This internship requires strong social skills and a spirit of teamwork, as well as independence and adaptability. The ideal intern is easy-going, hard-working, creative, and open to trying new things. They take initiative, proactively looking for tasks to do during slow times at the museum. They are friendly and able to connect with a variety of people but are also able to entertain themselves and enjoy quiet time in nature. They understand that while we want our interns to enjoy their time in Iceland, this program is not suited to anyone interested in partying or having a schedule of activities planned for them. The better the fit, the more enjoyable the internship for everyone involved. What part of this description resonates with you most and why?* This field is required.
