SEEKING BLOG GHOSTWRITER
Description
I am the owner of an internet-based resume writing service and I am searching for a writer to ghost write blog posts for me.
My blog has really been a boring read of articles with very few genuine blog posts. I really just do not have the time/energy/oomph to devote to the project but I feel that maintaining a blog would be a great addition to my web presence.
Qualified applicants will have excellent writing skills, are native English speakers, and will have experience writing for the web. You should be able to proofread your own work using the Gregg Reference Manual or a similar handbook.
You must accept PayPal as your payment option.
Knowledge (and interest) in the following subject areas required:
* Resume Writing
* Cover Letter Tips
* Careers
* HR / Recruiting
Preferences
* Experience writing a blog
* Former HR manager or career writer
* English degree or English Major
* Sense of humor
* Willing to do all communication via e-mail (not IM)
Pay
DOE. We can work this out between us. This is an independent contractor arrangement. I will expect you to bill me via PayPal on the last day of each month and you will be paid within a few days (usually by the 3rd). I hate waiting for money so I won’t make you wait either.
This could later progress into article writing, authoring website content, and other projects under the right circumstances.

Please send your resume, cover letter, writing samples, or whatever you feel is necessary for me to make an informed decision.
Deadline: November 30, 2007.
I would like to apply for this position.

I have forwarded my CV and web addresses for your perusal.

I applied for this since I am currently an HR Manager. I just wanted to say I was very impressed that the potential client let me know she had received my materials and thanked me for applying within less than an hour of me sending out my information to her. Even if I don’t get the gig, I am very impressed with her professionalism and I have no doubt she will be great to work with.
I’ve worked with Jennifer in the past and she’s very professional.
Deb, thanks for letting me post this here!
I thought I’d check in and let you guys know I have had a TON of very talented people apply and it is going to be a very hard decision to make. I also thought I’d answer some FAQs I have been getting.
1. Blog frequency – I am looking for 2-3 posts per week to start.
2. Topics – I will suggest the topics and my blogger will be expected to run with it.
3. Keywords – I really don’t care for “keyword” articles. I’d rather have blog posts that are interesting for humans to read (instead of Google bots).
4. Pay – Pay is negotiable. It’s natural that I want the most for my money but on the flip side of that, I want a HAPPY writer. If you have a pay rate in mind, please tell me. And don’t quote me the minimum you will accept. Instead, quote me what you are comfortable with and what you feel you are worth.
5. Resume/cover letter issues – If your resume will not showcase your strengths, you can write a sample blog post instead. Some of you have expressed feeling intimidated because I am a resume writer. Well, that’s just silly. If people didn’t suck at writing resumes, I wouldn’t have a job lol!
I think that about covers it for now.
