Sun, 27 Nov 2011 21:11:06 -0500

When you describe an event in your life to friends or strangers, do they hang on your every word? Do you have a million apps installed on your phone? Can you use social media as a professional tool in addition to tagging your friend as a zombie? And finally, are you 21 or older?

BeerGivr.com, the best way to send a real beer to a friend through mobile technology, is seeking interns to support our communication and expansion efforts. We need team members that have an outgoing and enthusiastic personality to help us build the BeerGivr brand and expand its footprint in the Baltimore/Maryland/DC area. Grades can be a factor in the hiring decision but we are more interested in people with street smarts, who are not afraid to sell ice to Eskimos, and are willing to engage random people in a bar to talk up BeerGivr.

This is a brand new startup. Seriously, less than a couple months old but growing fast. Future team members will work with the BeerGivr team on anything and everything. Some tasks may revolve around:

Define and execute distinct strategies to increase our market footprint for each social media tool like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.

Is it more cost effective or strategic to pursue bar X instead of Y? Or, identifying market potential of Towson vs. DC when allocating future resources?

You will talk with Managers/Owners of restaurants and conduct meetings to sign them onto the BeerGivr network

Generate short videos of customers and owners using the BeerGivr product or providing honest feedback

BeerGivr is a fun product but we are not looking for a "paper pusher" or "get me a coffee" intern. Future team members will hit the ground running, make a difference, and own it. Can you handle that? Would you like a comp any called BeerGivr on your resume? You should apply and we should talk.

APPLY via UMBCworks TODAY or send your resume to Christine Routzahn at The Shriver Center (routzahn@umbc.edu). The position will pay a stipend of $750 for 120 hours of work over the course of the spring 2012 semester. Open to all majors.
