Job: Part Time Afternoon Evening work in Social Networks

This one caught my eye on the Seek.com.au jobs feed on the right hand side of this bloggy. I wonder if it would suit someone who is looking for experience in social networks but doesn’t want to take a 9-5 job in the area yet? Plus it would keep you out of trouble/off Facebook on the weekends.

Casual Producer Online – news and current affairs

• Fast-growing media website
• Sydney based
• Variety of shifts available
• Create and edit news
• Moderate user generated content

Are you a reliable and enthusiastic journalist/producer with online experience and a keen eye for detail? Interested in doing regular work on weekends to increase your income?

We are looking for casual staff to help operate our fast-growing news and current affairs website. A variety of shifts, mostly for weekend and late afternoon/evening work, are available.

For this role, casual producers would create and edit compelling news content for the site, and moderate the site’s blogs and forums.

To be considered you need to have:

• Tertiary qualifications in journalism/communications
• Experience with content management systems for websites
• A strong interest in news and current affairs
• Strong subediting skills: the ability to write accurate headlines and copy

In addition to your tertiary qualifications, one-two years’ practical experience in the media/web industry is a strong advantage as is experience with forum moderation.

This position would suit parents who are returning to the workforce.

You will need to be available for weekend work on a regular basis. (Please indicate your potential availability in your application.)

To apply, send your resume and a cover letter outlining your experience and why you would be the right person for this role (Southern Cross View)

As always, come back here and give us the goss – how totally bad was the interview, how crappy is the salary, what benefits should you ask for, does this lipstick go with this skirt? We’re here to help. And commiserate. And be nosy. Oh, and I’ll prep you for the Forum Moderation bit. I’m good at that. 🙂
