Quintified

Quintify currently has a job posting for a marketing intern. I think this is an awesome opportunity — if my kids were a bit older I’d encourage them to pursue it. (I wish I had the time to pursue it myself!)

The first two resumes / cover letters we got reminded me of what I often see with such things — the cover letters and resumes are form letters, and mention nothing about the specific opportunity we’re offering, or in this case about Port City Deals (a major subject of our job posting.)

Wouldn’t it be so easy for them to say, “I checked out Port City Deals and love it! I can picture a site like this in every metropolitan area across the country, and I’m excited about having a role in bringing that about! While I haven’t done much with marketing a real product at this (young) point in my life, I’m eager to learn as I go and jump in with both feet.” (Better yet to suggest some first steps toward marketing the business opportunity.)

But instead: Here I am. Here’s my background. I can help you, and I’ll benefit too. I’m going to call you next week to make sure you got my stuff.

But did you read my stuff?!?!?!

Agghhh!!

Quintify Database Solutions, a Wilmington-based provider of customized database solutions, is looking for a marketing intern.  This person will be responsible for all aspects of marketing and selling online businesses that sell half-price gift certificates to local communities. 

Port City Deals (www.portcitydeals.com) is the first half-price gift certificate website that Quintify has created.  With the support of Quintify’s team, the marketing intern will be responsible for developing and implementing a marketing plan that results in selling similar websites as business opportunities to budding entrepreneurs in other geographical markets.  We’ll pay a commission on these sales.

This is a great opportunity for an intern with a marketing focus to run with their own project!  Please submit your resume to kelley@quintify.com.

The seminar is being held Wednesday, October 14th, at the New Hanover County Library in Wilmington, North Carolina.  For more information or to sign up - visit http://www.quintify.com/seminar.html.
