A decent group of gigs today, although people might take the time to write better job ads…
And on that note, your job tip’ o the day is: Location specific gigs might be suitable for telecommuters, but if you don’t ask you won’t know. I posted at least 5 gigs today that were super vague about location. These are jobs that could be done remotely, but maybe they want on site. Sometimes, jobs that state a location may not find someone they like and could be willing to take on a telecommuter. In my opinion, it never hurts to contact a location specific gig and see if they’d hire a telecommuter. UNLESS the job states one of the following:
- Must be able to attend meetings.
- Must supervise/work with the on-site team.
- So and so candidates ONLY!
- Needs to interview local sources in person.
When gigs state the above, it’s a good bet they’re not up for remote writers. But otherwise it never hurts to ask.

Fab listings today.
Thanks Jennifer!!!!
I’m beginning to believe what others have said about Blerp.com — that they have no intention of hiring – they ask you to complete a series of actions on their site as a test – but then no one I know has ever heard from them again. Are they simply using a job ad to up the content on the site?
Has anyone ever been hired by these guys?
Cynthia – I have no clue about them. I’ve seen the listing twice, but don’t know about who they’ve hired (if anyone). I do know I would never do actions at a site as a test, and that’s totally lame, so thanks for the heads up. If I see them again, I won’t post them.
I’ve heard the same. I just “applied” and I’ll post if I hear anything back.
