Application Procedures
When applying, your application package should contain the following:
1. Resume, and Letters of Reference
In addition to your resume, you should also include three letters of reference. Letters of reference should come from people who you have worked with in some capacity. Teachers, academic advisors, former supervisors, and members of organizations you’ve volunteered for make great references.

2. A Fully Completed, Signed, and Dated Application
Including completed essay questions.

3. Supporting Materials
Some internship positions require additional application items, such as design, writing or audio samples. Audio samples should be on CD (either as an audio CD, or MP3 files burned to a CD-ROM). Design samples should be PDFs on a CD-ROM.

Submission
Once you’ve assembled all required materials, you can submit them one of two ways.

You can send an E-mail to: internships@ChicagoPublicRadio.org with the subject INTERN APPLICANT: [Your Name]. In a single E-mail, please attach your resume, writing samples, and application answers as a Microsoft Word (.doc), Adobe Acrobat (.pdf), Rich Text Format (.rtf), or a Plain Text (.txt) file. Word Perfect files will not be accepted. The body of your E-mail should contain your “cover letter.”
