We're looking for interns in Shanghai. Paid but not much (but more than enough to cover the cost of living in Shanghai)...

You would be working on Rails app and play with cool and fun things like cappuccino, redis and mongodb. Possibility of getting hired full time later on.

So, if you want to discover China and join a small growing startup (we do both consulting and our own products), send me a mail at guillaume -squiggly sign- agiletomato.com.

We're also interested in designers...

Topguest, an LBS startup soon to be based in San Francisco.

We're a small but well-backed company, about to enter a rapid growth phase. If you think you could help us with engineering, biz dev or design, we'd love to hear from you right now (ozan@topguest.com)

If you live somewhere other than SF, we could potentially pick you up on our migratory drive from NY. Or give you a couch to crash on when we get there.

Any internships available that allow for telecommuting? The internship job market has been pretty dismal down here in southern California (specifically the Inland Empire).

For an internship, you really want to be on-site. The point of an internship isn't to make less money for the same amount of work while you don't have lines on your resume. Well, maybe it is for you. But, thats not what it should be imho.

To me, an internship is about learning how to work with people (or: how a business works) and meeting awesome people (or: making connections). Figure out what it actually means to ship a product, getting real world experience, etc. You can't do much of that if the only contact you have with the company is a Skype session every few days. Thats closer to freelancing than interning.

That said, if I didn't lose your interest, Justin.tv is looking for interns[1]. You should totally apply, if you're in the SF area. I can tell you firsthand that you'll have a great time and learn a ton -- I did an internship with them over the past summer. Feel free to shoot me an email if you have any questions.

I wish I could work for justin.tv! But I live way too far even if they were interested in me. I live in Riverside county - it's not a tech hub by any means. Most internships I've been able to find so far are either in the SF area or the LA/Long Beach area. Hence why I'm looking for internships that allow me to work remotely - some experience is better than none. But it seems highly improbable that I'll find one...

It's other peoples job to decide if they're interested in you or not. Not yours. That goes for all situations, really. Not just this one.

Do companies near you have job openings* ? Send them an email asking if they'll consider an intern filling the spot instead.

*They probably do. Even if it's not advertised.
