JOB OPENING: Junior Digital Marketing Assistant - Part Time
Junior digital marketing assistant - part time.
Job Description.
Attention punks and punkettes…
First - the list.
This is what we’re looking for - in order of requirements.
Tick more than 75% of these and you’ll earn yourself an interview.
Required:
- Currently studying a relevant subject (marketing, design, web)
- Available 3 x 1/2 days a week (flexible)
- Can make pretty things with Photoshop
- Know what HTML stands for (without Googling it)
- Know how to use CSS to make said HTML
- You are not a recruiter posing as a job hunter
Preferred:
- Socially capable (can answer phones)
- Like how marketing affects the general population
- Have a Twitter account (and use it)
- Facebook savvy (we will be checking your profile pic)
- Mad writing skillz a bonus
- Understand that there’s a place for tables on the web apart from on eBay
- Desire and determination to be awesome.
- Happy with $20 p/hour (the experience is priceless but we do have to offer at least minimum wage)
Second - the pitch.
So you’re a poor student.
We know what it’s like; living on two-minute noodles; holding down a menial job to survive; visiting your mum bi-weekly to get her to do your washing and hit her up for rent money.
All while dreaming that when you finish your course you’ll be magically snapped up into agency land and working on projects for rainbows and unicorns.
There’s a problem with this.
You need experience to get a job, but you need a job to get experience. It’s a vicious cycle.
Also, unicorns don’t actually exist. Sorry.
We’re here to help break that cycle.
Melon Media, or rather, me specifically, are looking for someone like you to fill the role of a part-time Junior Digital Marketing Assistant. Which basically means you have to do everything I tell you.
You’ll be working on real projects with real clients and real problems. Which means you’ll be gaining real experience - which will put you ahead of all the other slackers when you graduate.
First, you need to be smart (or clever - both are good) and a creative thinker.
“Sure”, you say. “I’m part of Gen Y, I’m freaking awesome! Didn’t you know?”
Well I feel I’m entitled to my false sense of entitlement - but that’s not going to pay for my addiction to energy drinks.
Second you need to be technically minded and can speak Bocce.
“Whoa hold up!” you exclaim. “Someone creative AND a coder? Those people don’t exist!”
To the contrary. They do. I’m one of them.
Realistically I’m looking for a mini-me. Who’s creative. And can code for web and email. And is not scared to do hard work. While working in a great office in the city. And be surrounded by awesome people who will help you learn and excel. Oh, it helps if you can write too…
So you want in?
Again, in caps, so you understand: NO RECRUITERS
Melon Media is an email marketing and web design and development company located in Martin Place, Sydney.
