Amy, my girlfriend, loves trivia. There’s no better way to win her over than to ask her a quiz question or share a random factoid. Since she travels every week for work, I recently bought her The Visual Miscellaneum: A Colorful Guide to the World’s Most Consequential Trivia (affiliate link) to read on the plane. It’s an amazingly cool book that any information geek will love—I definitely spent some time with it before I gave it to her. It’s all about taking data, facts, and trivia and making it visual through design. The book was written by David Mccandless, who is also behind the website Information is Beautiful. There’s a good chance that you’ve seen his infographics before—here’s one called The Billion Dollar Gram and here’s another called Caffeine and Calories. I think it’s truly brilliant work.
The position that David Mccandless is offering with Information is Beautiful doesn’t fit in with most of the stuff I cover here. First of all, it’s based in the United Kingdom—South London to be exact. Second, it’s kind of an internship, and kind of a job. It toes the line of both depending on what you intend to do with the opportunity. It may not be typical of what I cover on One Day, One Job, but it’s way too awesome not to take a look at. David is looking for an Intern / Junior Research to join a small creative team to help him with new book, print, and web projects. It really is a once in a lifetime opportunity, and it is paid. You can find all of the details in the job description including how to apply. If you’re intellectually curious, it doesn’t get any better than this, so reach out to David and see if you’re someone whom he’d like to work with.
