What recession? Viz looking for a Collateral Coordinator and Web Development intern photo

Viz sure is ignoring this whole cutback on new jobs: we've got yet another set of positions opening up: the first one, which isn't so much a job as free labor that gets you college credit (which I then had to pay money for in my own experience), is working as a web production intern. This job consists of skill sets that you'd expect: HTML, CSS, PHP, Flash, and it looks like you'd be helping out Viz Europe -- a knowledge of French is greatly appreciated.

The other one, Collateral Coordinator, sounds a bit more action-y, and provides a bit better of a paycheck, I'd wager. You'd be responsible for getting all of Viz's latest acquisitions from Japan over here to the U.S. So that means handling documentation, reports and the like.

The requirements for the job aren't actually too bad -- it's open to most people who have a few years of work under their belt, and the only hurdle is an effective level of Japanese language knowledge, because it'd require translations day in and day out, and dealing with the Japanese firms Shogakukan and Shueisha quite often.

Let us know if you're applying: we'll put in a good word for you!

i don't think it's that viz is operating because the recession hasn't hit them, but rather that they're preparing for the growth that's to come after it, if anything, it's a fairly good indication that the slump is about to end, as it's already started to recover. it makes sense that they'd want to take the oppurtunity to capitalize in the power vacuum that's been left by the departure of some giants, or simply to remain competitive with others in the same industry.

a few job openings may cost them upwards of a million, but the amount of additional revenue that they'd generate on their titles from the work of these workers certainly outweighs the costs. at least, that's why i'm thinking they're doing this.
I know a friend who would be perfect for the internship, if only he weren't going to college in New York already. ^^;; Oh well.
