Work at Design Milk: We’re Looking for A Fall Intern

We need an intern! A Pintern, if you will :) We’re looking for someone who can help us out with social media and other general blog-related stuff. And we will pay you!

I’ve created a description of what I am looking for. Please read carefully before applying.

YOU:

  • Live in the US and are over the age of 18
  • Live and breathe modern design and have a similar style/aesthetic to most of what we post here on Design Milk
  • Know how to use Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Google+, LinkedIn, and Instagram. Hootsuite experience a huge plus
  • Are fast and responsive, but detail-oriented enough to get the job done not only quickly but correctly, too
  • Can follow directions but can also be a self-starter/take initiative
  • Are punctual, organized and professional
  • Know your way around Photoshop enough to get by, for example resizing photos and saving them to be web-friendly (Photoshop expert is a bonus!)
  • Have a good internet connection, some experience with blogging software or WYSIWYG (WordPress or HTML a plus)
  • Can offer 1-2 hours a day and maybe a few hours here and there on weekends

YOU GET:

  • Money! Well, this is an internship, so let’s focus more on the experience than the money…
  • Experience in online publishing and social media for a top design blog
  • Photo and link to your website(s) on our About page
  • A super fun and crazy awesome time and possible travel opportunities
  • Access to two veteran bloggers in the design world who will answer any and all of your questions
  • Tons of networking
  • The ability to work from anywhere at various times of the day
  • A recommendation from the Editor

Commitment: 40 hours/month max

Term: 6-month commitment to start but this position could extend longer if everyone is happy

Pay: Yes – TBD

How to Apply: I am accepting applications via email only. Please do not message me on Twitter or Facebook to apply. Please send the following to info [at] design-milk.com with subject “Design Milk Intern”:

  • Resume
