Internship description:
Exciting E-commerce internship offered at our webstore.
It is very difficult to tell you exactly what you will be doing before you arrive as our projects tend to be short. The kind of work you will be doing will most likely be as follows:
- Creating and optimising products for our sales channels e.g. eBay, Amazon, website. This includes working with descriptions, photos and categorisations
- Translation of product descriptions for our international channels e.g. Amazon.de, Amazon.com, ebay.fr etc
- Creation of content for the purposes of search engine optimisation
- Writing articles for our blog
- Helping with order fulfilment
Whilst we try and give interns a variety of work, we obviously cannot give everyone experience of everything during a short internship.
Example projects
- Launching Amazon Spain. This involved translating products into Spanish, categorising the products, setting up Amazon.es account and pricing products
- Writing blog posts on parenting issues and product reviews - no previous experience required!
- Understanding and improving eBay titles to increase findability and sales
- Improve website titles and meta descriptions to improve search engine performance
- Collating export information for international shipping
- Calculating shipping rates for international shipments
- Improving product imagery to increase website conversions
- Finalising the design of our mobile site
As a small company it is important that everyone gets involved with all jobs. We expect our interns to help out with order fulfilment i.e. helping with packing and warehouse management for about 1 day a week. We find that this helps them to get a fuller picture of how the company works and also familarises them with the products we sell. It also shows you how the complexities of the order system works and is managed.
