Associate Technical Writer
About the Job
United Way is willing to offer a student a $475 stipend to design a graphic they could use for a new program they are creating as they just won a large federal grant. Additionally, they need a website built for this program as well. Again, they are willing to offer a stipend to a student who builds the site for them. They are looking to have a graphic by the end of January and a website very shortly thereafter.

Strong Writers with Pleasant Personalities Needed
I own an executive recruiting firm (my website is www.cb-asso.com) that specializes in helping local governments (cities and counties, primarily) find key executives. Part of our work involves interviewing references and preparing a summary of the conversation. I am writing to you because I know Weber has a strong technical writing program and that is the kind of people I am looking for.
The work is reasonably interesting and requires someone with a pleasant personality to interview the references and strong writing skills to prepare the summary of each conversation. The staff member must be reliable. Our work is very time sensitive so those who do not meet our deadlines are quickly let go.
All of our staff work from their homes, and while we have deadlines, our staff members have a great deal of flexibility in terms of scheduling the interviews with the references and when they prepare the written summary (which averages one page single spaced).
We pay by the reference and our staff members typically earn between $200 and $1,000 a month. The amount varies and depends on how much time the individual have to devote to the work and how good they are. To the degree possible, we assign the work to the better writers because they require less editing. The staff members are all independent contractors.
Many of our writers are stay at home mothers who want to pick up a little extra money. That is not a requirement, of course. It is just the way it seems to work out.
If you are aware of who might be interested in working with my firm, please have them forward a resume to me at Colin@cb-asso.com. Please also have them use the subject line above so I can quickly separate them from my other email and begin the evaluation. In all, we are looking for three to five new staff members.
Thank you! I do appreciate any assistance you can give us.
Best Wishes,
Colin
