Konnichiwa Kellogg!

Japan Club would like to welcome back all of the 2nd years who deplaned and immediately went to the Keg, welcome the 1st years who have survived painting maternity wards in Central America with 23 fellow students, and say hello to the 1Ys who spent their summer learning to love the soul-crushing gray walls of our beloved Jacobs.  We hope everyone is enjoying the amazing fall weather and would like to celebrate life, good times, and Japan Club at our first event of the year next Wed (Check it out below)  We can’t wait to meet you and share some Pocky together!!!

Threadless Japanese Development Internship Opportunity at Chicago Area

Threadless is an international firm.  Over 60% of our community and revenue come from international markets.  However, although they've sold to over 170 countries this year, most of our revenue is concentrated in top 10-20 markets.  They think there are some markets they don't yet have much share, but there is large potential, and Japan is at the top of their hit list.  Both our CEO and COO are currently in Japan exploring business development opportunities.  They are looking for an intern to assist with this project. 

• Any of the above categories of students would work for us - 1st year, 2nd year, or native Japanese speaking, as long as the candidate has a business background and has insight into how business works in Japan.
• Start and finish dates as well as the term are flexible, although they think 3 months is a good minimum.
• We're also open to candidates for a paid position if business background is excellent.
• For more detailed information please see the attached file and contact Josh Nickell (joshn@skinnycorp.com)
