Entrepreneurial Assistant Job Description

创业助理职位描述

We're coming to Shenzhen to climb mount Nanshan and take over the 土豪 building. We're going to shake the world in the process, so we're going to need some help!

我们将去深圳爬南山，去深圳接管那个土豪大厦。在这过程中我们将撼动世界，所以我们现在需要一些帮助！

We're looking for a recent college graduate with little work experience and massive motivation to help support two side-by-side entrepreneurial businesses. Having no work experience is TOTALLY fine and may be preferable— we're going to train you in some very different ways of doing things. Candidates should be able to converse in English, since both partners speak English primarily. Bachelor's / MA / MS degrees preferred but NO formal education is necessary for this position. We need your skills and your personal ambition more than any credential. That said, credentials are awesome: they show that you've committed yourself to something difficult and succeeded.

我们在找一位刚毕业的有一点点工作经验的大学生，有很强的积极性来帮助支持两个并肩齐行的公司创业。如果没有工作经验也是可以的，或是更好—我们将培训你如何用多种方式来做事情。申请者必须懂用英文交流，因为两位合伙人都是说英语的。学士学位、硕士、博士学位也行，但此职位也不限非正式教育。比起证书来，我们更需要的是你的技能及你个人的抱负。即便如此，证书也是极好的，它们能体现你有致力于一些比较困难的事情而且成功了。
