Office organizer, researcher-writer-editor internship available (Upper Darby, Drexel Hill, Rt. 1 & 3)

Work includes organizing papers, developing and fine-tuning educational documents, articles, and plays. Ideal position for an ambitious person who wants to learn and work with a tenured professor, playwright, and editor.
REQUIREMENTS:
The ideal candidate is interested in education, theatre, and a wide range of historical subjects, and has a proven record of good writing and editing skills (from developing powerful dialogues to editing humorous pieces), enjoys keeping things organized, and is liked by his or her colleagues as an honest, flexible, and supportive team player. Ideal for a talented and ambitious young Philadelphia area writer, editor, personal assistant, and office organizer who wants to move forward. English major welcome (B.A. or M.A. ideal).
Highly organized and detail-oriented person must possess proven time management, communication, writing, organizational, and analytical skills. Solid experience with Windows, MS Office, including Excel and PowerPoint, required. Ability to multitask, often under deadline pressures, and willingness to learn and grow professionally, are essential.
