We are looking for two summer interns to work in our Omaha office.
Instructions:
- We thought you’d like to check out the office before you start working here, so we made you a tour. Watch the videos, fill in the blanks (MadLibs style) by uploading your finished video to YouTube, then posting the live video link in the “embed” areas. Whatever you feel is appropriate. We didn’t make any rules.
