Student Assistantship in the Department of English

Dear Students,

The Department of English would like to increase the department’s social media presence and engagement with students, prospective students, and the wider community. We think this can best be achieved by involving students themselves, so we are planning on hiring a student assistant in the winter term to be a social media editor who will work in conjunction with a member of the department to create and share social media content. In the interest of choosing a qualified candidate for a social media editor, a Survey Monkey survey has been created to gauge your interest and ability in terms of technology and social media: <https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/N2YMGDL>.

Your survey responses will be shared only with the Head of Department Team, and, once a candidate has been selected, your responses will be deleted. You can only take the survey once. This position is available only to current students who are studying English at the University of Klagenfurt. Should you have any questions, please contact Blake Shedd <blake [dot] shedd [at] aau [dot] at>.
