Interns would work closely with a professional blogger to write 2-3 blog posts per week, conduct research, and assist with other projects on an as-needed basis.
The internship requirements are as follows:
- Current college student
- English, communications, and journalism majors preferred, but not required
- Passion for blogging and writing
- Good writer, team player, and technologically savvy
- Knowledge of WordPress, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Skype is a plus
- Minimum 3-month commitment (but longer if the student would like!)
- Spring Internship (March 5, 2012 - May 25, 2012)
- Summer Internship (June 4, 2012 - August 31, 2012)
- Academic credit is not required to apply
Some of the benefits include the following:
- Work remotely on student's own computer
- Time commitment is only 5-10 hours per week (unless the student desires to work more)
- We're flexible - students can write posts whenever they have time during the week
- Learn about the blogging culture and social media
- Create a portfolio of published work
To apply, students should send their cover letter, resume, and a writing sample to TheCollegeHelper@gmail.com (attn: Lauren Anderson). Also, the student must indicate which internship he/she is interested in (spring or summer).
All interns are expected to maintain a high-quality work ethic as they would with any other employer.
