About the role

A local library is seeking a Local History Intern to assist with processing oral history interviews. This internship offers hands-on experience in a public library setting, requiring completion of high school and current college enrollment. Duties include transcribing interviews, proofreading, and editing audio files, with a flexible schedule of 5-10 hours per week. Interns will receive a stipend and a free t-shirt as benefits, with opportunities for course credit based on academic consultation.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
