Intern to assist with the PR, Marketing, Management, and Event Planning for an Off-Broadway Play making its NY debut June 14th-July 3rd. This is an incredible opportunity for a driven, savvy, tireless person to get access to investors, broadcasters, donors, celebrities, and the documentary film world (We have film projects going simultaneously), and to work with creative up and coming directors and producers. This will not be an easy job, but the long term pay-off is there.
You MUST have the following skills. We are under an intense deadline and need self-starters who want to get ahead.
1. Excellent writing and communication skills. You will be asked to write grants, interface with donors, sponsors, VIPS, etc.
2. Design skills: Photoshop, Illustrator, and In-Design (or some version of a page layout program). You must be intermediate to advanced.
3. Knowledge of social networking strategies and the initiative and contacts to engage these tools independently.
4. HUSSLE, A thick skin, and an entrepreneurial spirit.
5. Organizational skills: be proficient in word, excel, google docs, vimeo, FTP servers etc...
6. Willingness to do advanced work AND all the crap beneath your superior talents with the SAME ENTHUSIASM.
Details:
Start Date: Yesterday--NOW!
End Date: July 5th--BUT if things go well and we are happy with each other, there will be a place for a contract position. We have major film, art, theater and other projects in the works
and there is room for a new team member--with profit sharing.
Pay: this is unpaid currently, but there will be a stipend, and a profit sharing percentage once the box office receipts are tallied. Plus food. Swag. and party invites.
How to Apply:
**Please don't bother if you don't have the qualities and skills listed above. You need to feel confident that you are comfortable interfacing on a professional level under significant stress
and a lack of hourly direction. You must be capable of being micromanaged initially and on some deliverables, but trusted entirely on others. A good candidate would research, ask others, and network a problem
before asking how to solve it. He/She will be capable of identifying priorities and keeping the producer organized and on top of priorities.
Application:
1. in email subject line write: "Intern" and three words that describe you--your best assets (2) and your worst quality. I'd write: Intern. Passionate. Creative. Overwhelmed. Make me want to read more.
2. Please sent a ONE PAGE COVER LETTER only. NO RESUME. Single space is fine. If you have a lot to say, edit down or use a smaller font--and then evaluate the point where the font size becomes a liability.
Cover letter should include:
a. Short introduction to you that highlights a few jobs and skills that set you apart. Don't say, "I'm organized". Say, "while managing a 30 person shoot for my school paper, I kept my team together by creating a priority template, a schedule, a feedback doc..."
b. Now tell me why you want the job, and why I should choose you--without saying, "you should choose me because...". Tell me something interesting about your goals, your interests, your plan for world take over, the iPhone app you want to develop etc...
c. Include a bulleted list of design skills/software knowledge and any other specific skills you think are relevant.
d. Include a bulleted list of the most sophisticated or complicated projects, events, confrontations you've managed. Then choose the most relevant and tell me about it.
e. Conclude by telling me your availability, your contact info, and your current favorite quotation.
Job will be Full Time but flexible (could be less some days more others 3/4 time etc...we'll work with the right person). You can also work from home, the coffeeshop, grandma's, the bar (if it helps), but you'll need to be available to come to meetings in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
I've probably left off some details (because I don't have you, the intern yet,) so feel free to ask questions but ONLY after making sure the info isn't here--and please be brief.
Go get your capes--super heros only need apply!
