CBS will be on campus today and tomorrow, looking for the next Dan Rather.

The company is looking for approximately 80 students from colleges all over the country to work in New York, Washington D.C., Los Angeles, London and Tokyo. Internships will be available for students in several majors, including journalism, English and law.

“It’s a great chance for students in so many fields of study to get an internship with one of the most prolific companies in the world and work in some of the most exciting cities in the world,” said Tim Harman, placement director for Arts and Sciences Career Services.

The interview process will begin 6 p.m. tonight in Independence Hall with an information session that is open to all students. The information session will be hosted by Katie Curcio, CBS News internship coordinator.

On Tuesday between 10:00-11:30 a.m. and 2:30-4:30 p.m., students will have a chance to meet with Harman and Curcio. Each interview will be limited in time, so that they can meet with as many interested students as possible.

“We’ll be looking for outgoing, responsible students who want to work hard and really care about the news business,” Curcio said. “We’ll just ask them some basic current events questions and try and learn as much as we can about them in the short window that we have.”

While the focus is on internships, Curcio said she will also meet with students who are looking for a job after they graduate.

“I’d be happy to meet with anyone who’s really interested in working for CBS,” Curcio said. “I can take applications, give them some contact information and tell them a little bit about what the business is like.”

Career services is confident that the students will impress Curcio and prove that they have plenty to offer CBS.

“The university is showing how much the product (students) have improved over the last few years,” Harman said. “We’ve raised the academic standards at OSU, and I’m proud that we’re being recognized for it.”

This visit will also give career services a chance to show students that they have a lot to offer in terms of finding a job or internship.

“We want to use this to showcase our career services department and show the the fruits of our labor,” Harman said. “We also want to let the students know that we can help them with so many things when it comes to finding a job or internship, whether it be making contacts, resume building or numerous other services.”
