We need an intern (or two… or three)

interns-wanted

eduFire is looking to get some summer interns. Interns will get everyone coffee, do push ups, and… wait, not quite. Here’s really why you should be an intern here:

#1 – Work alongside some sharp people and learn a *ton*. Trust me on this one, you’ll probably receive an MBA’s worth of education in a single summer (and this is coming from someone who received an MBA from a Top 10 school).

#2 – A great name on your resume. We’re funded by a Sand Hill Road VC so you’ll have a good name to add to your resume. Can’t hurt in this economy!

#3 – Super convenient! We’re located in SOMA in SF, incredibly close to Cal-Train and a # of bus lines and walking distance from BART. A great commute for anyone in the Bay Area.

#4 – Free eduFire classes, tutoring sessions, etc. If you’re looking to learn a language, prep for an exam, etc. we’ll hook you up with vouchers to take free classes and tutoring sessions on our site. Not a bad perk!!

#5 – Meaningful work. If you’ve read our blog you know that we’re about trying to change education for the better. What could be a better use of your time between school years than trying to make the education system itself a little bit (or a lot!) better?

We’re mostly looking for people who are local (San Francisco) although we might hire an exceptional candidate who is remote. We’re looking for all sorts of backgrounds but the ideal for us would be people with experience in marketing (especially social media) and customer experience (especially usability). If you feel you might fit the bill shoot an email and a resume to koichi@edufire.com and title it “eduFire Summer Internship”.

  • If I weren't far way too old, located in Europe, and employed, I would have applied.
  • I think you should employ Marzia anyway - she is always a great advocate for good sense on the forums :) let her work remotely - that's what eduFire is all about after all ...
  • I already said on Jon's blog, if I would still study and would not have the money to take the plane, I would swim over there to get this internship ;).

    Really a great opportunity!

  • Actually, I suggested that eduFire should have created company info in LinkedIn, and a group for the addicted like me. It they don't do it soon I think I will have to create the group, I cannot wait! :D
