Here's what recent graduates of the Associates Program said about their experience:
"The Associates Program was a good training ground because of the variety of assignments. It also gave me a chance to meet other people who, like me, were just starting out in their careers, and it made me feel like I was already a part of a group once I arrived at Random House."
"For those who are unsure of the area that they'd like to work in, the Associates Program is an invaluable experience that allows you to sample the industry."
"As an Associate, I had an unparalleled opportunity to learn from a variety of top editors, and it led me to a full-time position I never would have considered—or been considered for—otherwise. I've been at that position for more than a year now, and I couldn't be happier with the direction my career is taking."
