PTV Internships

September 1st, 2010 by Peter

Hey everyone,

Our names are Jared, Lee, and Katy and we’re three senior New Media and MSA students. We are the students in charge of PTV. If you’re not aware, PTV is Purchase’s completely student-run television station, which airs 24/7 programming on Channel 69. Each day we broadcast live shows shot inside of our studio as well as student submissions from our video library.

We’re writing to you now because we want to have our fellow Film & Media Studies students intern with us. It’s a really fun internship and you’ll be receiving two upper-level credits for it. There’s three different types of internships- Live Show (you’ll get to learn the ins and outs of a television studio control room and all its equipment as you broadcast live shows to the entire campus!), Programming (you’ll create original commercials and bumpers and also shoot and edit footage of campus events to be aired on PTV!), and Public Relations (you’ll help promote PTV with our social networking sites and help create a PTV event at the Stood!).

Our general interest meeting will be THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 2nd at 10 PM in Campus Center South Room 2008.
If you have any questions, visit www.ptv69.com or e-mail us at purchasetv@gmail.com.
Thanks! We’re looking forward to making PTV kick ass this semester and we’re looking for awesome people to help us do that!

Website Design Opportunity

March 9th, 2010 by Jeanine Meyer

[Posted for Aaron Hawkins, a recent New Media Purchase graduate]

As a recent graduate of Purchase College, I figured I would take this great job opportunity here first, where I know there is a large amount of creative talent and people looking to gain real business-world experience.

My employer is a high-end jewelry designer based out of Manhattan. We are currently seeking a web designer/dev that is experienced, talented and capable of building an ecommerce website from the ground up. Familiarity with ecommerce platforms such as Magento or ZenCart would be a plus, or experience with writing similar backend modules. This task would require an extensive knowledge of html, PHP, Java and possibly flash. The timeline is limited to having a functional website capable of transacting sales within a month, with further front-end design and applications to follow soon after. This is not the job for an amateur or web design hobbyist, but rather someone who is career oriented. If you are capable of offering near-full-time employment and high-caliber work, please contact me at AaronHawkins1088@gmail.com with examples or a portfolio and your contact information. Knowledge of the jewelry business is not required, and maintenance of the site in the future would be minimal. The salary offered would be competitive and travel would not be necessary. Please feel free to contact me for any additional information about the project.

Furthermore, along with recreating our company’s website we are also working on redesigning our logo and image. If you feel you have adequate abilities in graphic design, dealing with text and logos, you may also contact me with examples of your work, along with a timeline and quote for your standard 2 unique concepts / 2 revisions package. An extremely proficient knowledge of Illustrator and CS+ is required, along with the ability to visually recreate ideas and concepts from a designer.
