Summer Internships for Rhet/Comp students

[renea]

Hey everyone, I'm curious- for those of you currently in a graduate program, what do you do for summer work? In the past I've worked in my writing center or worked in food service. However, my new institution doesn't do comp classes over the summer or really offer summer work/funding.

I'd like to get an internship this summer for CV building, but it seems a lot of the programs I find are looking for undergrads not PhD students. I know it may seem early for applying to summer jobs, but a lot of internships seem to have fall/spring deadlines to apply.

So... what type of work do yall do over the summer? How were you able to translate your research/coursework into job skills?

 

*I should note that I'm not really interested in teaching FYW courses as an adjunct at a CC over the summer, although it's certainly an option if I can't find other work.
