Position Description:
StarChefs.com is accepting applications for a Winter/Spring 2010 Social Media Intern! If you have your finger on the pulse of social media and want to learn even more, this is the position for you.
Interning with us will provide you substantive and challenging work experiences. You will have the opportunity to develop specific skills (i.e. research, writing, computer, presentation skills, culinary knowledge). A large part of this internship will focus on building and maintaining StarChefs.com's presence on Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Digg, and other social networking sites. Using these tools, you'll be working with sponsors, promoting StarChefs events and content, and partnering with professional organizations.
You will also be working on specific sponsor campaigns which includes creating online media campaigns, advertorials, surveys and contests and monthly reporting. We hope that by the end of your internship you will be better able to set realistic goals for projects, develop social media strategies, manage your time better, understand online advertising and have a formal portfolio of your work that you can show future employers as evidence of your work and accomplishments.
Because we are a small company (19 employees), you have the opportunity to really make an impact on the company and the service we provide. Internships are for 3-6 months. Internships can be eligible for college credit and you will receive letter of recommendation. Last year, StarChefs hired on 3 of its interns for full-time employment.
In order to benefit from an internship with us you will need to be a self-starter capable of doing largely unsupervised work from your own computer. Necessary computer skills include web searches, MS Office (Word, Excel, Outlook, Access), and Filemaker experience is a plus. Depending on the position you take you will need strong writing and research skills, strong interpersonal skills, an entrepreneurial spirit, and a drive for results.
