Internship Opening: PR Representative

[GPS51]

Basically it seems to come down to whether someone is qualified and desires the chance to get some experience. It's not like anyone's arm is being twisted. Good luck to those with the qualifications that decide to go for it. Sounds like a blast and if I had more experience with social networking/ computer languages I'd totally go for it.

I think a lot of you may be over-thinking the requirements. HTML's an easy language - you'll need to know formatting attributes, tables, line breaks, etc. Check out W3Schools and learn it in half a day.

As for graphics, we're not looking for an artist. Be able to resize and watermark images and make very simple banners and other images. You'll have our artists at your disposal for more complicated tasks.

CMS and FTP... just google these and then I can help you use them.

Social Media Marketing... know the big ones - Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Digg. Know what kinds of audiences they appeal to and how their services can be used to market a product.

SEO... lots of good articles. It's all about how you mark up and publicize an article to try and get to the top of a search listing. Very basic knowledge needed.

If you insist so I may apply, although I'm a bit half minded about it, even if I do, I'm sure someone better will take it so im pretty safe I guess hehe

So you require CV and specs? :/ Perhaps I could get hold of them... I have a week to decide anyway

P.S, Thank you fror the link to W3Schools. That looks pretty damn good site

I think I'm still gonna apply (to hell with school and exams!) despite my age, I mean there's nothing to lose anyway. So why not give it a shot, in any case I'll be ready for it because when it comes to working in the industry, even on the borderline of it, it's music to my ears.

You are right I was over-thinking it. but I would potentially like to apply for an internship more art related(hoping one comes soon). That would be a foot in the door in the industry that I am going to school for.

[GPS51]

Well it sounds like you'd get to do simple artwork related things and perhaps when they see your artistic ability you can join the artists.

That's the idea. Hopefully my dwarf I'm working on with catch their eye.

Interesting, I knew some of the stuff was easy (like I mentioned my aimless wandering). I didn't realize though. Besides, we all know I can do basic banners!


Actually this is something I may seriously look into and put time into now. It's definitely something worth pursuing for me. I still have that issue with the English language though! Ork Ork Ork!

[Puppeteer]

Well good luck to all of those who apply! Remember, I cull the losers.

[Alex Walz]

Wow, that's pretty impressive, Aam. Perhaps you can design the new unit GUI.

Yeah, Litos, go ahead and apply if you want. I can't guarantee full employment after the internship if you're still be under 16, but I'll look into the law.
