HYPLife
Summer Digest 2023
WELCOME BACK!
Dear Readers,
Kalo Mina!
Summer is a time for rest and relaxation, reconnecting with nature and expanding one’s horizons through travel, reading and other leisurely pursuits. For those who have been practicing self-empowerment and mindfulness with our wellness coaches or in reading the passages of ‘A’ is for ‘Aristotle’ available to our VIP clients, it’s important to maintain your inner strength and resolutions, putting powerful theory into practice for a reliable, positive professional identity.
Our Monthly Pes Mou Empowerment Podcasts is in full swing and available for free on our YouTube Channel. Topics relate to career advancement, personal enrichment and related guidance in response to fan mail and special requests. If you’d like to suggest a topic, please email us at info@philo4thought.org.
Special Events for most major organizations will resume in the Fall. For now we invite everyone to Save the Dates October 10th (Capital Link Forum, NYC) and October 14th (Philo4Thought’s Empowerment Summit, NYC).
We are here for you! The team at Philo4Thought specializes in helping our clients identify, manage and achieve their personal and professional potential to flourish in work and in life.
Have a question or topic you’d like addressed in a future video or newsletter? Please send your feedback to our team using the chat box at the bottom of the screen or email us at info@philo4thought.org.
Sit back and enjoy this issue of #HYPLife!
Please share with friends, family and colleagues!
Wishing you all an amazing summer!

Standardized Criterion: All jobs and internships posted to our site must meet standardized federal and regional hiring criterion
Hiring an Unpaid Intern: Potential employers must meet specific administrative criterion to be eligible to hire a standard unpaid intern for the completion of 140-hours of work in exchange for 3 college credits. (Employers are responsible for submitting the standard followup documentation (timesheets and end-of-internship report) to the student’s department within one week of the student’s completion of the internship.)
Hiring a Paid Intern: Potential employers must verify that the intern will be paid at least the standard minimum wage for the State of New York. In cases where either the student or the employer is not based in New York, standard legal guidelines for minimum wage apply and should be followed. Proper I-9 and related tax/employment documentation must be completed prior to the start date.
Hiring a Young Professional Under 18: Philo4Thought does not typically work with students or professionals under the age of 18, however in the rare case that an intern is under 18 there is a standardized (required) contact form for parents and schools.
Philo4Thought Administrative Support: For a small fee, Philo4Thought vets potential employers, helps set up the introduction to qualifying students (age 18 or older) and ensures that preliminary documentation needed to secure the internship are completed. Email us at info@philo4thought.org to discuss your hiring needs and our qualifying process. (Please have your job/internship description and supporting documents ready when scheduling a meeting.)
