This week, twitter-savvy aspiring PR professionals will have the opportunity to out-tweet each other as they via for an internship or experiential training spot at the Volcano PR offices. Spurred by the influx of internship requests ahead of the university holidays, the team at Volcano PR decided to up the ante and allow prospective junior applicants to apply using only 280 characters - or two tweets - to grab the team's attention.

The concept itself is quite simple; twitter users need to give their best definition of PR in 280 characters or less, tagging@VolcanoGroup. All submissions need to be received by 12pm on 13 June 2013, following which shortlisted candidates will be contacted via Twitter for validation. 

Candidates need to currently be studying towards a public relations, communications or related qualification through any recognised tertiary institution and must be available to complete a three week internship (or 100 hours) within the 2013 academic year. Work experience is non-remunerated, although a travel stipend will be granted to the applicant. Shortlisted candidates will need to submit a short CV, motivation as well as proof of current studies to qualify for the final decision, which is scheduled to take place by end of day on Friday 14th June 2013.

Volcano PR reserves the right to retract the internship offering should a suitable candidate not be found.
