Jolly Dragon (JD), which is run through Unfair Advantage Ltd Oy, has numerous possibilities for carrying out project studies, practical training placements and thesis topics.  JD is located in Helsinki and operates all year long.  Building social networks around fun and easy-going events is a core focus but the concept is growing all of the time.  We are searching for enthusiastic, hard-working individuals who would like to learn by doing and have a little fun in the process.  The official working language is English although Finnish may be used for projects and training placements.

The attachments provide ideas about the concept of JD and the types of project studies and thesis topics available.  Looking to carry out a practical training?  Jolly Dragon is also seeking trainees who are interested in marketing, event planning, research and networking.  At the current time JD does not offer a salary for trainees although a commission may offered when possible.  We ask that trainees participate in at least one event per week with our company and the events can be arranged on a weekly basis according to one’s own schedule.

Whether you wish to pursue a project study idea, thesis topic or to become a trainee, please send your CV and a cover letter explaining your interests, your qualifications and how you can contribute to JD.  Please send your application material by 15 March 2011 at 16:00.  All those applying will be contacted by email within one week of the application deadline.  Please email all inquiries and application material to Mari Alila at mari@jollydragon.net.
