OpenSpace

OpenSpace is growing! We’ve had record days in both June and July (apparently, not everyone is on vacation). And, we are expecting to welcome many more new members within the coming months.

So, we’re looking for some additional fun, energetic and personable people to help run our creative work, event, and meeting space. If this sounds like you, and you have an interest in event planning, hospitality, networking and customer service, send us your cover letter and resume!

Part-Time Concierge

Are you constantly telling your friends about the newest social media tool? Do you like to strike up conversations with total strangers? Do you stop on the downtown mall to give directions to out-of-towners? If so, we’re looking for a few good “people” people like you to be the first face our customers see, and to set the stage for an amazing experience.

A candidate we’ll love:

* You exude warmth, energy, and charisma
* You love meeting and inspiring new people
* You have mastered the art of conversation
* You get people, and people get you
* You thrive on the unexpected
* You’re an expert at juggling multiple tasks
* You work just as enthusiastically behind the scenes as you do on center stage

A position you’ll love:

* Warmly welcoming customers to the space and ensuring a great experience and fond farewell
* Orchestrating the collaborative work adventure in the best possible way
* Understanding the needs of customers and connecting them to the right person at the right time
* Providing every customer with a superlative experience
* Looking for every opportunity to shine with our customers
* Anticipating customers’ future needs

Please send your resume and cover letter to careers@getopenspace.com.

Yes, it’s ugly. In fact, it’s Charlottesville’s Ugliest* Office! Congratulations to Simeon Fitch and the Bens at Mustard Seed Software, LLC for winning one month of membership at OpenSpace and a new iPad! In their own words …

SAVE US FROM OURSELVES!

Three guys, one basement,
Hot & sweaty coders.
Coffee stains & dust bunnies,
Awkward body odors.

Late nights fixing bugs,
Caffeinated shaking.
Foreign matter between keys,
Carpel tunnel aching.

Dog hair, food wrappers,
Sticky keyboard madness.
Dim lights & camped desks,
Startup business sadness.

GET ME OUT OF THIS PLACE!
Get me into some OpenSpace!

*Ugly is a subjective determination, and in this case labeled such at the sole discretion of the OpenSpace judging committee. Yes, we saw hoarders, plenty of mold, 80s pastel décor and bearded ladies in the submissions, and it was a tough call.

As we suspected, many of you are grinding it out every day in some VERY ugly offices. So, if you need a break, stop by – there is OpenSpace for you.
