The Intern Blog

Do you know where to find the best used bookstores in your city or which sushi spot makes the best spider roll? What about food trucks: got tips on the best chicken tikka masala on this side of the Pacific?

Then check out Pinchit – a new city-discovery site that ranks your favorite spots around town (like, the best sliders in the city) -- because they need a few tastemakers to join their team for an Editorial or Copywriting Internship.

Students interested in either of these positions should be excited about discovering the city of San Francisco, comfortable working independently, and have stellar grammar and editorial skills (bonus points if you're enthusiastic about social media and startups). Hopefully you have a good appetite and a trusty pair of walking shoes because the typical day for an intern might include checking out San Fran's hottest thrift stores, taste testing burritos, or writing and publishing articles for the web. 

Did we mention that this internship is all-access? Interns will have the opportunity to attend exclusive Pinchit events and the chance to get involved with an early-stage startup.

“Summer, summer, summer time… Time to sit back and unwind”
-DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince

For most college students, summer break is the most anticipated time of the year! Goodbye test and quizzes. Hello sunshine and music festivals. It’s also the time of year that most students begin their summer internships. This is why we’re dedicating our weekly Spotlights to summer internships. In addition to all of the "unwinding", we want to make sure that you're also interning! After all, the majority of full-time job offers for college students come from summer internships. 

We’re kicking off the season with Seattle-based brand firm, Urban Design Influence. They are looking for students with superb design and typography skills. This paid summer internship will offer students the opportunity to take on projects as their own - and the chance to be mentored by Urban Design Influence's award-winning staff. 

Worried about leaving your dog at home? Don’t worry! Bring him/her along. That’s just one of the perks of a summer internship there.

Interested applicants should apply with a cover letter, resume, portfolio link and reasons why a summer internship at Urban Design Influence is right for them.
