Interns are extremely helpful to our business and we try exceptionally hard to make sure that everyone who completes an internship with us learns a ton, is exposed to all facets of internet marketing, and feels like a part of our team. We also have a habit of hiring our interns, so in addition to enjoying a minimum of 20 hours per week interning, there could be something more in it for you. No matter what, an internship at Overdrive will expose you to a wealth of digital marketing knowledge and provide a great foundation for your professional development.
