TheSmartLocal is a Singapore hyper local review portal that receives over 500,000 unique visitors a month. We get more online readership than most newspapers and magazines in Singapore. We focus on things to do in Singapore and have a review database and magazine section. We have received government investment and investors have told us we're sitting on a gold mine and should be aiming to get millions more in investments.
We are a young start-up with a fun culture. No, you will not be chucked in a corner and left to do boring menial work like many companies who hire interns. You will be given hands-on experience, be personally mentored and trained to become an expert in this field.
If you have an interest in media / journalism we are offering you a once in a life time opportunity to pick up invaluable experience with us.
A testimonial from our intern @ayyydeee.
"My time at TheSmartLocal has been amazing so far. I've been personally mentored on my writing and had my articles published and widely read on TSL and Yahoo! My top article that I wrote just last week has over 70,000 views already!I have also been given the opportunity to interview quite a number of people already from the hottest local musicians to marketing directors of 200 million dollar companies.
The job scope is pretty cool because my research consists of me watching Youtube videos and reading viral websites which is just how new media works. And we even get to go for complimentary plays, movies and even overseas trips depending on who our clients are and what coverage is required of us.
It's certainly not a physically tiring job because we sit in the office mostly unless if we have interviews / events to cover) but it does get brain-draining sometimes. But I must say, you're going to get the most experience here.
If you're into journalism or just love writing, you're going to have the time of your life."
