The NILE looking for interns for expo

From Northern International Livestock Exhibition

BILLINGS — The Northern International Livestock Exposition is looking for college students who are willing and able to work all day and into the night, eat and sleep minimally, handle high pressure situations, work in the extreme weather conditions of October in Montana, and enjoy every minute of it.

NILE staff is looking for those college kids who are a little obsessed, a little quirky and have a lot of heart. They want those people who eat, breathe and sleep stock shows and rodeos, and those who can function on minimal sleep and maximum caffeine. College kids who have brains and brawn and who can handle high pressure critical thinking and not be afraid to pick up a pitch fork.

From the bright lights of the rodeo arena, to the heart pounding hooves of the horse events and finally to the smells of adhesives in the cattle barn, these people won’t want to miss out on the action. The internship is 10 days of early mornings and late nights. Some interns work the livestock show ring; checking in exhibitors, lining up steers, shuffling sheep and recording results. Other interns set up horse awards, buck bales and score keep the ranch rodeo. All interns laugh, goof around and get stuff done. The work details are to be determined, but Nile organizers guarantee they’ll be valuable.

The NILE is during the school months and it’s hard to get away, but it’s worth it for the experience, they said.

NILE is a mere four months away, but it’s not too soon to start thinking about it. Many of the NILE’s past interns are gainfully employed and attribute some of their success to the NILE internship experience. Prospective interns can apply today and set yourself up for success.

Nile organizers are only missing this year’s group of interns.
