  • Recent college grads who want a uniquely broad perspective of the book publishing industry before joining one area and business professionals looking to make a career change—Rotate through key departments while you observe the business, make contacts, and find your place.

Rotations depend on the business needs at the time: Write jacket and flap copy and answer phones. Prepare press kits and make copies. Scan art and handle filing. Prepare purchase orders and screen mail. Clear permissions requests and schedule meetings. And be warned that this isn't for everyone. You must be driven, fast, adaptable, organized and undaunted by the unexpected. A college degree or experience working in a corporate environment is required. http://www.harpercollinscareers.com/careers/students/st_rotational.html
