I just received my Geek.com Weekly Newsletter (which I highly recommend subscribing to, by the way), and tucked near the bottom was this little tidbit from my friend Joel:

Want to be a Geek Intern?

Geek.com is looking for a few driven individuals for our newly-launched summer internship program. If you are interested in technology and you want to write about it someplace aside from your Facebook wall, then this could be your chance.

The hours will be long, and the work thankless, but you’ll have access to some cool gear and as many press releases as you can handle. If you are in the NYC area, then there will be a few events as well. We need people who have an excellent understanding of current technology, strong writing skills, and at least a basic understanding of HTML and image editing.

If interested send us an email to joel at Geek dawt com with “Intern” somewhere in the title. Send along a resume, a link to your blog (if you have one), and a sample post that is up to 300 words. Candidates can be based wherever, but NYC would be ideal.

This would be a great summer opportunity for anyone who is considering a career in tech journalism, or someone who just wants a crack at a paid position writing for one of the oldest and most respected tech blogs on the internet. Hey, you never know where an unpaid intern position can lead!

Joel is a personal friend of mine, so I am sure that he will forgive me for listing a couple of hints that will give you an “in” with him as a writer: be opinionated yet fair, be concise, and be dependable!

Are you up to it? Send Joel an email!
