A Little More Info
We’re looking for an intern for the summer + fall semester with the potential to stay on through the spring semester (or more!). The internship requires about 5 hours of work per week. Hours are completely flexible, with the exception of a recurring bi-weekly meeting (we can work around your class schedule). Most communication is handled via Trello, email, and video chat. This is an unpaid internship, so we’re looking for people interested in building their portfolios/resumes by making an impact on small local brands. There are also opportunities (if interested) to get more involved with the brands, including participating in content creation, photography, or web-design.
How To Apply
Go to this form and:
- Fill out your contact information
- Upload a Cover Letter
- Upload your resume
- Pick your favorite recipe from Things I Made Today and Wisconsin From Scratch and compose three tweets for each promoting the recipe in each brand’s unique voice.
Applications will be accepted until May 19. Please send any questions to vicky@thingsimadetoday.com.
