Looking for: A smart intern, who is interested in learning brand and business strategy for an upcoming tech startup. Remote, Part time/Full Time

The organization & the internship:

The world around us has changed rapidly in the last few years especially the last one year. In a world where we are lonelier than ever, more divided than ever we want to use technology not to divide but to get people together, not to make us lonelier and more insecure but help connect with each other via empathy. And most importantly not to use apps which encourage addiction to the digital world but those that use technology as an enabler.

We are calling this project called ‘Candid Conversations’ & we will have the beta version of our project up by mid this year & go for fundraise by end of this year. Meanwhile, we have already started connected people via a simple platform https://year.candidconversations.us/ .

We are looking for interns in helping us build & grow this.

You will be directly working with me (the founder) & you can find more information about me here https://main.altstrategy.work/marketers .(You will also help in conducting some of these workshops)

Other main aspects of the internship:

• This is a completely remote company. So you can work from home.

• We can choose hours based on mutual convenience

• There are two kinds of Openings- Paid & Unpaid. A student can choose to apply to one or both.

Eligibility:

• Open to students across departments or years.

We are looking for interns who:

• Love writing, has always wanted to write a book. The writing has to be real, conversational & good command over grammar.

• Is self-driven & organized with the capacity to work independently based on guidance they get.

• You will also help me by doing research online & compile the research from online sources into a presentation or structured document. The kind of topics are cultural trends, marketing, consumer behaviour etc.

Would love it if:

• You are good with ideas, creative thinking

• Are good with digital tools & learning how to use apps.

  • Comfortable reaching out to people.

Benefits for the Interns :

Apart from the opportunity to build something especially a global tech project & the challenges which come with it. These are the specific benefits:

• All interns will be compensated for any expenses they incur -like phone & internet which is used for the purpose of work

• The interns who complete 3 months will of course get a certificate.

• You will get access to some marketing tools & learning resources including any workshops that I conduct for free e.g. https://main.altstrategy.work/marketers

• Our interns whether paid or unpaid will be our first preference when we employ people for full-time roles.

Difference between paid & unpaid interns:

• Stipend: While all the above is applicable to both categories of interns. The person who is selected as a paid intern will additional get a stipend between 4500–6500 INR, which can grow rapidly depending on their performance.

• Time Commitment: The paid interns are expected to give 1:30 to 3 hours daily & then 4–5 hours over one day in a weekend. (One day off).The unpaid interns can give between 1–2 hours daily 3–4 days a week. Time slots can be chosen on mutual convenience.

The reason for having two different kinds of interns is to give more talented students the opportunity & us the opportunity to work with talented people. And since we can offer stipend to very few interns on a paid basis ,they are two kinds of openings with the unpaid internship having lesser workload. There is always an opportunity to move to the other internship.
