Be a Galavanting Intern

Marketing/Ad Sales Intern Needed

Galavanting is a startup and could use some unpaid skilled labor. You're needing some work experience with a really cool emerging company for your emerging resume. It's a win, win.

If you're very smart, easy-going but driven to work hard, web-savvy, and hopefully funny, we want you. We need you to commit to working from the rest of January '09 through the summer.

In return, you'll gain work experience. You'll learn various aspects of running an online media operation from the glamorous to the tedious. Plus, you'll be able to hang out (via the magic of the internet) with the gals behind Galavanting, and we'd like to think we're pretty fun to work with.

Because of the online nature of Galavanting, interns can be based anywhere in the US, as long as you have reliable broadband internet access at your fingertips. A major requirement is your consistent availability for a weekly staff meeting via Skype.

We're only looking for the most motivated individuals who can take an assignment (no matter how meanial or meaningful) and run with it. We like to give creative license, but we also need attention to detail and conscientious, kickass work. The ideal candidate will be able to take direction, but doesn't need a lot of hand-holding.

Job duties include:

* Assisting our marketing guru with administrative tasks and any assignments given.
* Seeking out and posting promotional links to Galavanting on relevant websites and blogs.
* Research and gather potential sponsors and advertisers.
* Research and gather relevant press and blogger contacts.
* Assist in writing and distributing press and blogger releases.
* Assist in social media outreach.
* Contacting potential advertisers as directed.
* Various other tasks as assigned.

This job is:

* Web-based
* Unpaid
* Sometimes tedious (because it's web-based)
* Also gonna be fun

We need you:

* 15-20 hours per week, consistently
* Flexible hours as long as the work is getting done and you can always be at the staff meeting via Skype.

If you're interested, peruse the site first, then fill out the internship application form below. If we're interested, you'll hear from us within about two weeks. If you haven't heard from us by then, feel free to drop us a line via email to follow-up. If you don't hear back from us after that, pretend we got hit by a bus or something to spare yourself the feelings of rejection and know that you are probably a wonderful person, just not the best fit for us.

Thanks for your interest!
