Thanks for your nice post Annika! It was a pleasure having you here, and you are definitely right that this internship would not have happened had you not gone out of the way to pitch yourself to us.
One of the reasons we were keen to have you was that you are an EA student group leader. This is probably relevant for other students seeking internships or jobs as well: Being an EA student leader often means something to recruiters at EA organizations. For instance, I know that one of the reasons I was accepted into the Charity Entrepreneurship Incubation Program was that I had been an EA student group leader myself.
Much love from all of us here in Eluru. You are always welcome with us :)
And to anyone else interested in interning with FWI: We are likely to do more of these internships in the future, although they will likely be of a similar format in that they will be both a) unfunded (at least for non-local people), and b) require you to both pitch yourself and get yourself to our site.
We’ll probably publish more on this on our careers page in the coming weeks, but if anyone’s interested now they should feel free to message me.
