The Points Guy Is Hiring a Paid Intern to Review First Class Flights, Hotels, and More
Calling all interns! If you’re currently on the market for a stellar internship to add to your resume, you’re going to want to stop and read this. The internship to end all internships is here and it includes first-class travel (and $20/hour). Get your beach towel and sunscreen ready, because if you land this gig, you’re going to be working on your tan real soon.
The Points Guy, a travel and points website, is looking to hire a Travel and Rewards intern. The job will include rating flights, hotels, trains, and more, including some first-class travel, on flights like Emirates and Cathay Pacific. This intern will also stay in top hotels in popular travel destinations like Greece and Singapore. Can you just picture what their Instagram feed will look like?
Now, while this intern will be living the life of luxury by reviewing so many first-class destinations, the CEO and founder of The Points Guy, Brian Kelly wants to keep them humble as well. There will be some reviews of premium economy flights and even some coach flights. After all, The Points Guy started out as a blog meant to help people maximize their travel experiences and earn points, so not everyone is looking to blow all of their points on a first-class flight when a premium economy seat can be equally plush.
The job requirements include:
- Proficient writer.
- Skilled at social media.
- Photography and video experience.
- Fun and energetic video presence.
- Current college student or recent graduate (December 2018 or more recent).
- Doesn’t need to be a world traveler but somebody who is culturally aware and curious.
- Understanding of hotels, airplanes and general travel.
- Must be able to tell apart Cristal from Korbel, while blindfolded, or at least be willing to learn.
- Must be 21 or older to taste/review alcohol beverage products.
- Basic design knowledge is a plus. Does the hotel have crown molding or coffered ceilings?
If you fit the mold for this internship, you can apply now through this application. You’re going to want to hurry quick, an internship this good doesn’t stay open for long. The internship length will be based on the intern’s schedule but is estimated to take place between late-May/early-June and August. Interns must be 21+, current college students or recent college graduates. Based on the application, the job appears to be based in New York, though this intern will be traveling so often, who can say where their real home base will be?
