**Additional info from Patrick:

Putting "Wall Street Oasis" on their resume when they are trying to break onto Wall Street is a nice experience to have, even if it is just 1-2 bullets - it looks like the perfect internship, in a time when it is damn hard to find relevant experience. For many of our previous interns the internship experience has helped them tremendously.

[quote]And if they do a good job, I am willing to serve as a personal reference for the interns that show a dedication to WSO and help us move forward. I can vouch that they busted their ass and are hard workers - exactly what banks are looking for. I wrote a great endorsement for a previous intern on LinkedIn, the intern that built our entire finance dictionary from scratch and did an amazing job. He now has me as a personal reference any time he is applying for jobs because he went above and beyond my expectations.

— Patrick Curtis, Chief Monkey



Testimonials:

Being an Intern at WSO was a delight. From a strong collaboration to a unique vision, the team of interns had an incredible ability to work together and reach a common goal. It was nice strategizing with people from different parts of the world and analysing different ways that could be utilized to improve the web traffic. Reading and understanding recent articles in the field of Finance (and often from a variety of other fields) was also great learning opportunity. Furthermore, the knowledge and insights gained in relation to field of marketing was far beyond imagination. Besides the fact that it was overall an awesome learning experience, it also came with some tangible benefits – useful networking guides, resume review, endorsements, etc. Great experience, highly recommend it!

— Kahir (SEO intern, summer 2012)

It wasn't only fascinating to be involved with the preeminent online Wall Street community's daily operations, but interning at Wall Street Oasis helped set me apart during interviews from others with more run-of-the-mill work experiences. For those that knew of the site it served as a great conversation starter, for those that didn't, the name caught their eye and I was able to prove my interest in the financial services industry in a way they hadn't heard a million times before. In addition, working in close contact with the CEO and COO of Wall Street Oasis was an excellent learning experience and tended to be very well received by interviewers. I will be recommending this internship to my finance-oriented friends - both the ones that have stellar credentials but less in the way of interesting talking points, as well as the ones that have sparse resumes and need to demonstrate their passion for finance.

— Tim H. (content intern, fall 2012)

I'm only about halfway into the internship, but it should be said that the tangible benefits definitely outweigh the amount of work you do. First off, Andy really wants to help you out: I initially began as a forum discussion starter, and was luckily given the chance to be a weekly contributing author-- nice addition to my (previous lacking) resume. Second, not only am I exposed to finance and business knowledge exponentially more than before, but I've become a much better writer and have created more opportunities for myself; I've already gotten another internship off this, as well as an interview for another one in the spring. Employers love the name, think it's wonderful that you're tech savvy, and can trust that you know a good amount about business. Additionally, you get the WSO guides-- which were surprisingly jam-packed with useful information. These aren't your typical e-books that should really be 3-page articles... these are thick, no-BS bibles that will lead you closer to your dream job. Finally, the CEO and COO are really nice guys! You won't regret this decision.

1/22/2013 update: Would I be able to keep this position indefinitely? You would be shocked at how WSO has opened up doors for me like this one. Being that I'm going to grad school for finance soon, I'd love to keep contributing.

— Jake (writing intern, fall/winter 2012-13)

The WSO SEO internship provided an opportunity to gain a large amount of knowledge in selected fields. Doing in depth research about the most popular topics on WSO gave me a chance to get in contact with the experts in those areas. Seeing the successful results of cross promotion was a satisfying reward.

— Leon (SEO intern, spring/summer 2012)

Interning with WallStreetOasis was a great deal of fun. I had a great deal of autonomy and could do things as I saw fit, which meant it was pretty cool to execute on my own initiatives. Additionally, since I had a background in internet marketing, I got to see the behind-the-scenes view of how WSO operates. In general, the internship gave me more reason to lurk the forum and explore what else the site has to offer. Plus, nobody can deny the awesomeness of the WSO guides. The entire WSO team is comprised of great people, and I look forward to watching WSO grow even further.

— Pete H. (SEO intern, winter/spring 2012)

Having WSO on my resume has been very helpful. When people in the industry see that I'm a contributing author to the site, they always respond positively. The site is highly recognized particularly among junior to mid-level industry professionals, so it definitely helps you stand out among your peers. Having written for WSO, I have also greatly improved my writing abilities- quality writing is one of the unsung skills in business and there is no better way to improve upon it than by writing for WSO. This is something I highly recommend to anyone looking to build their resume, sharpen their writing, or just looking to have fun.

— Justin

The SEO internship Wall Street Oasis was the perfect freshman summer experience. The work you do forces you to be engaged with current financial events and news—which can be incredibly useful come interview season. The internship allowed me to do the reading I usually do, through NYT Dealbook, WSJ and BusinessWeek, while looking deeper into financial events and articles. This experience has helped me talk intelligently about the market in networking and super-day interviews.

— Alex (SEO intern)

I found the experience working as an SEO intern to be very valuable. This internship gave me the opportunity to get real world experience while working for a highly respectable online community. The tangible benefits are great (every time I showed my friends the free guides that I received, they would always be impressed at all the information found in them) and the fact that I was able to learn a lot was very rewarding. Overall, if you have a few hours of free time a week, I would highly recommend this internship.

— Albi (SEO intern, winter 2012)

Do not be skeptical of the modest nature of the internship. It is a phenomenal opportunity for anyone interested in finance, marketing, or for a view of the inner workings of Wall Street Oasis.

The amount of flexibility and responsibility placed on you can be at times challenging. However, the rewards you will gain are invaluable. For instance, the task of reaching out to reporters and journalists of various news organizations rapidly improve your cold-emailing skills. And the feeling of accomplishment when a contact replies or discovering later that they had posted an article you had referred to them is amazing. Plus, the resources of Wall Street Oasis, such as the guides, are given to you for free.

