  • Amazing, I will apply in Ogilvy One Vietnam more time :)
  • itjobs1
    nice work, its great to see a structured role for an intern, why wasnt these great options around when i was a marketing
    www.staffingpower.com
  • I'd nearly sent my cv before reading through the article, this is an awesome opportunity, Thank you!!!!
    Well I'm not base in HK but if there is something like this come up in Thailand, internship, I'd happily quit my day job :)

    good luck to whoever get this!!!!!!!! and I hate you!
  • Wendy Ma
    Hey Thomas, I'm really interested in this internship position. When is the deadline? Regardless of the date I think I'll send in my CV+CL today. However, why is a twitter account required for this job?
  • ednacz
    I'll be in China in this summer, actually arriving on a tourist visa in ten days- could I still apply and obtain the work visa later? Or are you looking for someone with papers already sorted?
  • Meritocracy - That's brilliant and it's something I firmly believe in. Will forward this on to a few friends who I think fit the bill. A great opportunity and am sure an experience like no other.
  • @litmanlive:

    This is the new meritocracy.

    The old paradigm is who you know. I am being totally open and transparent about this recruiting process. I am not looking to hire my schoolmate's children, but open to anyone who reads this blog.

    By reading this and having all the characteristics demanded, you show a command of social media understanding and execution. That is not "who you know" it is "what can you do".
  • What a fascinating job description and am already drafting a blog post.. The requirements and bonus points are of particular interest - could this be the sign of things to come where the old analogy of it's not what you know, it's who you know could really stand you in good stead - it would seem so?

    Will watch this space with interest and would be great for you to do a follow up post on the person you hired and a mini profile on them, why they fit the bill etc. Some great learnings can be had.
  • I've finished the cover letter, I'll wait tomorow b4 the submission as I want to proofread it 1st !
  • @Yardley: I do not discriminate against university graduates. In fact, some of my best friends have graduated from university! ;-)
  • Yardley Luk
    Hi there
    I almost fulfill all the requirements that you expected . And I was born in Hong Kong too.
    However,I have a question about the position.
    Can I apply this position even if I have already graduated in university?
  • Normally I prefer not to discriminate on the basis of geography, but in the case of this job I really do need someone who is here in Hong Kong. To do that, you do need to have the legal right to work in Hong Kong. In future I could easily envision working with a team that is not in Hong Kong, though face-to-face is extremely valuable at the beginning.
  • I definitely would have been interested after looking at the opportunities and skill set required. But I'm based in Europe. I meet most of your criteria but obviously the location has disqualified me already. All the best in your search
  • andrejmr
    Dear Thomas, interesting job and place too.But salary is not mentioned and since work permit in hk is requested must be considered just an local ad. Hello?
  • nice work, its great to see a structured role for an intern, why wasnt these great options around when i was a marketing student?
