Note: The founder is very picky and has a standard of excellence that you may or may not be used to. We need someone that’s very good at taking feedback and pushes themselves to be excellent in their work.
All hires start with a two-week trial. We want to make sure you’re a good fit for us and vice versa as we tend to do our best to take care of our staff once fully hired.
ATTITUDE: SEEKING POSITIVE, UPBEAT and FUN personality. This is the company culture and even though we work very hard at the highest level, we do want a team that can also enjoy virtual activities together.
TIPS: Founder seriously hates typos and lack of punctuality. Poor writing skills aren’t acceptable. No need to apply if you’re prone to typing errors or if you’re chronically late.
OTHER TIPS:
-If you’re unorganized, sloppy, lack attention to detail, are sensitive to critical feedback, this is not a good fit.
-Do not apply if you’re not available during business hours. General business hours are universally 9a-5p. We are okay to deviate alittle from this but 1a-7a is not business hours.
-Do not apply if your proposal hourly rate exceeds this post. We start everyone off the same and then compensate appropriately as we see fit. There’s room for growth but and higher pay but it’s performance based.
-If anything is unclear, ask for clarification versus making assumptions.
-Excellent written and verbal communication skills are very important
DO NOT USE CHATGPT! Chatgpt is a great tool but when trying to evaluate candidate writing skills, it’s very hard to evaluate when candidates are using AI. Using grammarly is fine.
