This summer, online food ordering service [GrubHub](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grubhub-halloween) is seeking out an intern with mad "[Snapchat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snap-shack) Skillz." Naturally, the first place GrubHub put out this call was on the Snapchat app itself, which included a six image slideshow explaining that they're in need of a summer intern and applications are open until May 9th.

It's a two step process to apply; first, applicants need to send GrubHub their best doodle on Snapchat and then head on over to a shortened [Google](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/specs) link, which leads to GrubHub's careers page and more details on the social media intern position.

GrubHub's recruitment campaign is simple, but it's a great way to get prospective interns to show off their sense of humor, creativity and of course, their social media skills.
