“Many Burton employees will snag freshies first thing in the morning before coming in to work during the winter.” Being non “riders,” we’re not quite sure what that means, but it sounds like Burton is a place where people love what they do. As if that wasn’t enough, their logo matches our color scheme, so we had to do a post about the world’s first snowboard factory.

Burton currently has three great entry-level opportunities that are perfect for someone fresh out of college. In their Irvine, CA location there are two positions: they are hiring a PR Coordinator (preferably someone who is positive, enthusiastic – especially about snowboarding, and a great communicator) and a US Apparel Sales Manager (this time they’re looking for somebody who is independent, investigative, and into traveling a lot). At their headquarters in Burlington, VT, they have an opening in product development as an Assistant Product Manger – Burton Binding for someone with excellent Adobe Illustrator skills and basic knowledge of how plastic injected parts are manufactured. The cool thing about these postings is that the job descriptions are honestly written (one job description that is sadly not entry-level used the word “stoked”) and provide the goals they have set for their future hire. Burton wants to hire passionate people, and that is certainly reflected in the way they write their job postings.

Furthermore, Burton’s web site is a great example of how a Careers site should be. We like it so much, because it tells a story. They give you all the information that you’d want to find as a job seeker – job listings with meaningful descriptions, blurbs on all of their locations, a jobs FAQ, information on benefits, and an employee photo gallery. Unfortunately, because of the way their site is scripted, we can’t link directly to the pages, but you can access it all from their Jobs page. Also take a look at Burton’s home page and their company site. We’re keeping it short today, because Burton’s site should answer all your questions on its own.

Note: On April 22nd we revisited entry-level jobs at Burton.
