Easter is almost here, and since we’ll be covering a non-profit on Sunday, it’s time to talk about candy again! Last year we checked out internships at Just Born Quality Confections (the manufacturer of Peeps), so this year we need to give jelly beans their due respect. And if we’re talking about jelly beans, it’s hard to ignore Jelly Belly. Although I have a soft spot for those simpler jelly beans with less creative flavors (except for the nasty licorice flavored ones), I know that Jelly Belly is the king of the jelly bean industry. They offer an insane variety of flavors that includes Buttered Popcorn, Cotton Candy, Toasted Marshmallow, and Jalapeño. While Fairfield, CA basedJelly Belly has branched out a bit from their jelly bean roots, they seem quite committed to furthering the success of the bean. They’ve even brought jelly beans to the sports market to compete with the drinks and gels that most people are accustomed to.
It’s hard to go through the weeks leading up to and after Easter without popping at least one jelly bean in your mouth. That’s why it should be obvious to you to consider an internship with Jelly Belly – assuming that you actually like jelly beans. How does one find an internship with Jelly Belly? Good question! Jelly Belly doesn’t offer any information about internships on their website or on their Careers page. In fact, the only online mention about Jelly Belly internships that I can find is this article about their VP of HR (at least he was in 2006) who started as an intern. You’d think that if their VP of HR started as an intern, they’d continue the tradition of attracting talented people while they’re still in college. That means that it’s up to you you to use the information on Jelly Belly’s Careers page to reach out to them and see if an internships is a possibility.
