There may be no “u” in Qorvis, but there is certainly room for you. If Qorvis said something that corny, you probably wouldn’t want to work for them. Since Qorvis is a communications and public relations firm, they’re smart enough not to use slogans like the one I just came up with. Instead they rely on a nice looking Careers site and a hard to pronounce name to recruit interns.
To be honest, we have no idea how to pronounce Qorvis’ name. A Google search was unsuccessful, and we don’t know where else to look. Still, we recommend that you figure it out before you set up a phone interview (assuming you get one). It’s pretty awkward to say the name wrong a dozen times before the interviewer finally says it with a completely different pronunciation. Qorvis (however you’re saying it inside your head) is a communications firm based out of McLean, VA, and they’re looking for interns who have a strong interest in public relations and communications.
Qorvis’ internships page is pretty basic, and there aren’t any actual internship listings; however, they do say that they offer internships in the spring, summer, and fall. Students should have a 3.0 or higher GPA and strong writing and editing skills. They prefer Communications, Public Relations, Journalism, Business and Marketing majors, but students from any major are welcome to apply.
Interns will “work with our experienced staff on planning and executing special events, and on how to formulate and enact crisis communication plans.” They’ll also have access to Qorvis University, which is an employee development program that focuses on topics in the field of communications. They’ve brought in guest speakers like Malcolm Gladwell and George Stephanopoulos, so this isn’t some low budget affair.
The Qorvis Internships page, and Careers site as a whole, is simple and uncluttered. It’s easy to navigate, which puts them ahead of most companies; however, the site is also a little light on content. We’d love to get a more in-depth look at their internship program. We’d also like if they told candidates how to apply. Whoops. We’ll assume that they expect applicants to send a resume and cover letter to opportunities@qorvis.com, but we think this might be a perfect opportunity to standout by being remarkable.
