Thoughtfaucet is currently accepting applications to become an apprentice. I’m using the word “apprentice” more in the beginner-craftsman sense than in the Donald Trump sense. But if you’re a Donald Trump sort of person that’s ok too.
Here’s a bullet-list of details. Application information is below.
- You will be doing meaningful work on behalf of Thoughtfaucet and other organizations.
- I hope to get a wide variety of age, gender and experience among the applicant pool.
- A Thoughtfaucet apprentice is not an intern (though if that’s what you want on your resumé that’s ok).
- Students of any discipline are encouraged to apply. I am more interested in how you learn and communicate than in what discipline you are studying.
- People who are not students are encouraged to apply. Student mindset is more important than course enrollment.
- Thoughtfaucet produces work in a variety of fields and disciplines including strategy, design, animation, programming, analytics, online marketing, coding, writing and education. If you have a particular interest or existing ability, that’s great. If not, that’s great too.
- I am seeking a maximum of three apprentices.
- Apprentices will be responsible for scheduling their on-site time and meetings — this is a flexible environment.
- Applicants who can travel to the Thoughtfaucet studio in Burlington, VT are preferred. However, depending on the course of work it may be possible to work with a remote apprentice.
To apply please send me a link to your LinkedIn profile. This is the only thing I want to see for now. I will let you know when I have reviewed it. If I want to schedule an interview you will receive a request via my scheduling system. If I decline to interview you at this time I will let you know.
Once you begin, your first task will be to learn how to make a mindmap. After you have proficiency in this documentation technique we will explore an individual course of study that benefits you and Thoughtfaucet.
I look forward to working with you.
P.S.: If the apprentice program at Thoughtfaucet doesn’t look like you, perhaps you’ll be interested in an internship with Pete’s RV where you will work with Phil LeClaire or maybe you want to be Anthony Brogna’s sidekick.
