Ministry of Sound – Paid Internship
Ministry of Sound, the world’s largest independent music company, has announced the launch of what they believe will be the UK’s most sought after internship. The six-month internship is open to all UK residents over the age of 18, regardless of experience or education, as long as they can demonstrate a clear passion for the brand. MoS will pay the London Living wage, and include perks such as free DJ lessons and free entry to the superclub. Ministry of Sound will take on seven interns across its departments, from radio and events to digital and finance.
Hopefuls can apply via the Ministry of Sound careers website with a 140 character cover letter, to creatively demonstrate why they should be selected. Applicants are then invited to share this on social media channels using the hashtag #MinistryNeedsMe. The strongest applicants will then be invited to submit their CVs and the top 50 will be invited for a formal assessment and interview.
