Junior Writer

About the Role

Intelligent Education is looking for a Junior Content Writer Intern to join our application assistance team. The role involves working closely with students applying to leading universities in India and abroad, helping translate their academic, professional, and extracurricular experiences into compelling application narratives. This is a writing-intensive role. You will learn to analyze student profiles, develop essay strategies, strengthen CVs, structure Letters of Recommendation, and identify the stories and experiences that can differentiate an application.

Key Responsibilities

• Analyse student profiles across academics, internships, projects, extracurriculars, leadership, and career goals to identify key strengths and application narratives.
• Assist in developing SOP/essay strategies, including brainstorming, story selection, narrative structure, and positioning.
• Draft, edit, and refine application essays while maintaining the student's authentic voice and ensuring alignment with university requirements.
• Assist in creating and strengthening CVs/resumes by translating experiences into concise, impact-oriented achievement statements.
• Support the development of Letters of Recommendation (LORs) by identifying relevant experiences, competencies, and evidence from a student's profile.
• Conduct research on universities, programs, application requirements, and industry/career trends to inform application strategy.
• Review application materials critically and provide constructive feedback on clarity, coherence, positioning, and overall narrative.
• Maintain high standards of grammar, structure, accuracy, and attention to detail across all student-facing documents.
• Collaborate with counsellors and senior application strategists to understand student requirements and execute application deliverables.

Qualifications

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Strong command of English grammar, vocabulary, and sentence construction.
• Ability to analyse information and identify the story or insight behind an experience, rather than simply summarising it.
• Strong research and critical-thinking skills.
• Interest in higher education, university admissions, career development, writing, or consulting.
• Ability to structure complex information clearly and communicate it effectively.
• Strong attention to detail and willingness to iterate based on feedback.
• Proactive, organised, and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment.
• Prior experience with writing, editing, research, university applications, or content creation is a plus.

What You Will Learn

• Application strategy for competitive universities globally.
• Essay/SOP strategy and narrative development.
• CV and profile positioning.
• LOR strategy and recommender positioning.
• Student profile analysis and extracurricular positioning.
• Research and application requirements across international universities.

This internship is particularly suited for candidates who enjoy writing but are equally interested in understanding people, analysing experiences, and developing strategic narratives.
