Job Description
About the Internship
• Vericant accepts both Chinese and non-Chinese citizens as interns.
• Internships require a minimum commitment of two days per week and a minimum commitment of three months.
• Vericant will provide a stipend to interns that are able to commit 40 hours per week. Interns that work with us for less than 40 hours per week are welcome to apply, but these interns will not be provided with a stipend.
• Vericant does not assist with airfare, visa, housing, or other personal expenses.
• At the end of the internship, an official letter of recommendation can be provided based on performance, and we are happy to serve as references for your next professional steps. Our internship program is also our favorite way to recruit full-time hires, so let us know right away if you will be looking for a full-time position once your internship ends.
• Interns must be able to use both English and Chinese well enough to communicate both verbally and in writing with colleagues on a daily basis. More advanced English and Chinese language skills would be a plus.
• You’ll spend the first two weeks learning our systems: Depending on what department you are working with, this could focus on video editing, translation & subtitle management, how our interviews work, or the systems and tools that we use to communicate with our clients. After that, you’ll be given an area to be fully responsible for. You will work with a manager or coach to revise and improve the system or the tool that you are working with, and your ideas and your plans for improvement can affect everyone at the company.
• Vericant’s Beijing office generally hosts two to five interns each year. Past interns have researched Chinese-language sources, created reports on how to improve Vericant’s Human Resources department, designed video editing software, organized outreach activities, and assisted with enhancing customer relations.
• Successful non-Chinese interns have often spent time living or studying in mainland China, and successful Chinese interns have often spent time living or studying in North America.
