Writer's Assistant

Budget: Don't Know

We are a small company that creates and sells training videos for web development software.

We are currently hiring a "Writer's Assistant" - this person would be responsible for researching industry news, events, competition, etc and compiling it into Google Docs so the writer can easily find and use the information.

You will not be designing or developing websites. You will only be researching and writing.

You'll be expected to subscribe to multiple blogs, websites, etc to stay up to date in the web design and development world. It would be ideal if you are already interested in web design and development.

This is a contract position (to start), for less than 10 hours a week...

However - we're looking for someone to really get involved and take on more hours eventually - other tasks could include writing content rich emails, writing newsletters, generating traffic, writing blog posts, social networking, etc.

If you are most of the following, I'd love to hear from you:
- easy to communicate with and get a hold of
- outgoing
- friendly
- works well under pressure
- goes above and beyond
- capable of working without supervision
- honest
- dependable...

To apply, please email all of the following:
1 - why you're right for this job (here's your chance to show off your writing skills)
2 - the most interesting thing you know about web development and design (here's your chance to show off your research skills)
3 - your resume (if you don't have one, a description of your experience is fine)
4 - what you expect to be paid (per hour). Responses without expected pay will not be considered.

Please keep in mind: This is an entry level position. You will mainly be Googling. We do not need anyone who would describe themselves as "extremely experienced", we just need a hard worker with a desire to learn.

This position is a telecommuting (from home) position - Must
have basic internet, an email address, and a phone for occasional chats.
