Re: [Coworking] Hiring an Intern or Work for Trade

[Alex Hillman]

There's lots of ways to tackle this, but one thing I've seen consistently make 
a HUGE difference is that the person truly wants to be there. This person is 
gonna be a first contact for a lot of folks.

At the same time, it's especially tricky to set expectations because it's not 
generally not a full time job (and if it is, there's other things you gotta 
work on!) but the person needs to be around consistently, and be available.

It was about 18 months into Indy Hall before I brought somebody on part time to 
help, so kudos to you for starting sooner (one of my biggest mistakes was how 
long I waited!).

If it helps, I recorded a podcast episode about how I approached this back in 
the day, and a few examples of other people following the advice to rock out in 
various different scenarios:

PS I've had this convo with a bunch of folks recently on my email list...fun to 
see this topic becoming a trend!

[Coworking] Hiring an Intern or Work for Trade

[Ehmandah R.]

Hi Everyone. I'm a space owner.  I've been open for about 5 months. I need to 
get out and connect with the community. I'm running the space, solo and I'm 
considering hiring a part time intern or doing a work for trade program. This 
will be so helpful.  Any suggestions or advice is greatly appreciated. 

Thanks everyone.
