A Positive Communications Specialist Wanted!
The world has changed drastically since the COVID-19 outbreak. So there has never been a
better time to invest in your future by learning new skills and improving the skills you already
have. A virtual internship is a new and exciting way to jumpstart your career.
We know that interns (we call them Teammates) aren’t burdens, coffee fetchers, or file cleaners;
our Teammates receive high-level, impactful projects to help us grow, while the Teammate
grows.
We want you to be part of something significant and know that what you do is essential and
appreciated. In addition, as a team set on helping people, we want your input and insight on
growing our organization. Join our supportive team and expand your skills and portfolio in a
relaxed, virtual environment.

LOCATION:
Working in a virtual/remote opportunity means you don’t have to deal with traffic or sit in a stuffy
office! Instead, you can work in a comfortable environment that provides a reliable and secure
internet connection so that you can attend meetings and video conferences.
VIDEO CONFERENCING:
As a virtual company, we use video conferencing application(s) as our primary form of
communication. You will be required to have a video conferencing program(s) on your laptop or
desktop so that you can fully participate in meetings and training sessions. Our team meetings,
one-on-one meetings, and training sessions often require team members to turn on their video
cameras, share their screens and interact with other team members. NOTE: Your cell phone
should not be your primary source of working on assignments or attending meetings.
TIMING:
Immediately! Our internships are 200 hours. Each Teammate is required to work 10 hours a
week. If you work the minimum hours (10 hours per week), completing your internship will take
20 weeks.
COMPENSATION:
This is an unpaid virtual internship, but the experience and connections you will get for your
professional portfolio and LinkedIn profile are priceless!
