UPDATE: I recently took a position with an entertainment management company in New York City.  I’m very excited for the position and can’t wait to move back to the city.  Thank you everyone for all your support regarding my RFP.  The response was overwhelming and humbling.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
I’m Sarah Merion and I go to Northeastern University in Boston.  I study Finance and Management Information Systems, with a minor in Spanish.  Northeastern is a cool school.  If you don’t know about it, they have a co-op program.

Um…. what is co-op?  Co-op is a program in which students work for a company for 6 months.  During that time, we don’t go to school – we work full-time, paid positions and get real world, hands on experience.  They like to call this approach “experiential learning” or “practical education”.

I’ve previously co-op’ed (yes, we use it as a verb) with the Institutional Sales team at a large fund of hedge funds in New York City.  That was from July to December of last year, and what a WILD RIDE it was!!

Now, I’m looking to do another co-op to start in July.

HERE’S WHERE YOU COME IN
I’m taking Requests for Proposals TO HIRE ME TO WORK FOR YOU!!!  Entrepreneurs are sprouting up like crazy.  I know there are a bunch out there that are doing awesome things and are busting at the seams with capacity issues.  I CAN HELP YOU!!  All I require is that it is a full time, paid position.