Those managing this internship really want you to succeed. It is up to you to take advantage of this unique opportunity.

— Tim (SEO intern, winter 2012)

So, I found out about the SEO / Link-building Internship from my alma mater, who was an avid member, and got involved at his advice. It turns out that someone else left shortly after I applied and prior to that, I never even knew what WSO was or that it existed! During my experience I was working two jobs and doing the internship by night so it was challenging at times as well the learning curve involved but it didn’t take me long to start thinking about how to improve their process and make substantial contributions. Since I graduated as a double major in Economics and Finance, I then seized upon the opportunity to become a Contributing Author as I was blogging myself on very similar subjects and since then I've improved my copywriting and personal blogging markedly. Even more so, this experience began to fuel my interest in marketing and gave me a base to further expand as a Marketing Intern at a law firm. Now, when I interview I mention my contributions to WSO and subsequently the law firm. I feel the two give me a boost when applying for SEO or Social Media Marketing positions and I’m hoping soon it will pay BIG dividends as I re-launch my career into Digital Marketing. Lastly, I must say that for being so physically far apart Andrew does a good job of keeping in contact with everybody, addressing questions, and open to the occasional phone call as well helping out any intern that goes the distance for WSO. My advice is, it's what you make of it!

— Gregory (SEO intern)

DON'T BE FOOLED - you might think the SEO internship is more suited for marketing. But this internship will truly benefit individuals who are interested in finance. Throughout this internship, I was immersed in weekly financial news and picked up knowledge along the way. For a lack of job experience, it serves as a great way to demonstrate genuine interest in the industry.

Additionally, I improved a very practical skill - cold emailing. During this internship, I wrote cold emails to writers and bloggers from large financial news sites like Bloomberg, Financial Times, etc. and more personal financial blogs. With success and failure, I now have a better understanding of how to write an effective cold email where the recipient is more likely to read it and respond to it. This will come in handy when searching for internships.

And on top of all this, you get access to the WSO guides!

I'm only about halfway into the internship, but it should be said that the tangible benefits ABSOLUTELY outweigh the work you do. Seriously, I've already gotten another internship off this, as well as another interview for one in future.

How much does it help if you already have ib/pe boutique internships and are at a non target? I'm interested to hear what employers think/ask you with the WSO internship listed on your resume and whether they get a sense that your one of "those" people obsessed and committed to wall street from the start.

Husky, it's just something else that shows interest and exposure to finance. It's inevitable that you'll pick up tons of finance knowledge without really trying... as an intern I'm digging through finance content for 10 extra hours a week. It also shows that you're tech-savvy, and the WSO guides are also super helpful. I've only reaped benefits to be honest, so I assume employers view it as an indicator of commitment to finance.

PRIVACY POLICY

The Company recognizes that you are concerned about privacy. We are committed to preserving your privacy and safeguarding your sensitive information. The following statement describes the general information-gathering and usage practices of our sites.

Our staff, contractors, Internet service providers and others involved in this site follow this policy or similarly strict policies regarding your Information.

Disclosure

The Company is committed to fully disclosing our policies regarding the collection, use, maintenance, disclosure and security of personal information obtained from users of our site. The term "personal information" includes a name, address, email address, or any other information which could be used to contact you directly or to identify you personally.

Use and Disclosure Limitations

The Company only uses personal information about its Web site users for specific purposes. We do not share user information with third parties except when we have told users about the disclosures, when we have prior consent, or when required by law.

Use Policy: When the Company gathers personal information from users, we ask for permission first. We also disclose, at the time of collection, how the information will be used by us. Personal information is used for activities such as auto-completion of commonly-used forms and helping us contact you when you solicit information from us.

Disclosure Policy: We do not normally disclose personal information to anyone outside of the Company unless we have previously informed users about the disclosures. However, some data may be used from time to time by outside contractors, including auditors or consultants, to assist us in carrying out necessary financial or operational activities. These uses will be consistent with this privacy policy and all contractors using this potential personal information must agree to safeguard it, to use it only for the authorized purpose, and to return it or destroy it upon completion of the activity.

The Company might be required to disclose personal information in response to a valid legal process such as a subpoena, search warrant or court order.

Although unlikely, it is possible that we may have to make certain disclosures to ensure the security of our Web site, to protect its integrity, or to take precautions against potential liability. In any of these situations, we will take any reasonable steps to limit the scope of the data disclosed.

Web Logs: The Company maintains standard Web logs that record basic information about visitors to our Web site. These logs contain: * The Internet domain from which you came to our Web site. * Your IP address. An IP address is a series of numbers which uniquely identifies your connection to the Internet. Although it is possible in some instances, certain types of IP addresses may be used by interested persons to identify users but we do not attempt to identify users in this way. * The type of browser (e.g., Internet Explorer or Netscape) and operating system (e.g., Windows 98) you use. * The date and time you visited the site, and the pages you saw.

We use Web log information to design our Web site, identify popular features, and in similar ways. We do not try to identify individuals from Web logs or to link Web logs to other user information. However, if someone tries to damage our Web site or use it in an unauthorized or illegal way, we may share Web log information with law enforcement agencies. The Company may provide aggregate information such as the number of users who visit particular pages of the site, or the number of people who link to certain external sites from our site, to other parties.

Changes to Privacy Policy

The Company's features and services will change over time and our information-gathering practices and policies may also change.

While our philosophy of protecting user information from inappropriate uses and disclosures will not change, this policy will be updated occasionally to include any change that materially affects the collection, maintenance, use, or disclosure of personal information.
