Internship applications are due by Monday February 11th.

If students apply but are not accepted, they can work with me one on one for one-month for free to better understand what they are interested in and how to career plan. This is optional and not a requirement. More information on this will be announced after applications are received.

Who can and should apply?

• Currently in high school
• Live in or near Charleston, SC
• Willing to work for 15-20 hours (negotiable if more needed) over a 3-week period starting Monday February 14
• Interested in career advice and learning about startups in education and career development

What students will get?

• Experience for their college application, resume, and LinkedIn profile. If they don’t have a resume or LinkedIn, I will help them set up
• A free copy of Design Your Life, a book based on a course at Stanford, and the opportunity to read with my guidance and support also for free for one-month.
• Discounted access to the startup once it is launched
• Cash payment of $12.50/hr but willing to negotiate depending on interest in other career planning services

Application requirements

• Answer the following:
  • Name
  • Email
  • Grade
  • High school
  • Favorite subject and teacher in school and why
  • Favorite activities outside of school
  • What do you want to study after high school, do in your career, and why? If unsure (which is 100% fine), explain what you need help with or how you would figure out.
• The 15-20-hours must be completed within three weeks when the internship starts. Students can work at their own pace and can contact me 24/7 with questions.

Internship 1

Help reorganize and update an online marketplace of alternative career resources

• Alternative career resources are businesses and startups that help people advance their career whether it’s for learning or improving a skill, creating a resume or LinkedIn profile, job or internship searching, interviewing, networking, personal branding, or career planning.
  • For background, this is the first version of the marketplace I made. This is the pitch behind why I made it.
• Categorize a list of additional resources I have gathered to include in the marketplace. Students will then enter the resources and categories into an excel spreadsheet that I will provide.
• Search for additional career resources to add that are not included.
