Paige Rosenthal, PR Intern"I want to thank you so much for guiding me in the right direction and helping me have an amazing opportunity last summer. I whole heartedly believe that I would not have gotten my job with Shape this summer without my previous experience. The man who recommended me for the job at Shape also recommended a college student for the job as well. The college girl did not get the job, but I did. It must have been my previous internship and the letter of recommendation from Schneider Associates."

- Paige, public relations intern
