What are we looking for: We’re looking for someone eager to get involved in the community, with killer organizational skills, and a passion for the written word. Duties will include:
- tracking local events and listing in the Apartment613 events calendar
- attending events and covering them for the blog and/or the podcast
- managing the day-to-day editorial calendar of Apartment613 and reminding writers about deadlines
- attending weekly meetings to provide story ideas, contribute feedback on posts and take minutes
- engaging with Apartment613 readers via social media
When is it: We’re looking for someone to join our team from January 1 to April. The position is part time and work hours are very flexible depending on your schedule and what we have going on the blog that week. Typically, we would expect that you work around 8 to 10 hours a week on blog work, although that can vary depending on your school schedule.
Where will you work: Currently we do not have an office, so you must provide your own working space.
What we can offer you:
- a great chance to build your portfolio
- opportunities to test your skills in editing, radio production and photography
- a supportive environment where your interests and ideas are respected
- a chance to build connections and sources within the Ottawa community
- a monthly honorarium to thank you for your time
How to apply: Please send your CV and a short writing sample (doesn’t have to have been published) to us by email before November 4. We will be in touch shortly afterwards to set up a time to meet and discuss the internship.
Hope to meet you soon.
