We’ve just announced that we’re looking for a high school or college student to be a part-time, paid intern and assist with a range of social media and web design projects. We are hoping to find someone with fairly strong HTML and CSS coding skills as well as a good sense of design who can put together some Websites. These particular projects are going to make heavy use of the Joomla! and WordPress open source software, so experience designing templates for those two would be a big plus for any applicant.

Send us a résumé and cover letter if you’re interested. Here’s the full listing:

We are looking for a talented and highly capable high school or college student to be a part-time, paid intern working on social media and website construction projects. These include creating and promoting blogs, e-commerce sites, online directories and other sites.

Necessary skills for social media projects include decent writing ability and comfort interacting with services like digg, del.icio.us, technorati, etc (and possibly their users). The greater a candidate’s familiarity with social media optimization and search engine optimization tools the better.

Necessary skills for Website design include proficiency in HTML and CSS, some graphic design capability and an understanding of basic Website maintenance. Qualified candidates should be able—for example—to manage a WordPress-based site (including accessing and updating it through FTP), create or effectively modify WordPress themes for that site and create basic graphics for that theme. An ideal candidate would have similar ability with Joomla.

Exceptional writing and researching skills are significant qualifications for this position and will also be considered.
