When it comes to entry level jobs and internships, I consider myself to be a trendhunter. I usually have a pretty good pulse on what goes on with the employment of young people. Unfortunately, when it comes to trends surrounding things that are much cooler than jobs and internships, I’m not so forward looking. That’s ok by me, though, because I can always turn to Trend Hunter Magazine for the inside scoop on what’s up and coming in just about any genre. Right now it’s 3D Body Art, Skin Lacing, Sexy Politicans, Super Stretch Motorcycles, and Mythological Homes. Last week it was Reverse Photoshopped Art, Alien Sound Systems, and Shocking Animal Sculptures. I have no idea what half of those things are, but if I want to, Trend Hunter will tell me. If this sounds cool to you, then keep reading. If it doesn’t, keep reading anyway to find out the latest trend in intern compensation.
Trend Hunter is based out of Toronto, Canada, and they’re doing pretty well judging by the web traffic that they report. In fact, they’re doing well enough to compensate their interns. Not only are they offering a stipend, but they’re also offering Editorial Journalist Interns a slice of their Adsense revenue. Some know Adsense better as “webmaster welfare.” It’s those little Google Ads that you see across many sites (although not this one). Anyway, depending on how effective Trend Hunter is at converting ad clicks, that could pay pretty well – assuming you discover some pretty cool trends that pull in a lot of traffic to the posts that you write. The full internship description can be found here, and you can apply through Trend Hunter’s Contact page.
