Who would be a great candidate?
The internship involves writing academic content whose audience is often graduate students, researchers and industry experts. If you possess the following qualifications, you are a good fit for this programme and will emerge as a successful copywriter.
- Strong in English grammar: Without saying, an error-free copy is the topmost criterion for good writing. Understanding grammar rules and exceptions as well as usage is therefore important.
- A flair for reading: The more you read, the better you write. Should we say more?
- Eye for detail: Is the year correct? The name spelled correctly? Proper capitalization followed? The abbreviation used consistently? These are some of the potential problems you will look for beyond errors related to grammar and usage.
- Curiosity to learn: A lot of research is expected before you even write the first sentence of your assignment. Curiosity may have killed the cat, but will not let you down as a copywriter.
How are you selected?
Step One: Objective assessment. The assessment is on grammar and usage. You need to score at least 60% in the following objective assessment to be invited to the next round.
Writing assessment. You will write a short piece of around 500 words on a topic given to you. You will receive an email communication about the topic for writing.
Interview. You will be called for an online interview if the writing assessment meets our expectations.
