Internship Ratings- Interns Rate Back

Stephanie is onto something here. Many companies hire on interns w/o thinking through the assignments & reporting thereby wasting the intern’s time and energy. I had one such experience in 1996 with GE in Erie, PA. If companies are called out for this behavior, they may take their internships more seriously ultimately adding value to the students and themselves. Stephanie – tap into college recruiting offices and websites.

Chris,

As to getting people to be interested in the site, I can think of two ways. Stephanie could offer sites that are trying to build their traffic an automated content populating solution for their sidebars and supply something similar for the e-mail signatures of those students who post a rating.

(Disclosure: My consultancy supports these kind of services, so my suggestion is a bit self-serving. Grin.)

I think the site is a great idea and I hope that it catches on. Marketing to college students may be the most obvious choice at this point, but it’s probably going to be the easiest way to get in touch with the largest group of people who will use the site. And the other obvious choice, Facebook.
(Disclaimer: I’m also a little biased as an employee of #5. It’s a nice way to see that we are cultivating a good work environment. =D)

Thanks for the mention, Chris. We ran into Stephanie at one of the recent events in Boston.

And yes, traction is the single biggest challenge of sites like ours. Our goal is focused on quality information for our business users so we don’t need to see huge numbers of reviews and recommendations. With that said, we will certainly be looking for the well connected business people in each major metro to help us expand into those areas.

It's great that you are standing your ground and exposing McGraw-Hills hippocracy and shady tactics. I hope another major publisher picks up this book so that it will acheive widespread distribution and the acclaim http://www.geonlineservice.com it and you deserve.
