San Francisco Startup seeks International Interns! -- Tripping.com (Brussels, SFO)

"Are you addicted to Facebook? Do you tweet, digg and stumble on a regular basis? Are your friends eagerly awaiting your next Youtube video or blog post? We want to hire you!

Tripping is a social network for travelers with users in 140+ countries. We're looking for 10 smart, creative and energetic interns to sit on our international Board of Interns.

This is a real opportunity to join a FAST-GROWING, high-potential startup. Our founders were among the first employees at StubHub (acquired by eBay for $307 million) and they've gone on to help build startups in Silicon Valley and Europe. We work hard, play hard and travel as often as possible.

And we move fast, so send your CV ASAP if you'd like to join our team:

ABOUT TRIPPING

ABOUT THE BOARD
Inc Magazine just featured our Board of Interns. Read the article here - http://www.inc.com/magazine/20110501/building-a-board-of-young-advisers.html


JOB DESCRIPTION
Forget fetching coffee - this is a new kind of internship. You'll get to work on the stuff you like and we'll tailor projects around your interests. While most projects involve social media, our last Board hosted parties in major cities, created cool videos, designed web pages, wrote press releases and attended conferences.

Oh, and we believe in being good mentors. When you start, we'll discuss what you want to get out of the internship. Want to learn about branding? Great, we'll show you the ropes. Technology? You can sit in on our tech meetings. Marketing? Sweet, we'll let you run our facebook page for a day. We'll teach you a lot and hopefully you'll teach us a few things too.

REQUIRED SKILLS
- Experience with social media platforms
- Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal
- Good sense of humor, easy-going attitude and a high level of integrity
- Self-driven, with a good approach to working efficiently and effectively
- Highly organized, detail-oriented and able to set (and meet) deadlines

DESIRABLE SKILLS
- Addiction to social networking sites (Twitter, Facebook, etc)
- Creativity or experience with photography, videography or design
- Love of travel, especially backpacking or visiting remote destinations
- Fluency in another language is a plus (eg. Spanish, German, Chinese, etc)
- Sense of adventure: willing to take risks, either for the adrenaline or experience


LOCATION
You can live anywhere in the world and be a Board member. You'll also be first in line for jobs and full-time internships in our San Francisco and New York City offices. We'll take care of your visa paperwork.

GOOD KARMA
Did we mention that Tripping makes the world a better place? Yep -- we're actually building something that helps people across the globe.

COMPENSATION
In addition to getting stipends (and other perks) for being a Board member, this could easily become a paid, full-time role in our SF and NYC offices.

HOW TO APPLY
Please send your CV, a short cover letter and a link to your Tripping profile to the above email address. "
Take care
