Intern, schmentern.

To start off, for those who know me personally, this is a legitimate internship position that I'm offering. Social Spaz is broken up into two branches--the business side and the internet personality. Both are very important to what Social Spaz has become and what it will continue to be.

Business side includes:
Working with several small businesses on a daily basis
Creating and maintaining several (countless) social media accounts
Constantly researching
Blogging for customers
Creating, overseeing and participating in event promos
Website design, editing and maintenance
The occasional mini-photoshoot (see Carpet Annie)
Plus the crop up of human networking (yes, in the outside world without a computer)

Internet Personality (The Spaz) includes:
Maning a ba-koodle of social media sites daily
Diving into several new sites
Again, lots of researching
Blogging
Website design, editing and maintenance
Troubleshooting
Networking with people all over the world (not even joking)

Now, there are more to both sides and even though The Spaz portion may not seem important it is. Social Spaz is in the middle of an expansion. That's why having an extra pair of hands and eyes is so important. The expansion, at the moment, is a secret--only few know what the future is going to bring to S.S.

However, for both sides to function without a hitch an intern is being sought out. I would like to have two to three people so we can make a team but it depends on the amount of applicants.

Here's some info:

Unpaid Internship (can live anywhere as long as you have a computer & internet)
What you will be expected to do

  • Research new trends in social media and marketing
  • Occasionally focus all energy on one client's social media (including Social Spaz)
  • Create personalized social networking strategies 
  • Work with a team of people, including the owner, in brainstorming sessions
  • The occasional blog (all credit will be given to the writer)
  • Network with people all over the world (your email will become your best friend)
  • Update/edit the website (You will be taught Wordpress if you don't know how)
  • Frequent popular social media sites and be crazy social
  • Help with the expansion of Social Spaz
  • Be awesome
Now, since this is an unpaid internship, there are still benefits to being an Social Spaz intern.
  • You will be given credit for everything you do
  • If you don't royally screw up or BETRAY Social Spaz, you will be given a wonderful letter of recommendation and be able to put down Social Spaz as a work reference
  • You will be able to put your marketing and networking skills to good use in the real world
  • You will make contacts with important people who will value your work
  • If you are unfamiliar with the technical aspects of the websites, Social Spaz will teach you the ropes so you will be able to add to your skill sets
  • When Social Spaz hires in the next year, you will be one of the first up for consideration 
Hours vary and you will only be asked to work from Monday-Thursday. Social Spaz understands you aren't being paid so we are very flexible with the schedule. 

If interested, email thesocialspaz@gmail.com with your resume and a short explanation of why you would like to be the new Social Spaz intern!
Thanks!
