Later, when I moved away to technology industry, I had less exposure to interns, but have kept one very simple rule: You don't get paid, but I will make sure you will have a full page full of accomplishments to pick from for your resume and you will use lessons we taught you for a long time. Or I will pay you minimum wage and you will do gruntwork and you will have zero chance of ever getting a full time gig with us. Everything else stems from that rule. Most passionate guys and gals I ever worked with (as interns) wanted no money and all the experience they could get. I always make sure to have a good surprise reward for the best ones, when they head into the real world. Lastly, I would never consider anyone for internship who can't give us at least 20 hours per week. It is just not worth the investment of time and an intern can't get kick ass experience anyway.

We have one intern working with us for Mass Innovation Nights but can always use others. Plus, I'm looking for a couple of interns for Accounting Management Solutions. (Will be hopefully getting some Northeastern co-ops in 2010 -- love their co-op program. It's great to work with the kids full-time for 6 months. They learn a ton!) LOL, yes!
