Gawker Media (publisher of Jalopnik as well as Gawker, Wonkette, Gizmodo, Defamer, Fleshbot, Screenhead and Kotaku) is looking for a corporate intern. Could it be you? Of freaking course it could.
Listen here, candidate. You will rocket out of bed each day dying to spray WD-40 on the squeaky wheels of the machine, whilst learning the ancient art of blog publishing. You will be techno-savvy: able and willing to learn about software applications as necessary. At the very least, you will be totally web-savvy, able to bob and weave through cyberspace at light speed, with mental facility, dexterity, imagination and intuition. We expect this means a student who slugs Jolt, not Coors, and designs computer games at the subconscious level.
Sweat-shop duties will include web research for special projects, assisting with ecommerce operations, some number-crunching, and other random stuff that comes up that makes sense for an Intern to do.
(Note: this is NOT a writing or editorial internship: you will be working alongside the GM crops management team.)
A modest stipend - more than child labor rates in India, less than the Apprentice s salary, probably just enough to keep you in beer and cigarettes will be given according to the number of hours per week you can commit to on an ongoing basis.
If you are interested, please contact corpintern@gawker.com giving a brief description of yourself, your skills and why on earth you want us to exploit you. Please do NOT include a full resume or any attachments: emails with attachments will be 100% ignored, even if you are Tina Brown herself. (If you have to ask who Tina Brown is, keep moving).
