Applications that do not include all of the above information will not be considered.
Please e-mail your cover letter and resume as separate attachments, in either MS Word or PDF format, to intern@hrc.org.
We will contact you directly if there are any problems opening your attachments, if we have any further questions about your candidacy or if we would like to schedule an interview with you.
