GROCIO



We Need an Intern

Time to start adding to the team. So, am kicking that off by adding a permanent part-time position of Unpaid Intern.

Plenty of things to do and never a dull day is what we have to offer (and a stocked fridge with RedBull, GreenTea, Root Beer and Starbucks). This is an unpaid internship (although, I will pay your parking… but not your parking tickets!). We’re a bootstrapped startup intent on getting big, fast. So, if you’re interested in building your resume with a stint at one of Tulsa’s newest (and I might add most interesting) startups… I’d like to have your resume. That can take the form of a traditional emailed resume (boring) or a video audition via something like YouTube (make sure you tag that with “GrocioIntern”) or whatever other video method you’re clever enough to come up with. No guarantees this leads to a full time gig. It could happen that way though with the right timing and right person. I’m in a hurry to fill this slot and am putting fliers in all the local colleges, dorms and laundromats. Also, am casting it wide on Twitter @grocio and @geraldbuckley. This won’t take long to fill. If you’re serious, you better hoof it!

Here’s what I’m specifically looking for: Someone who’s willing to put in some time at the office (<15 hours/week at The Collaboratorium, downtown Tulsa) performing research, data input, writing letters (by hand… so good penmanship matters), who’s willing to get familiar (or make us MORE familiar) with social media like Facebook, MySpace, etc., competitive intel gathering. HTML and/or CSS skills preferred. Mac proficiency preferred. Browser, IM and SMS proficiency REQUIRED.

One benefit you should be aware of… The Collaboratorium is going to fill up fast with Tulsa startups. It’s a fantastic environmenet to get to know LOTS of other business owenrs/operators and network. That, in and of itself, for the right person is gold.

    If I was in school I know I would jump at the chance, in fact after I graduated I did intern for a summer and I gained so much experience! But… I did get paid. But, considering getting involved in a start-up (I have been through two start-ups) you get to learn so much from so many people! It is a valuable experience – I know!

  2. Thanks Mike. I’m looking forward to giving someone a very real dose of startup life, experience and resume filler.

    Mr. Buckley, I have one question. When will the people in East Tennessee be able to utilize the website?

    • We’re working hard to accelerate our timeline in light of the national media coverage we just caught. Kristin, it’s hard to nail a timeline together because lauching in any given market relies on specific grocers to participate in our program.
