Calling all social media rising stars!

Splendid client Big Yellow Self Storage is looking for a determined, dynamic and talented individual to become its social media intern this summer. Brilliant news in a recession - we know how hard to come by these opportunities can be.

Big Yellow is running a competition for the paid internship via the social video channel 12seconds.tv. Candidates should be able to sell themselves via an online audition which will last no longer than 12 seconds thus creating the world’s first speed-video job application. People just need to tell Big Yellow, in no more than 12 seconds why they’re right for the job: http://12seconds.tv/campaign/bigyellowselfstorage.

Whilst there’s only one paid internship placement up for grabs, Big Yellow is committed to showcasing all entries to the industry in the hope that other talented hopefuls will be snapped up by recruiters. The search is open to PR, marketing and new media undergraduates and new graduates but is also open to submissions from anyone else who fancies a go providing they’re over the age of 18 and are eligible to work in the UK.

So now you’re wondering how to enter? Candidates need to speed over to 12seconds.tv and upload their video interview in five easy steps designed to test their social media prowess:

1. Register an account on 12seconds.tv/campaign/bigyellowselfstorage
2. Link your Twitter and Facebook accounts to your 12 seconds account (this is an option in your profile area)
3. Record a 12 second video on a mobile phone, video camera or webcam and upload it to 12seconds.tv/campaign/bigyellowselfstorage
4. Fill in the ‘submit my CV’ form and attach a recent copy of your CV

The closing date for entries is June 13th 2009. The winner will be announced on June 29th 2009.
