TalentIQ is building tech that can help job seekers, talent managers connect better, and level the playing field to improve career outcomes for traditionally disadvantaged groups who are currently adversely impacted by how technology is used for recruiting and retention. Many are adversely impacted in career growth by race, socioeconomic and financial limiters, and English as a second language, as just a few areas. These include

• minority workers
• Women
• Disabled workers (physical and mental)
• Veterans
• Older adults

We’re looking for a student to help us source, curate, develop, and post the content implementing strategies to increase awareness and nurture engagement of the ThriveIQ platform to help solve jobseeker headaches.

This includes assisting with marketing the website and gofundme, and/or to make a kickstarter for greater levels of support, and help us add the fee-based service offerings (job seeker paid assistance with resume-writing for specific jobs, and group courses with live coaching for job seekers)

Based on our goals, we are looking for the student to work on the following:

• Content Calendar Curation: create and deploy timely social media content to drive maximum traffic to our site(s)
• Social Media Management: overseeing different channels that we own and keeping them up-to-date
• Content Development
• SEO
• Other marketing-related tasks and fund-raising/get sales online related tasks.
• Help improve pitch deck and other marketing materials related to the pitch deck and getting private or government funding
• We are also interested in finding nonprofit partners so we can get paid by nonprofits or universities to offer these services to thier constituents, particularly disadvantaged job seekers as we work on building and training the AI backend using data collected by helping real people.

Student will need to sign company internship agreement including NDA and IP release. If the company is able to generate sales and/or alternative grant or investor funding,

I provide a high level of supervision and mentorship via text and live calls. Interns often work with me during "live" work sessions which are like live office hours where I am available to share screens, give guidance, troubleshoot, review/etc.

I have 20+ years experience in business and marketing. You can read more about me if you look me up on LinkedIn or look at my CV at www.alicevoedwards.com

I also provide career mentoring and strategic career planning guidance and support. For example, I helped one student who had changed his major but really didn't know what to do with the new one, think through what his skills and interests were, how they would align with a job, review jobs and their criteria, and discuss the specific work he could do on my internship/project and how he could use that towards demonstrating what the jobs he was looking at trying to get hired for, would want to see.
