I developed a structure where my intern will have the ability to work on their own schedule and provide me with the research and resources I need in a timely fashion. She works remotely, and we talk on the phone three times a week to check in and communicate via email between appointments.<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>After two weeks, I am very pleased with the arrangement. The working relationship is strong and the level of commitment I get is exactly what I needed; someone to take on some of the legwork of researching new business, working with existing clients, and exploring new ways of doing business. <\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>I&#8217;ll keep you updated as the summer goes on as to how this working arrangement progresses.
