Paid Internship At High-Growth Entrepreneurial Travel/Tech Company (Soho)

Feb. 21, 2012

New York, NY

Confidential

This is NOT another 'filing and faxing' internship.

This is a challenging, rewarding position geared towards high-achievers who want to learn new skills, work with a great team, and contribute in a major way to the success of a rapidly growing, fun business that is out to conquer the world.

We are a quickly growing entrepreneurial company in the travel, leisure, and entertainment fields, and we are seeking intelligent, energetic, ambitious interns.

The internship provides exposure to all facets of running a successful business, and has a primary focus on the following:

- 50% in operations and customer service (phone and email)

- 50% in market research, business analysis, technology and account management / sales support

All interns work closely with the company's founder, management, and other full-time and intern staff.

Previous interns have found this to be, by far, the most valuable job experience they have had, and several have gone on to take supervisory positions and/or full-time positions.

Current college students will work part-time (20 hours per week, including evening and weekend shifts) through the spring semester, and then full-time (40 hours per week, including evening and weekend shifts) through Labor Day, 2012. We occasionally offer one-semester internships, though these positions are offered even more selectively.

Our hours of operation are 8am to 10pm, 7 days a week, and a flexible schedule with the ability to work nights and weekends is a necessity. Please also note that although we would establish a set schedule throughout the spring semester, we understand that school comes first and are accustomed to working around class schedules. The internship pays $10 per hour.

Due to an extensive involvement on all levels of the business, interns must:

- Demonstrate academic excellence and achievement

- Possess excellent analytical skills and the ability to apply them to diverse challenges

- Be able to communicate professionally in writing, on the phone, and in person

- Want to join a hard-working, dedicated team of phenomenal professionals

- Demonstrate a desire to challenge themselves and take on significant responsibility

- Be able to work with all types of people and bring a sense of humor

- Possess strong computer skills (including Microsoft Word, Excel and proficiency at using the Internet for research)

The ideal candidate would also:

- Be a college or graduate student

- Be able to commute easily to lower Manhattan

- Be able to work fluently in English (bilingual a plus, not necessary)

- Possess a flexible schedule with the ability to work nights/weekends

This opportunity will most likely be a great fit for self-motivated, high-achieving college or graduate students.

Our office is located on Hudson Street, just south of Houston, and easily accessible by the 1, 6, A/C/E, B/D/F/V and R/W subway lines.

To apply, please send a cover letter and resume in the body of an email (no attachments).

Applications that include attachments will NOT be considered. Also, please use "Paid Internship" as the subject of your application email.
