Proofread and self-edit for clarity, grammar, and adherence to brand style guidelines. Monitor performance (reads, time on page, shares) and suggest tweaks to boost engagement. What We’re Looking For Current Bachelor’s or Master’s student in English, Journalism, Communications, or a related discipline (recent graduates also welcome). Impeccable written English —grammar, style, tone, and narrative flow. Demonstrated passion for writing (campus newspaper, personal blog, published articles, etc.).
