We are a luxury lifestyle-oriented startup targeted at transpacific travelers between US and Asia. We are based in El Segundo, minutes away from the beach. It's a more hands-on situation than most internships that will quickly acclimate you to the web/social media industry, allow for a great deal of useful networking opportunities through the CEO's large rolodex, and develop high-demand skills that can be applied in more or less traditional settings in the future. In short, it'll be a fun and valuable experience to help launch your career in media/communications.

The ability to write like Ian Fleming and knowledge of cities such as Seoul, Shanghai, or Tokyo a plus.
Depending on the individual's skills and interests, your duties will include the following:
- write interviews of members
- produce blog posts in online magazine
- writing copy for our newsletter
- writing marketing and product copy for your website
- duties as assigned

Get Access To All JobsEditor CPT: Frequently Asked Questions
Does an Editor role qualify for CPT at any school?
Not automatically. CPT eligibility depends on whether your specific program at your specific school treats editorial work as an integral part of the curriculum. Schools with journalism, communications, English, or media studies programs typically have established CPT pathways for Editor roles, but your DSO makes the final determination based on your enrolled coursework and degree requirements.
How do I explain CPT to an employer who hasn't hired international students before?
CPT is employer-friendly compared to most work authorization categories. The employer doesn't file anything with USCIS or DOL. Your school handles the authorization, and you provide the employer with your updated I-20 showing CPT approval. Give HR a one-paragraph explanation emphasizing there's no filing cost or government petition on their end.
Can I work as an Editor on CPT for a fully remote company?
Yes. CPT has no geographic restriction requiring you to work in the same city as your school. Remote editorial roles qualify as long as the work itself connects to your curriculum and your DSO approves it. Confirm your school's specific remote-work policy, since a small number of DSO offices have added internal guidelines around fully remote placements.
Where can I find Editor jobs where employers are comfortable with CPT?
Migrate Mate surfaces editorial employers with documented Labor Condition Application filing history, which signals familiarity with work authorization processes. That filing history doesn't guarantee CPT experience specifically, but it means the employer has already navigated DOL requirements for international employees, making them far more likely to work through the CPT paperwork without resistance.
What happens if my CPT end date passes before my editorial project is finished?
You must stop working on the day your CPT authorization expires, even if the project is incomplete. Working past the CPT end date is an unauthorized employment violation that can affect your F-1 status. If the role needs to continue, return to your DSO before the expiration date to request an extension, which requires a new or renewed enrollment justification tied to your curriculum.
