Lori, Senior Legal Counsel

Every time I post photos of PETA demonstrations, I get emails from people asking about working here. So, I thought I’d post some general info in case others are wondering about it as well.

Our International Grassroots Campaigns department recently put together a cool little feature about what it’s like to work in that part of the organization, so if you’re a front lines kind of person, check that out here. But if being out on the street protesting isn’t your thing, don’t fret. Believe it or not, that’s not what most of us here at PETA do every day!

Kelly, Finance Manager

PETA is a large, multi-faceted organization, so we’ve got openings ranging from clerical jobs to investigators to writers and everything in between. It really is a great feeling to wake up every morning and go to work for an organization you believe in, where you are constantly surrounded by incredibly smart, talented, friendly, funny, and dedicated coworkers. One of my favorite things about this place is that no matter how serious the issue is that we’re working on, we still always try to have fun. Oh, and bagels with tofutti cream cheese on Tuesday mornings are pretty cool too.

So, if you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to work here or what qualifications we look for in prospective employees, give this page a peek, then send in your résumé.

And after you get hired, stop by my desk to say hi!

You might want to censor "smart"! >:)

I wish I could be a staff writer, but I'm quite young, so I don't have any professional publications in newspapers or anywhere, sadly.

Halo snipe,

Based on your posts I don't think you're much of an expert on 'smart'.


Kitty,

Just get started writing and submitting letters to papers, etc. Write an op-ed and send it in. You have the desire—that's the most important thing.

Kitty,
Listen to what mike says.
Some of our brightest writers
started very young.
If you have the desire to write, you are on your way.
Best of luck to you.....
Judith

kitty,
I agree with Mike and Judith.
And would like to add: I'm sure you would like to be a staff writer right now, but your youth is not really a hindrance. It is your exciting advantage. By starting to write now, you won't have to look back some day and say: "I wish I had..."

animalfriend,
Your posts are VERY much appreciated and VERY helpful!

I am an international PETA donor member from Malaysia, and i am interested to apply for intern.

But, too bad, US is too far from where i live and my mother is not agreeing me for the internship application.

She has Osteoporosis and she is worry that i won't care about my family anymore..

I had tried to convince her that it's not that i don't love my family anymore, i just want to gain more experience for working at overseas, but then she changes her mind and decided for not care about me anymore.

She said:"Just do what you like, but don't bother the family!"..

Sigh, sometimes i just wish that i am someone else.. =(
