Help Wanted
CIT is doing well, we need help. Our little company currently is me full time and 2 of my daughters, very part time. My daughters
have their own full time jobs and can't give me as many hours as I would like so it is time for the company to grow. First, what do I
need help with?
I provide basic SEO services to all my customers and enhanced services to a few. For the basic customers, that is a yearly update and a seasonal
change to their website, nothing that a computer literate person can't learn to do in an hour. For the enhanced customers I do more but again, it
is nothing a computer literate person can't learn to do in an hour.
I occasionally need help with video recording and production. I have 2 cameras and sometimes my daughters can't help me with the 2nd
camera. Training someone to edit video is going to take weeks, but loading the tapes into a computer, burning DVD's, creating Flash
Video, printing lables and case inserts is all low-tech work that any most computer literate people can learn to do in a few hours.
I need help with maintaining the products for some of my eCommerce customers. Not all of them have the skills necessary to find
a picture on the internet or take it themselves, edit the picture in Photoshop and get the picture and description uploaded into the database
so it shows up in the client's store. This is a little more challenging so it might take a day per customer to become proficient.
I need someone with good HTML skills to handle the simpler website pages. I have no problem providing the training, so this is a
nice-to-have, not a requirement.
OK, that's the easy part. Now for the real qualifications:
- I need someone I can trust. Someone who does what they said they would do, on time and with careful attention to detail.
- I need someone my customers will trust. Sincerity and a smile go a long way.
- I need someone who is presentable and won't scare the customers. Someone who inspires respect.
- I need someone who wants to get rich the honest way, by delivering value.
- I need someone with genuine artistic ability. A graphic artist or designer is ideal.
Now for the rules:
I am not looking for an employee. Governments have made it practically impossible for a small company like mine to go from 1 person
to one person plus an employee. I am looking for an independent contractor who owns their own business and has other customers or
another part time job. This independent company thing is a lot easier than most people think, and there are real advantages
to owning your own company. I know, because that is how I do business. It is not difficult or expensive to form a 1-person LLC.
What I can provide:
- The tools, computers and software and if necessary a quiet place to work.
- The customers.
- Advice and support.
