The Corporate Knights Internship Program lasts 3 months with our next cycle commencing late September 2011.
The internship will consist of a 20 hour per week commitment with flexible scheduling available.
Candidates with backgrounds in politics, business, engineering, environment, geography, development, and English are a good fit for Corporate Knights. A passion for sustainability is a must. Successful candidates will be self-motivated, flexible, and deadline- and detail-oriented.
Responsibilities of the intern include subscription management; fact-checking stories; data mining; proofreading copy; responding to mail, faxes, phone calls, and emails; assessing pitches; uploading articles to the Corporate Knights website; office administration; and, if the intern shows interest and ability, some writing.
In return, the intern will receive the chance to delve in-depth into Canadian and international sustainability issues. The intern will also be exposed to the editorial and production processes of a national magazine.
A complete application will consist of:
1. A CV outlining relevant experience
2. A 400-word review of the latest issue (we will email it to you on request )
3. A 100-word review of the website, http://www.corporateknights.ca
4. One writing sample, with preference given to those with writing experience comparable to Corporate Knights editorial.
The application deadline is Sept. 19, 2010. We thank all applicants who respond, but only those selected for an interview will be contacted. Strong applicants will be interviewed as applications are received; however a decision will be made on Sept. 23rd, 2011.
