Do you want to get paid to use Instagram?

We thought that’d get your attention. The Office of Communications is creating a new student digital content team with four open spots. The student digital content team will use social media and video to push out fun content about Carthage.

Here are some qualities we’re looking for:

Creativity

Many of this team’s projects will come from brainstorming sessions. There will be assigned tasks, but if you have an awesome idea, chances are you’ll get to run with it.

Reliability

You could be the most creative person on the planet, but that doesn’t mean much if you can’t finish a project on time or you leave your fellow team members hanging.

Ability to Work Well in a Team

A lot of projects require working in tandem with other team members and working together to make something good even better during a revision process.

Positive Attitude

The good news: You’ll get to do tons of creative projects and most will turn out great. The bad news: Some won’t, even if you put in a lot of work. It’s important to be able to take constructive criticism, solve problems, and move on.

Up to date on various social media trends

Yes, this means memes.

Willingness to occasionally put in hours on nights and weekends

A lot of events happen at night and weekends and sometimes you’ll need to be there.

A Love of Carthage

You’ll be representing Carthage. If you love Carthage, that’ll show through your work.

If you’re interested in joining the team, send an email to tapplegarth@carthage.edu with:

  • An explanation of why you want to join the team
  • A resume
  • Three creative ideas that could be implemented right after you start
  • Samples of your work*

*If you don’t have any, feel free to go out and make some over break. These can be videos, potential Instagram/Snapchat stories, gifs, memes, or anything else you can think of that shows off your creativity.

We want to fill these positions as soon as possible. We’ll be interviewing candidates over J-Term if you’re on campus and during the first week of the spring semester if you’ll be abroad for J-Term.
