Please NOTE:
1. I take the process of hiring someone very seriously. It can have a major impact on
my business ventures and can potentially offer stability for your online working
career.

2. I don’t usually repeat something I’ve put in writing. However, this is important.
I’m seeking someone who is looking for a long term, part time position.

I know people are at different stages in their career. I’m NOT looking for someone
who just wants to try it out or is looking at it as free training and a stepping stone to
something better in a few months time.

If that’s you, please don’t respond to this posting or participate in the interview
process.

3. This is step one of a three step process. Be aware that there will be 2 more steps
to complete prior to my hiring decision. You must complete all steps to be
considered.
