Bringing on summer interns - Do you have a schedule?

by a searcher from Northwestern University - Kellogg School of Management

Hi there! 

I'm a self funded searching and am hiring two, second year MBA students to help me search this summer for a 10 week internship. 

I'm looking for feedback from the community utilizing interns? 

Does anyone have a summer schedule that they've built? I have a draft but looking to detail it out more. I'd like for the interns to take away some experience as well as help me continue to build my holding company, identify market opportunities and search for acquisitions.

I generally do intern start dates in the first week of each month on a rolling basis throughout the course of the year.

Chris, as an intern for a searcher, one of my roles was to validate business information from a list of businesses in certain industries, allowing the searcher to quickly go through the list to make calls/emails without needing to confirm the information. Saving him time. In addition to helping build financial projections. In return we had a weekly/biweekly hour meeting where he would share his knowledge and strategies with me which was invaluable and a great experience.
