Blogger/Content Curator Internship for a Retail company to get job in future

As with your other thread, look at the internship very carefully and see not just what the work entails but figure out what--and more importantly, who--you'll be learning from.

To be honest, I'm a bit skeevy of internships that are basically a job, especially for a decently-long term (six months) and unpaid. To me, it's exploitative. I'm also aware it's a reality to break into some industries, so really all this means is be extra, extra sure of who and what you're working with. You should get something out of the internship when you're done. Ask if there's a direct pathway into the company and if the company frequently promotes interns. Ask if you can use the work you do in a portfolio. Ask how closely you'll be able to work with the CEO for mentoring (CEOs are frequently busy, frequently not in the office, and not always the best mentors for entry-level).

Beyond even that, I'm skeevy about content curation and SEO, too. I'm not saying it's not a legit business. It is a changing business. There are some companies do quite interesting work with targeted content, have high-end clients, etc. Others are what we'd content mills, and all you'd be learning is how to write in Wordpress and add a couple tags to try and game the search engines. Not only does that model not have much of a future due to automation, IMO, it's also tedious work and you can learn the skills in 20 minutes on YouTube (Wordpress is dead easy to learn). Not saying it's not a valuable job if you can get it, but it's a job--you're applying for an unpaid internship. You should be getting work that carries some clout and will help you get other jobs in the future. Look at the company's client list. Look at their public-facing projects. They should exist, they should look polished, they should show a range of different work and customization, they should demonstrate good writing fundamentals. If in doubt, post links here and we may be able to help vet them.

From what I see in your post, honestly, it looks like a big job for which the company isn't offering a whole lot of compensation. But these things can be situational, and I'm only one person. Others may have other ideas or more experience in this area than I.

Good luck.

That seems like... maintaining someone's blog which promotes his or her book.

If you want a publishing internship, you need an actual publishing internship. Those can be found at publishing houses and the like. They tend to be competitive.

There are plenty of internships that offer no pay or token pay for long hours of real work, but they're real, obvious work with real concerns in fields that are hard to break into and in which interns can traditionally get a toe hold. Writing someone's fucking blog? Not it.

I was working off the idea that you wanted to learn to edit, not that you wanted any job you could do from home. There are lots of telemarketing/customer service gigs that have people working from home.
