Happy Easter holiday!
Hello lovely Her Campus Helsinki contributors and readers! This is just an announcement to let you know that we will be taking some time off from publishing for Easter holiday! This is a well-earned break for all of us but don’t worry, we’ll be back again on Friday next week! Happy Easter holiday everyone!
Want to become a contributor at Her Campus Helsinki?
In other words, we are hiring! So, do you have a knack for writing, great ideas for articles, something you want to share with other people? Are you also looking to show your experiences in your CV? Why not join us at Her Campus Helsinki!
What is Her Campus at Helsinki?
Her Campus Helsinki is an online magazine consisting of weekly published articles and a part of Her Campus media brand. Her Campus is the #1 online community for college women with chapters at 360+ colleges and universities around the world. Our target audience are the college students interested in topics such as studying, traveling, feminism, environment, food, culture, entertainment and more! Contributors do not have to identify as women, anyone is welcome! In our Helsinki chapter, we write and discuss a variety of topics, some of the most common being wellbeing, environment, culture and academics! We also touch upon topical issues, recipes, mindfulness and interesting histories.
Why join us?
You get to publish your work in an actual online magazine, with followers from around the world. You can get experience in publishing and writing in English and receive feedback on your articles and ideas. Whether you are looking for a chance to boost your skills in English or to put your native tongue in good use, this could be an excellent opportunity for you! You get to network with like-minded people and get some great supplements for your resume.
If you want to write but are hesitant to join a student magazine because you do not necessarily have a lot of time in your hands, Her Campus Helsinki could be a great alternative for you. You can write one to two short articles in a month or join as a guest contributor and write a couple of articles in a semester. If you become interested in posting on our social media channels, you can also become a Social Media Director who uploads up to three times a week.
Interested in becoming a CC?
We are also looking for volunteers to become Campus Correspondents for the next semester! You can be a former contributor to HC, or someone who is completely new to Her Campus – but don’t panic! A thorough induction will be provided before you start leading our small Helsinki chapter.
There are 1–2 Campus Correspondents at a time and CCs are advised to delegate and share their tasks. The CCs are responsible for running the publication schedule, which means communicating with the contributors, setting deadlines and scheduling upcoming articles. The CCs are responsible for meeting the weekly Her Campus requirements considering both the number of articles published and updates on social media — therefore, delegating these tasks with the contributors is key!
The CCs fill in a short recap at the end of each publishing week. There is always the chance to adapt, develop and improve the activities of the chapter according to your own preferences!
You gain
◦ “Behind the scenes” experience in the field of publishing
◦ Opportunities to connect with people — including professionals in the field
◦ Language and professional skills
◦ An excellent supplement for your resume
While enjoying
◦ Freedom and flexibility of work
◦ Possibilities to influence and make your own voice heard!

◦ Ability to react quickly to emails, messages etc.
◦ Time for organizational tasks (minimum 3 hours per week + writing short articles when needed)
◦ Reliability, organizational and communication skills
◦ Chance to commit at least for one full semester (e.g. Autumn 2022)
We DON’T require:
◦ Previous experience on publishing
◦ Knowledge of Finnish!
