Apliiq Internship
Looking for something cool to do? Want something sweet to put on your resume? Do you need to find a job to keep your mother at bay, but would rather chill at the beach? We may be able to help you out of a sticky situation, and cover for ya while you surf the tides. Front to your parents you've found a professional internship at a new media fashion company, Apliiq Inc. Leave the house bright and early in your best suit and tie, with your coffee piping hot, and your freshly shaven face, heck put gel in your hair. Drive away with intention. Your mama will be so proud. Of course, she won't know if you stop off in Malibu, change behind your Volvo into your wetsuit and hit the waves for a couple hours. Rinse the gel out of your sun-bleached dreads, soak up the sun, talk up the hotties, grab a burrito, and after youve played out your Cabo lifestyle fantasy, head downtown to the Apliiq workshop and help us spread the word about Apliiq.
We promise not to ruin your high. We won't bark down your back. There won't be grueling tasks and deadlines. We believe that in a friendly, relaxed, supportive environment, you will thrive, and that in turn, helps Apliiq grow! We have some ideas of things you can do to help us, but we know you've got skills too, and unlike your parents who scoff at the time you spend on facebook and blogs, we see real value in the things you probably do already. So we invite you to join Apliiq. Work when you want, wear what you want, drink anything you like- all we ask is for your true dedication, time, and good vibes.
Apliiq is a movement, a force, an experience, and we want you to share it, enjoy it, take part in it, make it your own, be so proud of Apliiq that you rep it to death. Were a close-knit team, and you can find a home and family within the walls of the Apliiq workshop. As part of the Apliiq family, your efforts will be appreciated, and everything you do at Apliiq will have significant impact. We see Apliiq as a quintessential example of "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts," and therefore every little thing you do to take Apliiq a step further is a huge leap of progress. We're here working all the time, and we know that if you get involved, you won't want to leave either. Belong to something worth supporting, and care about something you actually have the power to influence. If you want Apliiq, Apliiq wants you.
Unfortunately, our internships are unpaid. However, we believe that hard work always has a way of paying off in the end. You will receive experience in a start-up company, you're own custom Apliiq design to wear and rep, and get to hang with chill people who work and play very hard in an awesome building full of amazing creative people and companies.
In order for Apliiq to give you proper time and attention, we are limiting the number of interns to 2. Yup, you and one other. So wet that quill, spruce up your resume and let us know why we should pick you and not your neighbor. A more formal company would call this request a 'cover letter' but we'll accept any creative output showing us why you're committed to Apliiq and what ideas you have to improve Apliiq!
