Fluentfuture Internships- Marketing, Consulting, IT projects

fluentfuture is a new online venture that brings elements of social networking to language tutoring. Members can learn a language for free by meeting members who speak other languages or pay rated teachers for individual lessons.

As of 1^st January 2010, we have 11,000 registered members and are aiming to reach 100,000 within the next few months.

Our aspiration is to be the pre-eminent language exchange platform with a primary focus on the ‘edge’ in soft content.

We are looking for interns who are interested in cross-disciplinary training, where we will create customised projects for our interns to ensure they get enriching, exciting & rewarding experiences to enhance their resumes.

Though non-financially rewarded currently, fluentfuture rewards our interns with full flexibility, superb empowerment & the promise of a thrilling ride with active participa tion.

Exceptional candidates who demonstrate commitment & track record might be offered equity in fluentfuture in the longer term- subject to negotiations & approval from the Management Committee.

Roles are online-based, and are project-dependent.

We look for commitment of 1-5 hours/week (depending on intern flexibility) with focus on project delivery.

All nationalities are welcome- as a language exchange platform, we treasure diversity as a strength.

To apply for participation in any of the projects, kindly email jobs@fluentfuture.com with your cover letter & resume.
