Leading companies offering internships via the contest, include: Environmental Defense; Enterprise Rent-A-Car; Northwestern Mutual Financial Network; and Focus Features, a top independent worldwide movie company whose award-winning films include "Brokeback Mountain," "The Constant Gardener," and "Pride & Prejudice," and sibling company Rogue Pictures, whose hits include "Hot Fuzz" and "Jet Li's Fearless."
"Whether a student aspires to become a Hollywood heavyweight, stop global-warming, or rule the boardroom, there are opportunities out there now to help them develop their future career path," said Julie Goldthwait, vice president and general manager, MonsterTRAK.
The following "Ultimate Internships" are now up for grabs:
-- Movie Marketing Internship - Focus Features is a motion picture production, financing, and worldwide distribution company, committed to bringing moviegoers the most original stories from the world's most innovative filmmakers. The company is looking to fill internship positions in both its New York City and Los Angeles offices. Through working in the marketing department of Focus and/or sibling company Rogue Pictures, the selected interns will learn the process - from conceptualization through execution - of how major motion pictures are positioned and marketed via advertising, public relations, and promotions.
-- Environmental Marketing Internship - Environmental Defense, a leading national nonprofit environmental organization, is seeking a summer intern to help influence environmental policies through communications efforts. The student intern will work directly with experts in science, law, economics, and other environmental professionals to secure broader recognition of the organization's advocacy efforts.

The intern selected will also have an opportunity to fly to the St Louis corporate headquarters for a day with Enterprise executives.
"Work-related experience in a desired field is critical for college students, as 70 percent(a) of employers weigh work experience and personal characteristics more heavily than educational experience when considering entry-level job candidates," added Goldthwait. "Through internship programs, students can not only test-drive a career but also gain skills and useful information for future job interviews."
