Hello. I'm trying to convince certain ppl at work that we need an intelligent, hard-working undergrad (jr/sr) intern for the fall semester to handle:
1. Networking Lab grunt work -- for example:
- Labeling stuff
- Mounting chassis in racks
- Inventory
- Documentation
2. Networking Lab fun/interesting work w/ Cisco, maybe Juniper, Foundry, etc, probably dealing w/ some unicast routing protocols
3. Tcl scripting
4. Etc.

Not sure what pay would be, but it would be competitive. Will it be hard to find interested ppl? Are most good candidates already set w/ plans for work or school for the fall? It's been years since I've dealt w/ looking for an undergrad internship, so I don't know what the intern job market is like and I don't remember how long before the job started I had gotten myself hired.

Thanks.

If you can pay over 16 per hour, you can probably find someone.... To get some of the brighter prospects, you would need some more advanced notice, and over 20 per hour.

Just my feeling of where the market is currently for these types of students.

Cisco pays anywhere from 16-22 per hour for interns/coops, so you would be competing for the same students... but if you allowed them to go to school and do intern work part time, I think you would find a great deal of students interested... Cisco generally frowns on that.

Thanks.

That's the range I was making at Cisco when I interned there years ago, but then again I obviously wasn't like the other interns.
