About You
You are a positive person who enjoys working with people and loves to take initiative. You are comfortable and very interested in working with the internet, and are excited by the idea of learning more about websites, online advertising, technology and visual design. You are a motivated worker, who requires little supervision to get things done. If you’re often late or not so organized this probably isn’t the role for you. We like this place to run ship shape! That being said we’ve also been known to kick our heels up and have fun once in a while if all our ducks are in a row.
