    Show You Can Sell and Create Content

    This internship is a blend of sales and marketing, so your application should prove you can do both. Hiring managers will look for evidence of closing deals and creating engaging content.

    1. Tailor your CV: Highlight any sales or client-facing experience, even if it's from a part-time job or campus project. Use numbers to show impact, like 'increased social media engagement by 20%'.

    2. Prepare a portfolio: If you have any content you've created—videos, blogs, social posts—bring samples. Show that you understand short-form video trends on TikTok and Instagram.

    3. Understand the diaspora market: Research what Kenyans abroad need in terms of investment and travel. Mention specific ideas in your cover letter.

    4. Show AI fluency: Since the role uses AI tools daily, mention any experience with AI for content creation or sales outreach. Even basic familiarity is a plus.

    5. Practice your pitch: Be ready to explain how you'd pitch Vunoh's services to a potential client. Focus on benefits, not just features.

    6. Emphasize teamwork: The role involves working with product and design teams. Give examples of successful collaboration in past projects.

    7. Be ready to learn: Show eagerness to follow SOPs and use tools like Kanban and Google Workspace. Highlight any experience with project management tools.

    8. Ask smart questions: In the interview, ask about the team's current marketing strategy or how they measure lead conversion. This shows genuine interest.
