<![CDATA[On-site full-time position in Newton, MA. No recruiters, no off-site workers Required skills: superb grammar and proofreading skills, high comfort level with HTML code and the web in general, eagle eye for detail Summary job description: Proofreading and a range of production tasks helping us create great content for great clients. Visit tippingpointlabs.com and tippingpointlabs.tv for examples and more info. We're a small staff of multi-faceted, very experienced people. This is an entry-level position with wide-ranging exposure to everything about strategizing, creating, and deploying high-quality online content. This production position requires -- a top-scoring command of the English language -- confidence working in html-type code (you don't have to write it, but you constantly have to work within it) -- a knack for learning new stuff (WordPress, Flickr, GetSatisfaction, YouTube, Ning, wikis ...) -- and good habits of checking your own work and remembering what you've learned We'll train in specifics, but we require someone with an eagle eye, superb grammar skills, a geek streak, and a hunger for experience in creating online content. We want to make a careful choice for a long-lasting match. Our company is growing steadily, and though this is an entry-level job, we're looking for a multi-faceted person with potential to grow and advance. Application process: We will review responses received by the end of the day Wednesday, March 10 -- no resumes received after that date will be considered at this time. The job starts immediately after the hire. First, eview the websites listed above -- if that's the sort of work you want to help create, follow these steps. Send us an email that includes the following elements. 1) Correct the passage you'll find below (see "TESTING") -- don't mark them for correction, simply correct them -- and paste them into your email to us. 2) Additionally, compose one query (just one) that you might send to the author of the passage. 3) Write a little about -- your interest in online content -- your ability to spot errors and keep track of different usage styles -- your comfort level working in code such as HTML, XHTML, CSS, PHP -- your learning style for picking up new skills 4) Attach your resume 5) Email subject line: Proofreader/Web Production Assistant Send to jobs@tippingpointlabs.com TESTING The role of Proofreader/Web Production Assistance, which we're advertising for here on Craig's List, has many tasks. The top task is proofreading, and that involves learning style usage as well as brand standards and variations across channels such as web sites, Flicker, You Tube, and etc. Checking that links work, and that the links go to the page it should. The top skill required is an outstanding command of grammar, and the subtleties of punctuation that clarify meaning. Also, our proofreader needs to spot when its time to look something up. A natural feel for language can't be taught but it can be cultured to a quick response that cuts through tangled sentences and yields the meaning for a smooth "reading" experience and an avoidance of traps that can result in "correct" constructions that feel "wrong" to readers. This is NOT a writing position, but it can be an entry level position that could grow into those or other positions, just depending on one's interests and career goals. Mark Twain said, "Consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds", but that's crazy. And we need a copy editor whose consistently catching the inconsistancies. So we're saying what we mean and meaning what's on the page. There may be scores of ways a thought can be conveyed correctly: but there are hundreds of ways to undercut or even revert a thought's intended meaning. Reminder: Write a single query. ]]>

<![CDATA[We are a small research and advisory organization (6-7 people) spread out geographically. We are heavy users of Yammer, Skype and other online systems every day. I am looking for someone who can be very plugged in to what we are doing and help us in as many ways as possible. Here is more background: MUST be able to do: 1. Be able to monitor our online workflow and execute on requests like "Need to schedule a telephone briefing with the management of XYZ company" and make it happen. 2. Follow up on basic requests for information for customers and partners. As an example "Send the PDF files of our 2009 research reports to company ABC." 3. Handle some basic online tasks like "add this person to our online membership system" or "upload this report to basecamp" or "create versions of this letter for these 5 people and fax it to them." 4. Being able to learn quickly, especially technology and online stuff is critical. For example if I ask something like "please take the last conference call transcript and create a wordle of it for me." Is something that requires a few pointers and help to do the first time but then if asked again it should be easy. We try new things all the time. 5. We will provide information, training, support and everything that we can but the individual for this role must have their own initiative and most of all BE RESOURCEFUL, curious and want to learn. 6. From a "fit" standpoint we are looking for someone for whom this can be a long-term fit and not just a stopgap between jobs or something to do until a full-time job comes along. Could be good for a parent who has decided to avoid the 9 to 5 for a few years while they have young kids at home (as an example.) NICE if possible: 1. Have the ability to proofread and edit research content. 2. Understand online PR and marketing to assist in putting out releases and finding ways to expand our reach. 3. Experience with MS Word, Excel, Powerpoint or other publishing software. Design acumen or experience would be helpful. 4. Although we don't expect it a person who can also handle basic sales would be able to earn some commission over-and-above their monthly project fee. So as you can see the basics are pretty clear but we are looking for someone very smart and efficient that is savvy with respect to online virtual work and will fit into our always-on start-up mentality. We will offer some minimal compensation initially depending on how things go at first. Based on results we will increase that over time. However we are looking for someone that can do this part time (perhaps in conjunction with other clients wanting the same type of support). We're talking about a couple hundred dollars per month to start which can ramp up to double or triple that over the course of the year if things go well. This work DOES REQUIRE signing a confidentiality agreement to protect our proprietary information and that of our advisory clients. This is a "works for hire" arrangement which means we don't stipulate how, when or where you do your work so it is not an "employee" relationship. More information about our company can be found at www dot research2zero dot com. ALL APPLICATIONS should be sent by email to JOBS at RESEARCH2ZERO.COM]]>

<![CDATA[EXCEPTIONAL BOOK EDITOR SOUGHT: RE-WRITE ASSEMBLER, ARCHITECT AND MASON I am looking for a very good editor. Depending on the project, the ideal candidate would also have to do some drafting; the work might involve writing up results of archival or (a small amount) of statistical research. Some supplementary research may be needed, which may or may not be available on line, but is not a necessary part of the editor's work; I can conceivably contract with someone else for that. All told there is a lot of work. I have several book-length manuscripts, in various stages of incompletion, and in addition I have two projects to which I am currently devoting my main attention. Therefore I am looking for someone who will work for me but not necessarily at all times with me. Which puts a premium on initiative, and an ability to generate alternative proposed solutions to problems. My principal aim is to finish with these projects, and along the way to produce something coherent and, with luck, reasonably good. As regards qualifications considered relevant in some free-lance editors' own advertisements, I too have had one of those elite educations, I also have a post-graduate degree and I have published a certain number of articles in professional, peer-reviewed journals. To proceed, we would agree on some kind of short-term contractual arrangement to see how our skills, styles of work and writing, and effectiveness might mesh. Please send a resume that includes education and work history, ordered chronologically; and please also address: how often you have worked in a similar capacity and on what; non-fiction authors you like or admire; your rates ("rates" does not mean all that you're really worth, but the rates you actually get when you are working. Defining a range for different work is okay, but please do not simply put "negotiable"); how far into the future you could conceivably commit to working on a project or projects; why a smart person and gifted editor like you has been living by means of such insecure employment, if you are; and the types of references and/or written work you would provide if we think further about the prospect of working together. ]]>
