BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE via COLLEGIATE PRESSWIRE)--Oct. 11, 2005--Experience, Inc. the leading provider of career services for students and alumni, today launched another Exclusive Experience, a unique opportunity for students to gain real-world experience that adds valuable skills to a resume.

This semester`s Exclusive Experience, dubbed ''From Reel to Resume'' invites students to create a 15-second commercial promoting themselves for the internship. The student/team who creates the best spot will be hired for a marketing internship which includes an all-expense paid trip to Boston to meet with some of the biggest names in advertising such as Hill Holiday, Arnold, Carat and Digitas, one-on-one sessions with marketing professionals and the opportunity to produce an actual commercial for Experience, Inc.

''You can poll recent grads and their advice is unequivocally the same: intern, intern, intern,'' said Jennifer Floren, founder and CEO of Experience, Inc. ''While there are great opportunities out there, getting hands-on experience, especially in marketing and advertising, can still be challenging. We created `From Reel to Resume` to bring students a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to obtain a valuable experience in a fun, and rewarding, way.''

Students can apply individually or form teams up to 4 people to produce a 15-second spot explaining why they should be chosen for this marketing internship. Commercials can use special effects, humor and creative imagery; submissions will be reviewed by Experience and narrowed down to 10 finalists. Students nationwide will then vote for their favorite spot. From Reel to Resume is open to all students in all majors.
