Personally, I am active on Linked In and a few Company African news sites, but the Facebooks, Twitters, InstaGrams, MySpaces and so on, I pay absolutely no attention to. Someone with a commercial sensibility, an interest in International Trade and proficient with Facebook, Twitter and Instagram would positively be a strong candidate, and most probably get the position. My Marketing Manager, Barb Harman, will work closely with the intern so as to ensure optimal results. Realizing, of course, that ‘social media’ creation can be accomplished from 2 virtually anywhere, I feel that a minimum of 1-2 days per week here in the office, working with Barb and/or myself, would add an immersive effect.
