FamilySearch Data Quality Paid Intern
As part of our internship program, we focus on three main areas:
Personal Development- We are interested in our interns' future goals and how we can help them achieve their goal.
Skill Development- We strive to develop our interns' skills that would help them not only achieve their future goals but also increase the skills required in the field of genealogy.
Internship Project- We assign an internship project to complete within our interns' time commitment that will focus on their goals, skills, and potential.
Responsibilities may vary by assignment depending on department and need. The Intern receives assignments from supervising staff. The Manager reviews the Intern's work occasionally. The supervisor reviews each assignment as it is completed. The Intern is expected to meet rigid and challenging deadlines, work in harmony with other people, take direction on each assignment, and give full attention to detail. Independence in working, tact, and diplomacy are crucial.
