Confidential

Why you want to work at YARD:

YARD is a boutique-scale company, with an entrepreneurial environment and relatively flat/fluid structure. As a result we all find ourselves "wearing many hats."

Our culture is important to us, and we're successfully nurturing a cohesive, committed, and supportive team. Being the right "fit" is just as important to us as having the right experience, so we encourage you to be true and open with your personality.

We are a rapidly growing agency and there is opportunity for growth if the applicant is a good fit.

Ideal Candidate:

A SUPERSTAR -- someone who is ready to give their all and show us what you got!

A recent or soon-to-be college or university graduate who is interested in exploring the world of branding and advertising through hands-on experience in a fast-paced agency environment.

Available for full-time work; however, part-time until summer/graduation is possible.

Some general office/administrative experience is preferred.

Committed and hard-working--a team player who wants to work in a fun, creative, and entrepreneurial environment and is eager to take on responsibility to learn as much as possible about the business and gain experience in the industry.

Organized and detail-oriented: perfectionists are welcome.

Able to multi-task many projects and "do what it takes" to see a task through to the end.
