The paper resume has been an inefficient and inadequate tool to hire and get hired for some time.
Many have attempted to spice it up but no one has been bold enough to throw it out. Until now.
what is Intern Sushi?
Our philosophy encourages users to be as picky about their internships, or interns for that matter, as they are about their sushi.
Intern Sushi is a new way for interns to land internships and companies to hire interns.
Our world is full of young, creative individuals ripe with ambition, fresh ideas and unseen talents. But, they lack a stage to present themselves. Intern Sushi gives interns and companies a multimedia platform to tell their stories. Through one minute videos and digital profiles, interns and employers alike are put into the spotlight. Literally. After all, human history is a series of stories well told and the key to unlocking one’s career potential is the ability to create, shape and communicate his or her story.
Intern Sushi leverages technology and the social dynamics of the web to connect the brightest and most talented interns with the best companies. Intern Sushi aims to maximize human potential.
Intern Sushi was designed to reinvent and reconstruct the internship application and hiring process. The digital profile was only the beginning. We went on to create a tracking and management system to complete the internship life cycle. With organizational and time-saving tools, Intern Sushi simplifies, accelerates and elevates traditional hiring procedures. And last but not least, our video and written content delivers exclusive insight into our industries, the minds of interns and the world of interning.
What’s with the name?
When you choose a sushi restaurant you often consider quality, variety, presentation and future benefits (i.e. health factors). Aren’t these the factors you also consider when choosing an internship or an intern?
Rightfully so, most people are very picky about where they eat sushi and what they order. We believe interns should be just as picky about where they intern and employers just as picky about who they hire.
