Afternoon Bonus: Deb Needs a Change of Scenery

Not to take anything away from the incredible Jodee, without whom I may have had to close up this blog, but I’ve kind of been missing trolling for job leads lately. I used to do it for relaxation (yeah I’m sick) and bring the results here to you, but then I became to busy. Anyway, today I decided to troll to see what’s out there and decided to bring some of the goodies to you. I hope none of them are repeats as Ms. Jodee is very thorough (which is why she gets all the coffee and Google money).

Leads…

Thanks for indulging me, I may do this again from time to time now that school’s starting.
Good luck!

Deb

    For the Expert Proofreader gig, has anyone ever gotten work from csean2@gmail.com????

    I remember applying a long time ago but the process seemed odd. If he has hundreds of responses each time he posts the ad, is it possible not to have plenty of people to choose from when you need a proofreader? Just wondering.

    I applied to the Expert Proofreader posting before and never received a reply. I even read the listing several times to make sure that I was complying with all demands so my response would not be relegated to the slag heap. No luck. I crossed my fingers and applied again today because it looks like a good assignment.

  5. Who is Sean? Says:

    I did some research and Sean also posts Proofreader ads under ssc1987@aol.com (Philadelphia, Phoenix, SF Bay, St. Louis) and under jackets83@gmail.com (Honolulu). I’m not sure if this ad phishes for e-mail addresses so be careful.

    Maybe Sean is very picky? LOL.

    PS: The weekly blogger job post has been filled - the client emailed me back to say that.

    That is so funny! It’s good to know that I’m not the only (sick) one, ha ha ha. Yes, indeed, I too shall admit — right here, right now — that I also cruise the ads for relaxation after the days deadlines are done.

    I feel better now.

    Thanks for everything Deb and Jodee!

    Best Regards,

    Sharon Secor

    I applied to the Expert Proofreader gig (csean2@gmail.com) and got a response with a proofreading test attached. I completed the test (which wasn’t that hard — or so I thought) and never received a reply from him. His listing specifically states that you are not to send follow-up e-mails because they don’t have time to respond to all of them. So I guess I’ll chalk it up to a phishing e-mail to save my shattered ego….

    Adrienne,

    I had the same experience and, yes, it does seem a little too convenient that his rules of application keep the applicants from making too much noise.

    I would think that unless some credible evidence is brought forward to prove that this is a legitimate employer it seems to be he should be placed on some kind of Scam List on this blog. Like the heads of executed criminals placed on spikes along London Bridge, to serve as a warning for all newcomers on what to avoid.
