To increase the quality of a product, you have to increase the work that goes into it. Right? Well, it's not like this is my day job, or any of our jobs, so we can't exactly dramatically increase the time we put in. Thus, we're going to open the doors to our most loyal viewers to jump in.
A good majority of our audience consists of high school and college students. For those of you who fall into this category, I can guarantee that you will need to write your résumé at some point in time if you haven't already. Well, what better way to build a resume than doing something you enjoy?
An internship does not have to be paying. It just has to involve work and experience to gain. So, why wouldn't we be able to offer internships? If you're a writer, you can apply to be an intern blogger for Ultimate Boston. If you have a knack for finding interesting and intriguing news stories before everyone else, great -- we need the likes of people like you! Here's a brief rundown of the two intern options we plan to introduce.
Intern Writer - Okay, so you read our blog all the time and you have views you would like to express. Why not become a writer for Ultimate Boston? Now you can, very simply. Send us TWO samples of your work in the form of potential blog articles from recent occurrences in the sports world or anything else in the world that is intriguing and appropriate. You can send the articles to the email address at the top of our page. Please note that a key requirement of becoming a blogger for us is proficiency in spelling and grammar. If your spelling and/or grammar is poor, we will most likely decline your application until those skills are at a proficient level. As long as they are within reason, though, we can probably work with you. Humor is always a good quality, but please take notice of the fact that we don't condone vulgar or offensive language at Ultimate Boston. Undertones are fine, subtle humor is fine, witty humor is fine -- but no swearing, racial slurs, etc. We try to keep our potential audience as large as possible, so keeping everything appropriate is necessary. With your submission, please include your full name. The expected work load to keep your standing as an intern writer is a minimum of 2 QUALITY blog posts per week.
Intern Researcher - So maybe writing isn't your strong point. Do you have sources that allow you to find crazy videos, wacky news stories, intriguing sports news, or anything else that would be 5-star blog material faster than the rest of the internet buzz? Seems like you have what it takes to be an intern researcher, without a huge workload. Send us an email saying that you wish to be an intern researcher. Include your full name. In the email, send us your first blog-worthy, unique news story. You do not need to write anything about the story -- just show it to us, and we blog about it. Sounds easy, right? Well, you will need to maintain a workload of sending us 3 BLOG-WORTHY stories per week in order to keep your standing as an intern for UB. You can always send more (and you are encouraged to send more), but 3 is the bare minimum for being an intern researcher.
Sound good? I think it's a pretty easy résumé builder. We would be classified as a (very) small business, and working as a non-paying intern with us is certainly valid experience. If nothing else, you may just get more exposure. You never know who will be looking, see something they like, and inquire about your services. In fields like blogging, exposure is NEVER a bad thing.
So send us your application today. Not difficult at all! Just send an email to the address at the top of our page. You'll hear back from us shortly thereafter, and hopefully you'll be brought on as the newest Ultimate Boston intern! Once you have completed 3 weeks of intern work at the work rate we have established, you will be listed on our page as an official intern of the Ultimate Boston staff!
Well, what are you waiting for? Get involved today!
