Job description

If you're looking not only for solid work experience, but the opportunity to help make Malaysia a better place, then BFM 89.9 might be for you!

BFM interns don't make coffee or disappear into a copy room somewhere. They are fully integrated into Malaysia's only independent talk radio station from day one.

Internships are available in these programming belts – Morning Run, Enterprise, Bigger Picture, Evening Edition and Destination Programmes or Night Shift (Music, Movies, Special Interest), in addition to internships with the News Team, Video Team, Digital/SCM Marketing Team and BFM Events Team.

All applicants are encouraged to listen or watch a range of BFM programmes, podcasts and videos to familiarise themselves with what we do. Although the team is fun and work atmosphere casual, interns are expected to pull their weight. Desired intern attributes include, but aren't limited to: street smarts, a nose for good stories, persuasion skills, unbridled curiosity, a team spirit, a strong academic record, an analytical mind, punctuality and deadline orientation. Perks include frequent mamak visits with the team, opportunity to meet some of Malaysia's movers and shakers, non‑stop snacks and a potential to make a difference.

Please prepare a Cover Letter specifying the dates you would be available and areas of interest e.g. News, Bigger Picture, etc. Lastly, don’t forget to tell us how and what you can contribute to BFM during your stint here.
