It takes talent to find the right talents<\/b> for a position you want to fill<\/span>.<\/b> Do you have a position for which you need to hire interns? The first thing you need to do, obviously, is to sit with your team and discuss the game plan. What kind of interns are you looking for? How many are you looking to hire? What are the non-negotiable requirements or skills wanted? Are there any preferred majors? How much, if anything, are you willing to pay? Who will be supervising the interns, and who will the interns be reporting to? <\/span><\/p>\n

Once all these details are set, you\u2019re ready to create a job posting.<\/p>\n

There are many<\/span> websites that allow you to post jobs for free, such as our own<\/a>. An online job posting is a great way to reach many talents across different networks. Below are key points to remember when creating your internship job posting.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Job Titles<\/b> should be simple and to the point, but also specific and unique.<\/b><\/span><\/h5>\n

Imagine that a student is browsing through a job board. He\u2019s a marketing major, and so he narrows his search to \u201cmarketing\u201d internships. And guess what he sees? Tens of pages of job postings with the same exact title – \u201cMarketing Internship.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

If your job posting falls within that category, your company is just one grain in the sand; you are literally competing with hundreds of other companies hiring for the same position. If, however, you were to make your Job Title unique and maybe even witty (while still tagging \u201cMarketing Internship\u201d or checking \u201cMarketing\u201d as the category\/major), you would definitely still show up on the search but will now stand out from the rest<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pro Tip<\/span><\/span>: If you\u2019re looking for specific skills, be sure to include KEYWORDS in your Job Title! For example, if you\u2019re looking for an intern whose primary job will be to help grow your Pinterest account and following, why not make the Job Title \u201cPinterest Specialist\u201d or \u201cPinterest Guru\u201d? If you\u2019re looking for an intern who can create captivating visuals to assist your marketing and sales team, maybe you should include the keywords \u201cCreative,\u201d \u201cDesign,\u201d and \u201cPhotoshop.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

By clarifying the essential skills you\u2019re looking for in the Job Title, you\u2019re ruling out, right off the bat, the unqualified applicants who might have otherwise applied. This will save you (and the applicants) a lot of time. <\/span><\/p>\n

Job Description<\/b> should be short and sweet, accurate but compelling.<\/b><\/span><\/h5>\n

For the same reason explained above, you should include the industry your company is in (at the top, if possible), so that interested students know to keep reading, while uninterested students can move on to a posting better suited for them.<\/span><\/p>\n

In your Job Description (which should be concise; one paragraph is ideal<\/em>), you should do the following: <\/strong><\/p>\n
