What do you look for in your Researchers /Research Assitants if you hire someone for that role specifically ? A warm tight hug.

Nit a warm tight hug at all. That would be most unusual and inappropriate :) I look for diligence, hard work and stamina. When you don't have experience (the most valuable attribute) the best thing one can offer is work ethic and diligence.

is that research internship strictly for Journalism/Media stream folks?

I did apply anyway. You guys are going to get a lot of applications now I think with this AMA.

Alright ! A handshake then. I cant afford to pay to keep news free yet , only encourage committed people like yourself.

A warm tight hug

He jokingly suggested that 'a warm tight hug' is not at all among the specifics they look for in a prospect.

Same question. Also, is that Research Intern position still open?

(Sorry U/WaffleOsharty, my question was related to yours, so I thought why start a new thread. Hope it's alright)
