Careerin Online Career Fair
Positions available: 10 students, individually or in teams Careerin is organizing online career fairs to connect tech talents open for new jobs and tech companies that are hiring. We noticed that lots of companies laid off staff because of COVID19 but there are still companies that are hiring. Careerin is a new startup that's using videos to help candidates learn more about tech companies, their mission, culture, and people in the teams so they can find the companies that they aligned with. During the online career fair, companies will have founders or hiring managers that talk about what their companies are about in videos and they will have online meeting sessions with candidates that are interested in joining them. Candidates can create a self-intro video on our platform that can be accessed by the companies that they are interested in, so they can tell their stories in person in the video instead of being another resume in the pile. Students will help us in organizing and running our monthly Careerin Tech online event. Roles include: Event sessions host - Identify and recruit speakers to share career insights or other topics in their roles (HR/Marketing/Sales/Software Engineering etc), host these online sessions by introducing their speakers if it's a webinar or interviewer if it's a fireside chat interview Job fair organizer - Reach out to tech companies that are hiring Marketing + PR - Event promotion in our social media channels, other tech communities, and tech medias Sponsorship - Reach out to potential sponsors to secure sponsorship for our events (professional firms, tech companies, etc)
Digital Content Creation for Solutionally Speaking
Number of position available: 1 team of 2 persons There are two ways journalists improve society: 1) spotlight harmful challenges or 2) spotlight helpful initiatives. Unfortunately, our traditional journalism narrative focuses more on the first, and often miss how the same action can affect differently to different marginalized groups, particularly the stories of the thriving social innovation community trying to serve them. "Solutionally Speaking" wants to focus on solutions, based on "solution journalism." It tries to answer the dominant question of our age: is there a positive way for journalism that can truly serve society? If you are looking for an opportunity to use your content creation and marketing skills to support social innovation, this is for you. As a web content and marketing intern, you will have the opportunity to take this social innovation idea to bring them to life. You will work closely and collaboratively with the project lead to review, rewrite, and refresh the web contents for the website/ landing pages and corresponding social media presence. Itβs a results-only and agile work environment where you will be able to show your entrepreneurial spirit, do what you love, and feel empowered to influence change. To accomplish this, we expect the student(s) will: Do SEO analysis and create web content for the website and landing pagesWrite blog articles, email newsletters/sequences and other content pieces on assigned topicsAssist with social media to promote our organizationEvaluate recent successful user-generated campaigns, preferably in our sectorIdentify media outlets that are most beneficial to share our story Ultimately, you will be working on content creation for our organization, social media, and other collateral that we can use as go-to marketing tools. If you like the sound of our culture, and are ready to tackle this challenge with us, then we'd love to hear from you. A student or team (of 2) with excellent writing and marketing skills would be the ideal candidate for this project.
