If you feel your level of English needs improvement, please take care of that before applying. 

But of course since we are located in the Netherlands along with English, any knowledge of the Dutch language is an advantage and will also help you with your social life. If you have time till your internship begins, we recommend you to start a Dutch online course, and put real time and effort into the task. If you will do so diligently, you will speak Dutch when you finish your internship, during which you will be contributing, learning, achieving, and enjoying much more.

Internship Details:

Currently we are looking for a new intern to join us as soon as possible for a minimum of 3 months in Amsterdam.

The standard arrangement of the internship is unpaid, however sometimes it is possible that paid positions are available or that certain paid jobs within the company can be added next to your internship.  

We work very flexible ourselves and we can always negotiate how long the internship should be and how many hours per day or days per week suits you best. You can also work less days per week, which leaves you time to work on other projects or ideas you might have for your future, or have an income earning job on the side.

Due to Corona restrictions, it is possible to work remotely for this position. It's also possible to work from our office Ferdinand Huyckstraat 62, 1061 HW Amsterdam. You will get a key to the office and will work there in the hours we will set together as the most convenient and productive, in relation to your tasks and lifestyle.

You will have to be comfortable working independent, self-supportive, proactive and outgoing, as well as being able to manage your own time in view of the goals to be achieved. We will have team meetings at least once a week or two and accompany this with team activities every few weeks.

You need to be open-minded to the different aspects of the company. We require people to be able to jump in and help their colleagues in any task and be able to see their work as part of the whole and not to be only concentrated on their own part. At the same time, you set your own goals as well, and what you would like to learn and achieve during your time with us. We will match the skills you have with what needs to be done, as well as take in consideration what you like to do and what is easy for you. But for sure you will face some new challenges. We got to where we are by looking at the details, and making sure everything is just right. We require you to provide the same high standard of work.
