Hiring a content writing intern in India — questions employers ask
What stipend should I offer a content writing intern in India?+

What should a content writing intern job description include?+
Six specific responsibilities, the non-negotiable skills, the tools and stack you actually use, eligible degrees, the duration, and the stipend. The stipend matters most: listings that state a number receive substantially more qualified applications than listings that say "as per industry standards". The template on this page has all of it filled in — edit the bracketed fields and post it.
How long should a content writing intern internship be?+
2–6 months. Shorter than that and the intern spends the whole term ramping up; a body of published work delivered on schedule, with a measurable drop in editing rounds by the end of the term. is what a full term should produce.
Which degrees should I accept for a content writing intern role?+
BA / MA (English, Journalism, Mass Comm); Any degree with a strong portfolio; BBA / B.Com; B.Tech with published writing. Filtering harder than this — on college tier or CGPA — removes more good candidates than weak ones in this role. Screen on the work sample instead.
