Cool Companies To Work For #1: AirBNB

Jan 22, 2014

β€œInstead of wondering when your next vacation is, maybe you should set up a life you don’t need to escape from.”
Seth Godin

Whoever said that a career is all about work and no play, they’ve got it wrong. Airbnb is a disrupter business shaking up the hotel industry across the globe.

If you’re interested in creating cool new gadgets, more of a math-whiz, an Instagram addict (#instadaily), or a marketing guru… it seems that Airbnb has it all with positions including Engineering, Finance/Accounting, Photography and Marketing.

As an innovative San Franciso based company, Airbnb has created an online marketplace running over 192 countries for people to list, discover and book unique accommodations around the world. If you’ve ever fancied living in a something a bitΒ different, try a tree house for a night in the UK, an igloo in Austria or even a tipi in Spain.

The fun doesn’t stop there, as their collaborative culture allows Airbnb’s Β employees to create, learn and play together whilst working. As part of their employee benefits, they are given a $2000 allowance per year to travel worldwide, bring their dogs to work on a daily basis, go on field trips and play with their in-house national Scrabble champion.

These great ideas began with their 3 co-founders Nathan Blecharczyk, Brian Chesky and Joe Gebbia who had a great vision and the persistence to achieve it. Nathan Blecharczyk was already becoming an entrepreneur whilst he was in high school, selling to clients in more than 20 countries. WhichΒ means for all you HSC CoWorkers, it’s never too early to have great ideas and start implementing them!

Success in the HSC (and beyond) starts with key behaviours!
At HSC CoWorks, we know that academic success is all about building the right habits and behaviours. That’s why we coach our students to embrace these six key behaviours that drive results, including:
βœ… Planning Ahead – No last-minute cramming, just consistent effort.
βœ… Training Consistently – Just like an athlete, success comes from practice.
βœ… Seeking and Using Feedback – Growth happens when we embrace feedback.
βœ… Pushing Through Challenges – Discomfort = progress!
βœ… Taking Ownership – The HSC is in your hands.
These aren’t just study habits; they’re life skills. The students who succeed in the HSC (and beyond) aren’t necessarily the smartestβ€”they’re the ones who commit to these behaviours every day.
