If you have been following my posts, you know that one of
the things I recommend WAH newbies to do is to create lists about what you have
to offer the world. Your passions,
hobbies, and interests can actually land you a paying gig.
Today’s post is about an opportunity with Tmber. This
is an opportunity that hikers, bikers and adventure seekers can sink their
teeth into. The opportunity is to write
trail guides. This is a short-term writing
position that will pay per route at an hourly rate and some incentives. They do require a college degree or equivalent
work experience, two years of writing experience, samples, organizational
skills, experience with Excel, experience with Google Drive, knowledge of
online map services, detail orientated, accomplish your tasks without a great
deal of supervision and deadline orientated.
If you think that this describes you, then be sure to apply ASAP as this
position may not last long. To apply,
send the following items in an email to Daniel:
your resume, relevant writing sample, any links to your online writing, and “Last,
as we'll be expanding beyond hiking, tell us which three of these you're most
familiar with: hiking, backpacking, trail-running, snow-shoeing, cross-country
skiing, kayaking/canoeing, stand up paddling, mountain biking” (pulled right
from their website).
Pros-
- Hourly pay
- Possible Incentives
- Growing company
Cons –
- Short-term contract position
- No details on payment methods and other important details
This can be a great position for someone that loves the
outdoors, and is looking to make some money doing what they love. Be sure to apply quickly as this type of
position may not stay open for long.
