Last week we told you about Converseon’s entry-level jobs as we discussed how important conversations are to online marketing. Today we’re going to talk about a company called Mzinga that focuses on the social media and Web 2.0 communities where online conversations are happening. They realize that the Internet is becoming the primary place where businesses interact with employees, customers, and partner, and that’s why Mzinga tailors their solutions to these communications. Their client list includes names like ABC, AOL, ESPN, CBS.com, iVillage, Chevron Corporation, Johnson & Johnson, Marsh, Inc., Mercer, Prudential Financial, Deutsche Post World Net, the United Nations Development Programme, and The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, so they must know what they’re talking about. The name Mzinga comes from the Swahili word for “beehive,” which has long been used as a symbol of industry, teamwork, perseverance, and community. Sounds like a good choice of a name.
If you’re still not fully grasping what Mzinga is all about, watch this video from Harvard Business Publishing with Rusty Williams, a Senior Vice President at Mzinga.
Now that you understand the power of community and how Mzinga is helping major businesses manage their communities, let’s take a look at what kind of entry-level job opportunities are available at Mzinga. There are currently 6 jobs listed on Mzinga’s Jobs page, and 5 of them look like they may be good fits for new college grads depending on experience. They are Community Manager, Community Consultant, Solutions Architect, Software Developer, and Java Software Engineer. Each job has a detailed description, so you should get a good idea of what Mzinga is looking for when hiring. We’d imagine that a company that is all about community is a fun place to work, and they’re located in Burlington, MA which is convenient from Boston – certainly an area that is friendly to new college grads. If you’re interested in applying for a job at Mzinga, send a cover letter, resume, and salary requirements to Careers@mzinga.com.

Willy, great write up. Thank you so much for taking the time to highlight our company, Mzinga. We are very excited about the idea of social media/online community for business and believe that it’s a real game changer — something our clients are finding out firsthand.
If you’d ever like to carry the conversation onto Twitter, I’m @astrout.
Best,
Aaron
Great post! We try to be a fun place to work – hopefully we’re doing a good job. ;-)
I’d encourage anyone who’s interested in learning more about Mzinga to connect with us on social media. I’m pretty active on Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn and like connecting with people before they apply for a job. Also, if you’re local, we BBQ every Thursday and that’s a good place to meet a bunch of folks from Mzinga and figure out if it might be the right place for you.
