Who else wants to be an Intrade Virtual Intern?
First step, read the About Us page.
If you're one of our Virtual Interns, we will work actively together to agree a project or projects that you will contribute to and both of us will benefit from.
You'll work remotely on an agreed timetable that you will choose. We will communicate and collaborate via a very cool online workspace and Skype Video with all of our team members - no matter where they live or what time zone they're in.
Do good work and you will earn a return flight to Dublin and a little spending money to buy Guinness and other "essentials", plus up to a week in our vacation rental...
... with a full kitchen ...
... full bath ...
... private laundry...
How many interns will we take? We don't have a number. Instead, we have standards and a strong work ethic. We are looking for people who are willing to dig deep into their skills, talent and creativity.
We're looking for three kinds of interns but others are likely to join if the fit is excellent:
Graphic and Web Designers: look at Intrade.com and Intrade.net. Can improve it?
Business and Finance Guru's: Intrade has a great reputation but modest incomes. Help us make more money to invest back into our business.
Web Marketers: Help us increase the depth and breadth of Intrade on the web.
The Intrade Virtual Internship will be a great opportunity for some people because:
1. It's Relevant.
2. It's Satisfying.
3. It's Ambitious.
4. It's demanding - you will work with the senior management team every day you can.
How to Apply:
1. You must become a user of www.intrade.net and to prove your interest in prediction markets you must be an active user.
2. We will then select the top 10 users (as measured by our cool, transparent ranking system) of intrade.net with .edu addresses and contact them.
3. After a Skype Video chat or two it will be clear whether we want to work together. If we do it will happen.
Apply Now by mailing recruitment@intrade.com with “Intrade Virtual Intern” in the subject line.
We look forward to hearing from you.
