General Client Research Advocate

Wertheim CommunicationsCranford, NJ — Virtual
Wertheim Communications LLC is a privately owned new emerging media company (categorized under Electronic Communications) located in Central New Jersey. In a crowded marketplace of ideas Wertheim Communications strives to remain a pioneering spirit within the field of electronic publishing. Our organization is seeking to develop a new kind of consulting practice -- an in-house operation with the objective of providing consulting services to other consulting firms, and bringing new consultants into the field. Today, we live in a very complicated world dominated by very complex technologies; the kind which global trading partners and communications networks rely upon to keep the global economy running. Language differences, cultural differences, and conflicting regulatory environments add to this complexity. Newer, faster, and more powerful software tools are needed to help organizations the world over manage all of this complexity. The world today needs a new breed of consultant who can understand the many needs of profit and non-profit organizations that struggle to comply with many of the "new rules" which confront them in a world dominated by economic volatility and political uncertainty. This position involves choosing a project from a list. The project would involve researching a significant problem faced by a theoretical corporation or small government (i.e. unemployment resulting from implementation of trade agreements), and under the guidance of the director working to solve that problem with the aid of technology consultants/partners, and the very latest software and technology solutions. The goal of the intern should be to learn enough to become employable or self-employed as a valuable advocate for professional consultants and consulting firms.
