This page describes how After 5 Intern Program is made. It is here so that you can decide how much weight to give anything else on the site.
Published means published. We do not bump dates to look active, and an edit only changes the modified date when it changes what the article actually tells you to do.
A minority of outbound links are commercial. None of them have ever changed a sentence that was written before the link existed.
If a partner asks us to remove a criticism, the answer is no, and the request itself may end up mentioned in a future article.
A draft goes through four hands worth of work. The writer separates what they know from what they assume. The assumptions are either checked against something nameable or deleted. What is left gets written up. Then a second person reads it looking only for overconfidence, which is the failure this subject invites most.
We do not plan an editorial calendar. Articles appear when a question has come up often enough to be worth answering properly.
Bylines are real people with real archives attached. If you disagree with a piece, you can see what else the same person has written and judge accordingly.
Rachel Kim, Founder and career writer. Rachel spent five years as a campus recruiter before switching sides. She now writes about what she saw from the hiring seat and what most candidates never find out.
James Okafor, Workplace skills writer. James managed intern cohorts at two agencies before going independent. His writing focuses on the unwritten rules that experienced colleagues rarely explain.
Sophie Lander, Applications and early career writer. Sophie completed three internships before landing the role she stayed in. She writes about the application process with the clarity that comes from having done it wrong first.
