This weeks peer picks from Sophie Hattery ’16:
1 Jetzy Internship – Deadline Saturday, October 24th
2 Felix Media Sales Associate Job – Deadline Wednesday, October 29th
This week, I thought that I would choose an up and coming company, namely Jetzy. Jetzy is the first geo-location based, user-to-user social app designated to help connect travelers to travelers and locals in real time and to give free travel awards. The app’s mantra is that you will essentially travel and feel the gratification of feeling as though you are a local. Being a student that just came back from abroad, I know that this app has a LOT of potential to grow in the coming years. Not only will this app rock for those who are on a budget, but it could even help transcend those difficult language barriers! As a brand ambassador for Jetzy, you will be in charge of building and executing brand promotional strategies for different channels including outreach within universities, colleges, and corporations around the globe. You will also help advertise through social media channels, develop outreach and brand awareness strategies, use company and personal networks to connect with celebrities, sports, athletes, and other influential individuals, reach out to possible sponsors and investors, and learn to work in a fast paced environment dedicated to helping people further their interest in traveling! The best part of the internship? You can be from any major as long as your love for travel is at your core, hours are flexible, and interns can do a part time project remotely from their locations or alongside another full time internship you want to tie down (aka, full time and part time are both options!). You also will be able to work alongside the founders and corporate team directly, which will give you ample networking opportunity. If this sounds like your dream internship, apply on the Bridge by Saturday, October 24th!
As for my second peer pick, I chose another marketing position, but this time for a full-time, entry level media sales associate job at Felix. Felix is a company whose mission is to be the worlds leading marketplace to help homeowners find and hire the best service professionals for their home repair, maintenance and improvement needs. Felix has helped over 30 million people find a trusted home services professional and have been featured in publications such as Fast Company, Wired, The Today Show, the Wall Street Journal and the Huffington Post. If you were to be hired, you would be responsible for calling on and speaking with small business owners across the country, consulting on HomeAdvisors’ services and products. You will also drive new business acquisition, learn sales techniques and help create new sales strategies, share feedback and ideas with upper management directly, and develop excellent verbal, written, and presentation skills. Did I mention that this job is based in New York right in Times Square and offers free breakfast, lunch, and dinner as one of its many employee benefits? If this job sounds like the job for you, do not forget to apply on the Bridge by Wednesday, October 29th!
Apply on the Bridge for both opportunities.
