If I can make a suggestion, please adjust the template for your employment landing page: https://www.greens-efa.eu/en/get-involved/work-with-us When I visited to promote it (on the fediverse), I visually mistook the yellow banner as the website footer - and then made the false conclusion that your promoted temporary-agent IT project-manager role was infact the internship position: https://www.greens-efa.eu/en/article/job/it-project-manager-it-developer This confusion was only rectified attempting to correct another Lisper posting the (correct) internship role (given that the application deadlines are different). These are oversights from me - but I suspect if both employment and internships were given the same formatting it may not have happened. FWIW, I consider 1500 EUR rather generous for a Brussels internship relative to many EU ones in the city, which pleases me no end. Precariat employment practices are a blight within EU associations, it shames us all that talent struggles to succeed compared to the spawn of the well heeled.
