TopGrading Solutions, a local company, is looking for an intern to start 
immediately. Interested students should send their resumes and email to 
the contact person at the bottom of this message.
TopGrading Solutions (www.topgradingsolutions.com 
<http://www.topgradingsolutions.com/> ) is an MRI Network affiliate, the 
world's largest management and professional search firm with over 1,100 
offices in 36 countries. Our office ranked in the top 25% of our 1,100 
global offices in 2007. Our office specializes in Supply Chain within 
Consumer Goods.
*Overview of the internship objectives: *
The intern will be heavily involved in internet research, entering 
information into our database, and posting information and/or video to 
certain websites. At that same time, they will gain valuable insight to 
Supply Chain and/or Recruiting as a profession.
*Primary duties and responsibilities: *
**Most of the duties and responsibilities of the intern will be based 
from our computer database. The student will assist the Office Manager 
with ongoing database maintenance tasks, helping to make our database 
efficient and profitable. He/she will be responsible for use of websites 
such as Linkedin (a professional networking site), Indeed and Monster to 
search for possible companies and candidates, and heavy use of search 
engines like Google, to research missing contact information. Also the 
intern will assist in posting information and videos to certain sites, 
and possibly have part in redesigning our website, based on the intern's 
knowledge of web design. As the intern becomes more comfortable with our 
business, and based upon their potential interest, the opportunity will 
exist to interact with supply chain professionals throughout the country.
*What will the student learn from this experience? *
The student will get a good understanding of both the Supply Chain and 
Consumer Goods industries. This position will help to better the 
student's organizational and research skills, and knowledge of Microsoft 
Applications. The intern will also get an in-depth look into the 
professional world. As we help supply chain professionals take their 
careers to the next level, the intern will learn the ins and outs of the 
job searching / interviewing process – giving them a much better 
understanding of exactly what employers are looking for. This internship 
can be a great stepping stone into their own career.
*Job Title: *
Intern/ Internet Researcher
*Compensation: *
Open to straight compensation or mix of compensation and credits.
*Academic preparation of the student required (graduate, senior, junior, 
courses taken, GPA, etc.): *
Junior or Senior with an ultimate interest in Supply Chain, Operations / 
Operations Management, or Sales would likely get the most out of an 
internship at TopGrading Solutions.
*Skills required: *
Student must be internet savvy, have good time management skills and be 
familiar with Microsoft applications including Word and Outlook. 
Experience designing web-pages and posting video to the internet is a plus.

*Start and end dates: *
We would like this position to be an ongoing process. Students may start 
at any time during the year. They may start at the beginning of a 
semester and stop at the end of the semester or possibly stay throughout 
the year and even during the summer. This internship offers potential
