We’re looking to expand our team a little over the next few months.
A bit about us and our history first: We’re a sincere company with a straightforward vision. We believe that there is an amazing amount to be learned by working in a “real-world” web production environment, alongside other like-minded teens. With this in mind, we began to gather people together in October of 2008. From there, the group quickly expanded to nine members, and we decided upon the name “9miles Media”. After a slow start, we found four solid, dedicated members who are in the group today. You can learn more about each of us individually by visiting the About Page.
We’re looking for someone who works well in a team, learns quickly, and is available for at least 5 hours/week to work with us. Ideally, we’d like a good knowledge of HTML and CSS, and experience with other programming languages would be valuable. However, we’ll also consider applicants without much prior knowledge (we find that learning is really enhanced by working with and being around skilled others), as long as they’re eager, quick to learn, and love technology as much as we do.
Our vision for 9miles Media is to allow teens to experience what the working world is like and gain first-hand knowledge of how the creative field functions. One element of us being a learning company is that we charge slightly submarket rates, on purpose. In this way, we are able to learn and gain experience while making a bit of money along the way.
Does this sound like something you would enjoy and benefit from?
