Hi,
Last fall I was an intern in Vancouver, BC and had to seek out my own
placement. The points you named below were the two major selling points,
certainly. I would reccomend looking at http://www.stec.uvic.ca/acp.html#mod2, which is the University of Victoria's
home page for this sort of thing and might be informative. Thanks. DB.

Subject: Benefits of hiring an intern?
Okay, I'm sold on hiring an intern. But, I'm
currently working on a proposal for hiring
this individual, and can't think of what to
put in the "what's in it for us" section...
and certain people I've got to get this by
are going to be very much into the what's in
it for us part.
The things I've come up with so far are:
* inexpensive labor that can handle some
of the more tedious tasks (isn't that
the main reason to hire 'em? :-)
* potential to hire the intern on as an
employee after the internship is
complete.
Can you help me come up with other benefits
of hiring a technical writing intern?
