PR and Communication Internship, Consulate of Sweden in San Diego Fall 2013

The Consulate of Sweden in San Diego is a very active, honorary consulate located in one of the world's most important high-technology regions. We strive to promote Sweden, Swedish business and Swedish interests in the area. The Consulate will accept applications for one PR & Communication consular intern for the fall 2013 period ranging from late June 2013 to early January 2014 to work with staff and other interns.

It is crucial for the intern to be able to understand and communicate in advanced English. The intern should possess an outgoing attitude and be willing to initiate new projects. A general interest in international politics and public relations is preferred. The intern is required to work independently and show great power of initiative.

The PR & Communication intern should have a strong interest in public relations and the art of communicating a message to its receivers. Good networking skills are vital, as well as an ability to establish and maintain good relations with the local community. The PR & Communication intern will, among other things, update the Consulate’s website (www.sweden-sandiego.org), contribute to the Consulate’s newsletter, organize and promote local events; and create press releases. The intern will also take part in the work for consular affairs, including providing emergency services to Swedish citizens.

The applicant must be a Swedish citizen and preferably have completed at least three years of university studies, preferably with an emphasis on public relations. Knowledge in website development is a requirement. The internship is unpaid, but can be combined with the applicant’s university studies. It is also possible to combine the internship with the writing of a thesis. Please submit your application containing a resume and cover letter by e-mail before March 31. The application must be in English.
