Company works hard to meet the needs of our small business customers,
enabling them to build and grow their online presence. We help them realize
their dreams of self-reliance, entrepreneurship, creativity, and financial
independence. In turn, we hope that our employees and consultants are also
realizing their own dreams. That’s why we work so hard to locate talented,
passionate, and dedicated people who want to build and grow their careers
with a company like ours.

Type of candidate:

The client is in immediate term need for is someone who can be on site at
least 40 hrs per week and who can jump right in and run with writing content
for widgets, applications, training materials guides - sort of a utility
player who is comfortable interfacing with multiple stakeholders from
technical, engineering, marketing and product backgrounds.

The person needs to be extremely flexible and is able to work outside of
traditional methodical writing assignments and is comfortable receiving
untidy direction - meaning it is not all laid out on the table and we don’t
know exactly what we need all at once.   There are meetings which are called
spontaneously throughout the day and our writer needs to be able to be
plucked from a task to change direction and deliver on short timeframes.
The requirements are coming in as we find and assess gaps, and we need a
person who can essentially plug and play.  One new requirement we have is
training materials for our reps.  I think the candidate needs to have a
skills set beyond just copywriting and needs to have experience being on
project teams supporting major marketing initiatives.

Feel free to pass along to a colleague.
