Hours, Location, & Pay

This internship begins in June. Applicants must be available for 12 weeks or longer during the summer semester, and should expect to work approximately 35 hours per week.

While COVID-19 conditions persist, we are working completely remotely. However, under normal conditions this is not a remote position. Should it become safe to return to the office, you'll be asked to work in our downtown Raleigh office.

This position will be paid hourly at a competitive rate commensurate with experience.

Go Fish Digital is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. We believe that when our team members can be their authentic selves at work, our community becomes more confident, creative, and productive.

Instructions for Applying

For consideration, please submit two things:

• Your resume
• A short cover letter - no more than one page. This is extremely important, as you will not be considered without it. (If the website you're using to apply doesn't allow you to attach a separate cover letter, combine it with your resume into a single document.)

Use your cover letter to tell us why you’re the best fit for this internship position. This should not be a stiff, boilerplate piece of writing - have fun with it! We'll read your cover letter first, so really let it showcase your personality and strengths. Be real, be yourself, and make us want to learn more about you. Seriously, we eliminate any applicant who doesn’t follow these cover letter instructions - it shows you can follow directions and have read all the way to the bottom. ☺
