require, however, that these applicants comply with our application process. While internship placement program staff are welcomed to initiate contact with us, we strongly prefer to communicate directly with applicants.
