Application Procedures
When applying, your application package should contain the following:
1. Resume, and Letters of Reference
In addition to your resume, you should also include three letters of reference. Letters of reference should come from people who you have worked with in some capacity. Teachers, academic advisors, former supervisors, and members of organizations you’ve volunteered for make great references.

2. A Fully Completed, Signed, and Dated Application
Including completed essay questions.

3. Supporting Materials
Some internship positions require additional application items, such as design, writing or audio samples. Audio samples should be on CD (either as an audio CD, or MP3 files burned to a CD-ROM). Design samples should be PDFs on a CD-ROM.

Submission
Once you’ve assembled all required materials, you can submit them one of two ways.

Electronically
You can send an E-mail to: internships@ChicagoPublicRadio.org with the subject INTERN APPLICANT: [Your Name]. In a single E-mail, please attach your resume, writing samples, and application answers as a Microsoft Word (.doc), Adobe Acrobat (.pdf), Rich Text Format (.rtf), or a Plain Text (.txt) file. Word Perfect files will not be accepted. The body of your E-mail should contain your “cover letter.”

Paper
Send your complete application and all materials to the following address:

Internships
Chicago Public Radio
Navy Pier
848 East Grand Avenue
Chicago, IL 60611

Please note: If you are applying for a production internship and you wish to include audio samples of your work, your application must be sent via regular post mail with a CD included. All materials become property of Chicago Public Radio and will not be returned.

Please do not staple papers. Use only binder and/or paper clips.
