NY event photo job, Photographer job
The starting compensation is $10/hour introductory. Once you've done 5 parties you will be raised to $12/hour, with further potential for raises and bonuses. Your payable hours will start when you get to the office to pick up the equipment and end when you return to drop equipment off, therefore you WILL BE PAID for your time traveling to and from the events. The vast majority of our events are on weekends and it is very unlikely you will ever be asked to work a weekday. This industry is somewhat seasonal and thus some months will have higher job volumes than other, but our current average is 9 parties / month. While you will not be working every one of these we will have you on as many as scheduling will allow.
The position we are currently hiring for is Customer Service / Photographer.
In this position it will be your responsibility to:
1. Answer any questions guests may have about the service.
2. Take the guests picture.
3. Frame the pictures as they come out.
4. Provide an overall positive and happy experience that the guests will have while at our station.
Sound like something you'd be interested in doing? We certainly hope so!
The requirements we have for this position are:
1. Must have an energetic, friendly and outgoing demeanor - you will be the face of our company at the event and the reflection of the company, and providing a positive look and feel is of paramount importance!
2. Must be able to maintain a calm and level head in chaotic situations - it can occasionally get somewhat hectic at parties so we definitely need someone who can keep their cool if the guests turn a little wild!
3. Must have a working knowledge and some experience with digital photography and photo cameras - you do not need to be Ansel Addams but we do need someone who will be comfortable and know what they're doing when taking the pictures!
4. Must be comfortable working both in a team and on their own - you will be part of a two man (or woman) team at the event and must be able to perform both in conjunction with your team-mate as well as display initiative when needed!
5. Must have a car - the majority of our jobs are in NJ, LI or upstate NY (yes of course you'll be compensated for your travel!) and thus you will need a way to travel to the job site! Please if you do not have cars do not respond to this posting and waste both our times.
6. Any computer/ Photoshop knowledge is a plus!!
Does this sound like you? We certainly hope so!
If it does, send as an email, including your resume and a recent photo, to BenAbel@MaxsPictureThis.com and introduce yourself.
If you do not hear back from us immediately please understand that we get flooded with resumes but will definitely make sure we get back to everyone in a timely fashion!

Writing job, remote home furniture writer needed
Writing job, remote home furniture writer needed
We are looking for an experienced blog writer to create “all new and original” content for our site Furniture Fashion found @ www.furniturefashion.com . We will need 2 posts per day for a total of 60 a month. Our budget is set for $10 US dollars per post and we want the articles to range in length from 150-300 words depending on the subject matter and information available. The articles and images will need to be uploaded and scheduled on to our Word Press control panel. We want factual information on the products we review to attract people doing research and looking to buy these home furnishing related items.
1. Only cover products that can be purchased. No prototypes, drawings, models etc. Include pricing, sizes and links to places where items are for sale where applicable.
2. All original products and stories. We expect you to browse for new products and write the story. We do not want to cover products that were just blogged about on other blogs. There is no need to follow other blog feeds unless you are searching for new product retailers as information sources.
We make a strong effort to pay very close attention to really good SEO standards including tagging, titling, long tail keywords, and keyword saturation with a main goal of increasing site traffic and advertisement sales. Our goal is to have at least 2 pictures per post (more is even better) with a max size of 500 px wide. The images have to be High Quality and Great Looking!!
Our focus is to cover products people look for on the internet to do research on and BUY! We already employ a writer on the site to cover a wide subject matter but your position will be different so don’t use all of the current content as an example of what you will be doing. We cover every type of product available so you may do a story on a baby high chair one day, and sofa the next, followed up by the latest technology in Bar Be Que Grills after that. If it has a "price tag" and goes in anywhere inside or outside of a home, apartment, or a commercial business setting, we need it on the site.
We cover the most Iconic pieces from renowned designers and architects that are part of the design world’s “establishment”, to the most cutting edge products from the up and coming designers of the day. We will provide a long list of the “types of products” we will need to cover but you are certainly not limited to these.
** These are the type of stories we want to focus on. Single items described by Long Tail Keywords available for sale**
The Long Tail Keyword should include 4 basic elements. ** Example to first link below **
• Manufacturer = Grand Hall
• Style = Modern
• Category = Gas Grill
• Descriptive Term = Infrared

Freelance Blogger job, paid monthly by pageviews
We’re looking for a few good bloggers for an up-and-coming CBS Interactive site: SmartPlanet.com.
Note that these aren't internships -- these are paid freelance gigs, with bylines.
The beats in question: design (industrial, process, product) and architecture (LEED, automation, etc.). If you love reading GOOD or Dwell or Fast Company and enjoy watching TED videos, this gig's for you.
Specifically, we’re looking for an intellectually curious Jack or Jill of all trades that can riff on new projects, talk some business if needed and, most importantly, find us smart people -- designers, architects, thought leaders -- to interview from various industries and circles of expertise.
The gig: Give us at least one post a day with a good mix of curation (quick bites on the day's news) and original reporting (Q&As, profiles, event coverage and the like).
The test: Pick three interesting items or people in the news and blog them with voice, accuracy and a dash of showmanship. (Please, no more than 500 words each.) Then email them to editor Andrew Nusca (andrew.nusca@cbsinteractive.com).
