The Planner Project
What is it?
A website where Planners can upload work requests, and they will be completed by “interns”
All the requests are Planning related and give interns the ability to showcase their talents and creativity
The work is all transmitted online and receives feedback from the Planner
(not another resume hosting job site)
How it works:
The system would be based on a user account basis. There will be 2 different types of user accounts: Professional and intern, user will have to create an account (all information to be kept anonymous) in order to utilizes the site. Minimal information such as email and possibly position @ work (this would be used for organizational purposes) and the intern would have to provide an email and state which school they go to and their major.
Each professional is allotted 3 work requests a week (subject to demand) each with a time limit (TBD) all work requests can be listed as public or private by the professional, if listed as public all work orders will be compiled in a database that can be browsed by all users. These work requests will then be categorized by the position of the professional. In order for professionals to accrue more work requests the professional must rank the work of the intern, this will in tern become a posted % next to the professionals user name. This allows interns to choose whether or not they want to work for someone who doesn’t rank.
And it’s still working
The secondary part of this website would then be an intern & school ranking system.
Based on the information given by the intern and the feedback they receive there will be a leader board: interns will be ranked by highest stars, fastest response time, number of jobs completed for the week, and you will also be able to read any comments that have been posted about their work. On this page there will also be the opportunity for professional to send messages directly to the interns.
When this branches out to other schools we will then be able to rank the quality of the students who partake and associate this to their school.
Ex: AAU has the quickest response time on wishyouhadanintern.com
Spread the word
All Stats available on the sight will also be available to be able to be linked to all social media:
Also personal websites as a profile box.
incentives
Incentive students:
Receive access to advertising community; create a forum where students can prove their worth and receive a ranking and reviews that can be seen by potential employers. Students can choose whom to respond to and view how often that person reviews prior to doing the work.
Incentive for advertising community:
Anonymous. Research condensed down, access to correspondence with interns, point of reference for potential hires.
Challenges
Challenges:
Cost, website average price is $200 for 10 pages.
Professionals may not legally be able to farm out their work.
Last attempt under the GoFor name failed due to lack of actual website and attempt through email correspondence only
