Just got this on Twitter...it explains itself;)

Join ONE for the Summer

ONEcondoms is looking for interns. 
We know you are tired of mediocre internships, so get ready for a wicked internship that offers a great view of the Boston harbor and an opportunity to join a socially conscious company.
There are two internships available this summer.
The first is for the digitally advanced,someone who is passionate about capturing things on film and creating a product that is both educational and entertaining.  The ONEvideo intern will head up a series of video projects (brand and educational) and help express concise marketing messages in a creative way. Applicants must be organized, self motivated, and possess a high degree of competency in video development which includes copy writing, shooting video, editing video, and creating a strong digital video footprint. 
The second is for a well rounded marketing superstar who is passionate about branding and marketing communication.  The ONEcommunicate intern will contribute in brainstorms, help with promotions and events, develop digital content, manage an online street team, recruit bands, and much much more. (We said well-rounded). Applicants should be an Advertising, Marketing, PR or Communications major and a whiz in MSOffice and Adobe CS.
Both ONEinterns need to thrive in a busy environment and must be passionate about marketing, branding, social media, pop culture, entertainment and education. Ideal candidates can multi-task, show initiative, pay attention-to-detail,and maintain a professional demeanor. You should also have excellent written and oral communication skills. In return, you are guaranteed a hands-on experience with a family of extraordinarily dedicated people and get to work for a brand that is socially conscious and manufactures an amazing product.
You can apply by following these 3 simple steps: 
Step ONE: Check us out at ONEcondoms.com then send @engageONE 3 tweets explaining why you want to be a ONEintern.
Step Two: If we tweet you back, Send us the traditional stuff- Resume/CV, Background, Experience but do so with style. We aren’t square, so you shouldn’t be either.
Step Three: Create a video that tells us about you and why you would be the best ONEintern ever. (This would be a good place to get others to tell us about you).
We know there is a tremendous amount of talent out there and so we can’t interview or contact all entries. We do, however, promise to review every submission. If you aren’t picked for the internship but did a great job on the application we will reward you with free condoms.
That’s it. Now grab your smartphone, tweet us and let’s get started.
