Today we’re kicking off our Back to School, Back to Work contest where we’re giving away an HP dv6 Laptop, an HP Mini 110 Netbook, a customized Timbuk2 bag, and Syncables software to one lucky winner. Last December when we did another HP giveaway we took a look at entry level jobs with HP, so this time we’re going to check out Timbuk2 (since they were kind enough to provide a prize for one of you). They’re a San Francisco born and bred company that builds “bags and accessories for urban adventures with a simple philosophy—create good-looking, tough-as-Hell bags you can truly make your own.” I already had one that I stole from my girlfriend, and I just got another to check out for this promotion (the bag goes with me everywhere now).
All the Way to Timbuk2
Timbuk2 does one thing—make bags—and they do it really well. They stand behind their products with an awesome guarantee, and they offer a recycling program (you get a coupon code in return) for people who beat the living snot out of their bags. If you take a look at those two pages, you’ll learn a lot about Timbuk2’s culture. They seem pretty loose, but they’re also deadly serious about being the best at what they do and doing it the right way (check their manufacturing policy). Beyond that, Timbuk2 takes a fun approach with their Jobs page. Although there’s not a lot of content, you’ll get the idea of what working at Timbuk2 is like pretty quickly. Right now they only have one opening for a Graphic Designer (not really entry level), but they are always looking for top new talent. You can reach out to Timbuk2 by sending a cover letter and résumé to jobs@timbuk2.com.
