WORK PERMITS

  Under California law, if you're under 18 & have not graduated from high school, you must obtain a permit to work at any time of year, including summer vacation. You must be at least 14 to obtain a permit. (There's an exception for Entertainment Permits.)

You must obtain a Work Permit for each specific job. Therefore, you must get a job before you can get a permit. There is no such thing as a general permit.

All Work Permits expire 5 days after school begins in August. All work permits must be renewed at that time.

IMMEDIATE NEED

If you are interested in entrepreneurship and the web, we have an internship opportunity for you. We're looking for an enthusiastic, motivated summer intern to help grow Customized Engraving. Customized Engraving is the online division of a 30-year-old Palo Alto company, and we are experiencing rapid growth. At our current rate of growth, we expect to double sales over last year.

We are accepting applications from individuals at least 16 years old. You should have an impeccable eye for detail and accuracy. In addition, you should be punctual and be willing to work with changing conditions as every day will bring different challenges in a casual, fast-paced environment.

This will be an opportunity to learn how a business operates and expands. You will gain exposure to sales, marketing, operations, and inventory management. Because our company is small, you will be given the opportunity to work on strategic, critical projects that have a direct impact on company operations. Examples of prior internship projects include new-hire training materials and new product lines.

Customized Engraving holds business hours between 9:30am and 6:00 p.m.; this position is flexible around classes and school events. No prior experience needed; we will train specifically for each task. This is an unpaid internship. 

Requirements:
Self-motivated
High attention to detail
Strong oral and written communication skiills
Trustworthy

Please contact Mana Yau, info@cengraving.com, 493-2860.

All interested applicants, please submit a resume and 3-5 references. Work-related references are preferred if available.
