Commsmunity by CMS

Another #internship, starting immediately with WATATAWA Consulting, a management & comms consultancy. (This one's obviously hard to apply for unless you're already on LOA, so do feel free to share this around!) // the company & culture - WATATAWA's specialised in investor relations and financial comms, so this is an excellent opportunity to experience those. - Clients are very "corporate": "much more corporate than at the typical PR agency" i.e. not FMCG, consumer goods etc. so don't expect fun roadshows or after-dark parties. // the job Minimum 3 months; full-time highly preferred, but a part-time arrangement may be negotiable // deets See attached JD. // poc Send in your resume to info@we-watatawa.com; feel free to Telegram Vanessa (yes, another Vanessa) at 9627 4293 if you have questions.

There is a two-week internship level assignment starting immediately with Ruder Finn, a pretty reputed global firm. The candidate will work as part of the crisis/risk management team there that is currently supporting a client dealing with an ongoing situation. There is some flexibility in the working hours - can choose to work Monday to Friday, either 5 half days or 5 full days. The other option is 3 full days a week and 2 days off. Pay is the standard rate for interns in the industry. Interested candidates can reach out to Vanessa directly on her mobile @ 97239743

Hi everyone, CCS has been busy over the summer to bring you the very best events. Learn more at our booth D11 in T-Junction, right opposite The Coffee Club! See you tomorrow! 😊

Hi all - hope you've got a great summer / dream internship ahead of you! A quick update - I'm now part of the EXCO of SMU's newly-founded Corporate Communications Society, and am in talks with the rest of the team to bring better/more frequent stuff to this channel, as part of a broader effort to support Corp Comms majors in SMU (and ofc beyond). I'll continue to keep you posted as the changes come. Have a good break!

other #stuff that others have found interesting / useful: 1. the Muzli Chrome Extension (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/muzli-2-stay-inspired/glcipcfhmopcgidicgdociohdoicpdfc), which replaces your default tab (which is probably Momentum) with a bunch of design feeds. Lots of stuff on UI/UX in particular. 2. Enhancv (https://enhancv.com/) which craps out lovely (albeit watermarked) resume/CV templates. Even if you don't want the watermark, it might help as a source of inspiration for designing your own. As always - please let me know where you'd place this info on the particularly useful / completely worthless spectrum so I can bring you better stuff. thanks!

it's been a while since the last update - sorry about that. got an #internship you might have missed, as well as some resources to recommend that you might find useful, or at least interesting. let's get to it: // the job in case you're not an SMU student, or missed it on OnTrac: comms agency Ruder Finn (http://www.ruderfinn.com/) is looking for summer interns again. (Missed the ball on this one, but Director Brian Witte is coming down to SMU tomorrow (9 Mar, 7-9pm). Online registration via SMU's career portal is alr. closed, but I'll be trying to get any useful info from anyone who's attending the talk.) // deets Sounds fairly routine for PR. Copied verbatim from the recruiter: · Assist in writing and distributing pitch letters, news releases, backgrounders, fact sheets, bios, newsletters, reports and other communications material. · Create and maintain media lists. · Handle routine media inquiries. · Monitor media to report coverage that affects the client’s business. · Develop relationships with the media to convey the client’s message. · Proactively identify media opportunities. · Conduct research for existing clients and new business proposals. · Develop an understanding of the client’s business and handle basic research of the business and the industry to maintain a current knowledge base. · May coordinate specific events and promotions for the client under the guidance of a supervisor. · Assist in account administration duties such as billing and activity reports. // the poc Checking: POC might want me to collate CVs but I understand if you'd rather keep it between them and yourself, so I'll let you know again if she's okay with receiving CVs piecemeal. Feel free to PM with more qns and I'll pass them along.

hello! hope you're all well

Key corrections made - thanks to alum for flagging it out. Do lmk if you see anything that's awry/want to probe for more details!

(p.s. Sorry this is a little light on detail - i'm flying for exchange in t-4hrs so expect frequency to dip some over the next few months. that said, i'll still be in contact from time to time with whatever companies/profs to scrounge up any offers i can find, and i'll drop jobs / websites / articles that look interesting if i find any. let me know what you want to hear from this channel - see channel description to pm me as usual - and i'll tweak accordingly. cheers!!)

hey guys! sorry this is a bit late but spotted another #internship that went up yesterday evening: // the job JD: http://www.vrienspartners.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Job-description-for-Intern-Singapore.pdf Attached JD is from Vriens & Partners, an advisory firm / consultancy specialising in political risk & regulatory / government affairs, and highly regarded in the APAC region. See deets. Min. commitment = 6 weeks; loads of research + analysis involved - they've been hiring quite aggressively over the past few months so IMO expect things to move fast and responsibilities to shift quickly. // deets V&P is a major sponsor of http://publicaffairsasia.com/corporateaffairsforum/ - check the link to learn more (it's the 'go-to' c-suite event in the region for public affairs). // the poc See JD.

as usual just pm if you have more qns / general feedback etc. cheers

Updated with availability and a quick review.

Here's another #internship: // the job Comms agency Ryan Communication is looking for an intern able to commit for >= 3 months; open to part-time arrangements as well. Immediate availability preferred 💁 // deets See JD for a breakdown of responsibilities and expectations (including desired GPA!) SMU alum says you can expect Ryan Communication's office to be: - "nice and supportive", and - fast-moving, with high-pressure situations as the norm // the poc See JD.

^ Updated with official JD details - take a look if you're applying.

#internship (Bit of a long shot if you're currently in the middle of uni term, but if you don't have exams / are currently free, it's worth a shot.) // the job Interbrand - a brand consultancy (www.interbrand.com) - is looking for a full-time / 4-days-a-week intern (undergraduate) for at least 2 months, from Feb - May '17. Unfortunately, the commitment's non-negotiable, so please apply only if you're ready/able to commit to those terms. // deets Job scope to encompass (but not limited to): • Identify and analyse key branding and business issues and trends specific to client engagements • Coordinate new business tracking and carry out related administrative needs • Support the Strategy Team with brand audits and related research on current client engagements • Conduct research related to intellectual property and white paper citations • Synthesize analyses from research and discovery audits to form the basis for brand strategy presentations or opportunity workshops • Assist in the creation of credentials and project presentations, proposals, and all follow-up activities • Assist in project scheduling, creation of contact reports, and project co-ordination • Assist the Marketing Team in public relations and media activities • Participate in strategy, research, valuation, and naming projects as and when directed Expectations: • Collaborative work style • Excellent writing and speaking skills (English) • Excellent interpersonal skills • Keen interest in the practice of branding • Expected length of internship is 2-3 months • Curious and nice! A past intern also had a good experience with "nurturing and open" co-workers, so this seems like a good opportunity to get your feet wet, particularly if you lean towards the qualitative. // the poc Drop Nitin Das Rai an email at nitindas.rai@interbrand.com. (You can also pm me @kaitsi if you have questions.)
