Hi,
I included google.com as the link to my writing samples because I don’t have internet links to my writing samples but I can provide them if given an email address.
How can this be resolved?
This field is no longer compulsory in the form. You can skip it.
Can i be part of you without coming down to your office once in a while, as you have said? I work with someone presently so, there may not be chance to come.
Of course you can. Physical presence isn’t compulsory and as stated in the post, we connect via slack, an online workspace.
Sorry please the link for application is not going, is there maybe an email to send my resume to?

Good Afternoon Ms Martha. I have great interest in learning Graphics design, though I don’t have a sound experience in it. What I’d like to know however is if one can apply based on interest? I feel I can do better as a Content writer, but would love to know if the structure of your internship allows one to apply in an area with below average knowledge.
Your response will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in anticipation.
Hi Yahaya,
The role chosen during the application for the internship is not rigid.
You may apply to intern in Content but if you have interest in graphic, there’s no limitation. You can pitch into other areas.
