ALTA is offering internships with our awesome social media team!

If you’re looking to be a part of a group of fun- and translation-loving peers, you’ve found your place. You’ll learn to manage the responsibility of bringing translation news and enthusiasm to the many members of ALTA, what makes social media in the translation world tick, and how to be even more awesome than you are now. Responsibilities will include managing, contributing to, and furthering the various social media platforms that ALTA implements every day to make this world a better, more translation-friendly place.

Here are our requirements:

• Ability to work remotely about 5 hours per week
• Native or near-native fluency in English
• Love of translation and familiarity with the world of literary translation (either as a translator, publisher, or consumer!)
• Familiarity with social media sites including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and WordPress or Medium
• Ability to work in a team

If you are interested, please send your resume and letter of interest to rachaeldaum@literarytranslators.org by January 16th. Please also direct any questions about the position to this email address. We are presently unable to offer pay for the internship, but college credit may be rewarded for your contributions, along with the gratitude and favorite cat videos of the people you’ll be working with.

We’re looking for longer commitments; if you can only work for a semester, that’s fine, but six months or longer is preferred.

We look forward to hearing from you!
