University Facilities is seeking a social media student worker who can assist with the development of content that promotes the ways our organization contributes to the campus.
The student’s primary responsibility would be to interview company personnel, gathering facts, quotes and interesting trivia on upcoming projects, events and collaborations we’re involved in. The information collected by the student is then used as a basis for social media postings on various platforms including Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, as well as our company blog. We’d expect the student employee to contribute to the creative process as well, creating content which upon final approval is published to the channel(s) listed above.
To succeed, a student would need to be comfortable interacting with University Facilities staff in a capacity not unlike a beat reporter. A lot of questions, a lot of note-taking, some photography and video recording to capture content. They would also need good writing skills that can communicate a story to a broad audience, sometimes in 280 characters, other times more. Familiarity with popular social media platforms is a must. Basic knowledge of the Adobe Creative Cloud Suite is expected, but extensive experience with Photoshop, Illustrator and Premiere are nice to haves.
Familiar Adobe Premiere? You could help produce informative videos like the one above.
The student would be allowed to work up to 20 hours per week, with a consistent schedule that can be adhered to being ideal. The hourly pay would range from $7.50 to $10.50, based on the level of education and experience.
