Days Inn by Wyndham Seeks Applicants for Sun-ternship

PARSIPPANY, NJ—Spending a summer job indoors filling filing cabinets and soaking in artificial light might sound like a win to some, but Days Inn by Wyndham is flipping the script for thrill-seeking, soul-searching internship hunters.

Now through May 20, Days Inn is seeking a bright, aspiring photographer with a passion for the outdoors to travel across the country and capture the sun.

“Summer days are built for seizing every sun-lit moment doing something you love, and there’s no reason you shouldn’t get paid for it,” said Patrick Breen, SVP, brand operations for Days Inn. “We make it our job to brighten guests’ days at our hotels, and now we’re delivering an opportunity that puts the sunray reins in our travelers’ hands.
