By Soila Kenya
Belgrade-headquartered MUNPlanet is accepting two international interns to work in their headquarters between 1st September and 1st November 2018.
One intern will occupy a position in the Marketing/PR department and the other will be on Social Media/Community management.
The selection process is undertaken in 4 phases:
- Submit the application form
- Complete a short challenge
- The best candidates are selected for the online internship and receive certificates upon its completion.
- The best online internship candidates are invited for a three-week paid internship at MUNPlanet’s Belgrade office.
Among many duties during their internship, they will be mostly thinking about growth and engagement strategies for MUNPlanet and other communities run by the organization. As a part of the team, they will be involved in researching the latest trends in marketing PR and social media management. They will work on creating digital marketing campaigns for the community. Finally, by keeping tabs on analytics, they will be tasked to suggest further improvements to the process.
“Our interns manage projects that deal with contemporary business challenges in today’s hi-tech marketing industry,” says Vlado Damjanovic, Head of Community at MUNPlanet.
To date, MUNPlanet has held similar opportunities since 2015. Pelumi Fadare of the 2017 cohort had this today about her experience, “The teamwork, love, helping hands at the office is amazing. This environment is so positive and caring. Now, I understand why I would want to spend a whole day at the office.”
MUNPlanet uses the power of the online space to ignite conversation between youths of different races, creeds, religions and status. Through their vast community consisting of thousands of MUNers from all around the planet, they strive to bring the youth together through such opportunities that give everyone the chance to not only give and share MUN tips and tricks, but also express their ideas with their peers across the globe.
