| writerandeditor | Posted – 7/26/2005 3:40:47 PM | show profile I did it -- no conflict whatsoever. I did tell both of the companies when I started that I was doing another internship to make sure they had no problems with it, but no one seemed to care. |

| hchild | Posted – 7/26/2005 8:09:24 PM | show profile Yep I'm currently holding down two internships, but they have completely different target audiences. And I also work in two different departments. |
| penprincess | Posted – 7/26/2005 9:03:05 PM | show profile I supervise the interns at the mag where I work. As long as the publications aren't competitors, it shouldn't be a problem. But be upfront about this with your supervisor at both magazines -- organizing a schedule for multiple interns can be tricky, especially if they have other commitments. |

| LizW | Posted – 7/27/2005 8:15:34 AM | show profile One is a regional lifestyle magazine and the other is a national fashion magazine. So, I wouldn't consider them to be competitors. I'll make sure that I let my supervisors know about the other internship if I decide to do both of them. Thanks for responding everyone |
