The World Famous is an ironically named cutting-edge pyrotechnical arts company with an international reputation for creating high quality, innovative ‘art’ using fireworks.
The successful applicant will assist the other paid Administrator in the day to day administration of the company, gaining an understanding of a sector that will make them fantastically unemployable - arts management.
This internship would best suit a student with broken dreams interested in eking out a living in Britain’s worst paid sector.
We desperately need someone with the following skills: -
• Excellent administration and organisational skills, with the ability to deal with a large workload and tight deadlines
- The ability to use initiative and work independently, don’t expect us to have an input
- The ability to use Word, Excel, Outlook, and ideally Photoshop as no one else here can
• A good sense of humor
In an ideal world, you will have a full, clean driving license. We’re based in an impossibly remote part of what we like to call ‘rural’ Kent
The internship will require a commitment of 5 days per week, but there is flexibility to suit course schedules, if you decide that the getting another degree sounds like a good idea in comparison
The position is unpaid, but there will be some contribution towards subsistence, they don’t call Kent is the orchard of Britain for nothing.

Application deadline: 1st March 2011.
A paid job at the end of your internship. Yeah right, like there’s not lots more mugs out there who’ll work for the ‘experience’.

Well-researched blog post about a recent KC HR team position, and why it’s not an internship.
King’s College London are currently recruiting “Recruitment Interns”. These internships in the university’s Human Resources Department last for 12 weeks, and are full time (5 days a week, 9am to 5pm). The internships are unpaid, with KCL only offering travel expenses. These are the exactly the same conditions as those for people on the workfare scheme.…the interns would be expected to fulfill pretty much all of the roles that would be expected of a paid administrative assistant in any human resources department in any higher education institution…whoever is to apply successfully for these positions must already have the skills necessary to work as an administrator in human resources.
