CandidCareer.com Internship

Description: CandidCareer.com is a video based website to help young adults with career exploration. We interview working professionals to capture the work people do, their reasons for doing it, and the advice they have for the youth of America. The videos serve as a tool for young adults to get a feel for the careers that might be a good fit for their own personalities, interests, and needs.

Interning at Candid Career will give individuals valuable experience in their degree as well as skills of an Entrepreneur. CandidCareer.com is a new website in the marketplace of career help. We have a close-knit team of three (two founders and a developer). The opportunities to help grow this start up company are endless.

We are very flexible with work hours and work location. We are looking for part-time and/or full-time interns. The intern can determine their work location. They can stay local to school and/or any location desired. The intern will report directly to one of the co-founders of the website. We are willing to participate and complete paperwork required for the intern to receive school credits for interning with our company.

We will provide a video camera as well as any software required for editing. Interns will be reimbursed for any long distance travel required for interviewing.
