1. The duration of the internship is of 8 weeks. Familiarity and experience with personal publishing platforms is required but not essential.
2. Chic Today is based entirely online and consequently, you will not be required to pack your bags and move to our London headquarters. All you will need is a PC and a reliable internet connection.
3. As this is a global project, there are no official working hours. The minimum submissions requisite is of
2 pitches per week, which are to be submitted to the Editorial Team each Thursday. Depending upon the topic of your articles, the word count limits are of either 150 or 350.
4. Following your two month-long experience, we will evaluate your contributions and consider having you join our permanent team of global contributors, should you express an interest in doing so.
5. The downside? This internship is unpaid and we do not provide school credits. The upside? Chic Today provides a fantastic platform, invaluable journalistic experience and global exposure. Theoretically, your work could be read in inner Mongolia--given that they have internet.
If you would like to be considered for the Chic Today Internship Programme, please select two of the following titles and submit editorials of 250-300 words each:
1. Less Is More
2. On The Rocks
3. Recipe for a Long Slow Comfortable Screw Against The Wall
The above titles are open-ended for a reason. You're allowed to have an opinion. In fact, we insist you have an opinion- as long as it's intelligent and inoffensive.
Two words of advice: spell check. Don't know how? Figure it out or crawl back under that rock.
If we nod off reading yet another rambling submission, you're automatically disqualified. We're not searching for human valium- think short, sweet, and snappy.
In other words, all work should be original, witty and informative. We don't entertain plagiarism but feel free to inject personality. Just don't overdose on the valium.
We want you to rock our socks. Enough said.
Please submit your entries and updated curriculum vitae for review to internship@chictoday.com.
This internship works on a rolling basis but the sooner you submit material, the higher your chances of joining our rapidly expanding team.
So are you Chic Today? We certainly hope so.
Thank you for your interest and good luck!
