The Community Team is hiring! on Vimeo Staff Blog

by Andrea Allen
February 5th, 2010

Attention all Vimeans,
The Community team is looking for a motivated, outgoing Community Apprentice who has what it takes to manage the best online community with style and grace! Vimeo internships (we call them Apprenticeships) last six months and are available for folks who can commute to our New York City office everyday.

What does a Community Apprentice do?

· Reviews daily flagged videos by users

· Reviews videos that violate our Community Guidelines

· Brainstorms ideas for Weekend and Vimeo Projects

· Assists in testing new features across platforms

· Participates in Vimeo Original videos (shooting, editing, acting)

· Assists Directors and Managers on site research

· Assists managers with site email and management of Community Forums

· Gets coffee, dry cleaning, and anything else the Community Team may require on a daily basis

To apply, make a creative video and tell us why you'd be the best Community Apprentice in the History of Ever. Email a link to your video and a copy of your resume to internship@vimeo.com.

Can't wait to work with you!

  Perhaps a little far to commute from England, but hey the best things in life are worth waiting for. all be it a 7hour flight.
- WMP 2 years ago
  
  I say go for it, England isn't that far, New York is totally doable week by week. Chartering flights is the way forward...

  How about an intern for 4 months for the summer? I live in NYC but go to school in Buffalo...
- Andrea Allen 2 years ago
  
  Hi Amanda,
  Ideally, we'd like someone who could work with us for six months, as it takes about three months to fully train an apprentice. However, depending on our applications, we would be open to shorter internships.

  Are these internships paid? Forgive my asking! Oh god, I blew it.
- Daniel Hayek 2 years ago
  
  Internships are paid. It's really more about the experience though of acquiring skills and working with the team.
- amankerstudio 2 years ago
  
  paid...i want it too..:D
- Shawn Landersz 2 years ago

  Do you mind taking foreign intern ? (Or US Citizen only ?)
- dalas verdugo 2 years ago
  
  You need to be able to legally work in the U.S. I don't think we can sponsor any Visas for this or anything, but if you already have one, apply.

  Would plane tickets be included in the pay for daily commute to and from Singapore?
- Tom Dowser 2 years ago
  
  I could commute, but the gas prices would kill me coming from the L.A. area.
  
  Sounds cool though.

  I like your life style. Let's swap! I'll play with dolphins while sliding on rainbows in the tropics while you get to ride the luxurious A train to the office everyday!

  With the amount of interest, you would have to be some coffee maker to get this position. Haha
