FerrariChat.com Internship Program?

Is this an admission?

College interns do porn today. It pays better!!!

 

My previous career was with a [behemoth] retailer in the midwest. I typically hired at least 1 or 2 IT interns for my area every summer. Their salaries were fairly close to what we would pay an entry-level programmer fresh out of college (but of course the interns only worked for 3 out of 12 months). A college kid making $10K over the summer - not bad I suppose. The key is to line up all their work/schedules up front, so they can hit the ground running. We were paying them while they learned, but we were also paying them to be as productive as possible. We involved them in a lot of extra-curricular activities, and made it a lot of fun for them in hopes they would come back full-time after graduation. I know for a fact that [my previous employer] is still running applications that some of my interns coded years ago.

Another suggestion would be to hire someone on a co-op program with the university. You can sometimes find really great people who are willing to work part-time through the school year while they take a minimum class load (certain rules apply). Good luck!

 

Try combing the strawberry farms in Camarillo, CA.

 

Oooo! Oooo!!!! Pick me! Pick me!!

Most college interns get $10/hr. Many are still unpaid. Others get up to $15/hr even.

Ones I have done have been unpaid and work at home on the computer, with an occasional meeting with the immediate boss at a restaurant for lunch.

 

I may be up for it...

 

I would think that $10-15 per hour is reasonable. Are we going to have a thread where we can make suggestions for the intern to do various tasks?

Fun stuff. I assume you are too busy for some trivial things that some users might want to see, but an intern can sometimes be very creative with their abilities. For example they can set up and run a small 'summer Ferrari games' section where they do a variation on some of the threads here:
Name that Ferrari from a partial picture
Statistical analysis of Ferrari owners...
Photoshop versions of users favorite photos (for a fee maybe)?
Put together a small tutorial of Ferrarichat features that gets sent to people when they sign up for Silver or Rosso
List users rankings for photos uploaded, etc....
I don't know exactly what you are hiring the intern for, but I always made the job more interesting for the interns by offering tasks that were a little out of the ordinary for regular employees. This site is obviously addictive, so maybe give the users a shot of originality that might break up the patterns here a little.
Just a thought...

I'll do it for $15 an hour and a company car(which would of course be a Ferrari).

 

Will this force F-Chat to become bilingual??

 

Si, esse. Ju gonna lub it mang.

How much typing in a bushel?

Ross the Intern.

 

I would defiantly be interested in applying for an inter position!! I might also be willing to get paid less that the competition!!

 

Cool. I am definitely interested in this. I spend enough time on this site anyways, might as well get payed for it.

 

Exactly my thoughts

 

Will there be a pre-employment spelling and grammar test to go along with the drug screening?

whoops
Thats what I get for eating and typing at the same time.

 

Uh-oh Microsoft let me down... But I will still work for less!!

 

Hey Rob,

Fellow Babson Student here. I think this is a great idea! I would love to speak to you about this opportunity. Since I already own several websites (25k+ members), the transition would be very quick and easy.

PM me if you are interested.

Thanks!

Steve

PS: Internships pay, from what I have seen, around $20 an hour and go from there. These are the internships that I have seen posted on Babson's E-recruiting site.

 

Great idea

I would perhaps apply time permitting, since the majority of my work is online, I'm sure I could be doing something productive in helping FChat grow and innovate opposed to spending hours on here just chatting. Keep me in the loop, let me know how and when to apply as I have a few good ideas for bring FChat to the next level of online communities.

Cheers.

 

If you decide to go through with it, let me know. I'm a Computational Media major at Georgia Tech and this would be excellent experience for me as I have been recruited to work for a web design/consulting firm in south Florida after graduation.

 

I'd work for F-Chat in a heart beat. I think it would be a blast!
