Make Your Résumé Stand Out
Here’s a résumé tip that will help you stand out from your competition: do not simply list your roles and responsibilities from previous employments; you should also list your accomplishments qualitatively and quantitatively.
About The Company
You will be working for a startup company that plans to offer web design and development services to small to medium-sized enterprises in the US (primarily).
The company is currently based in Hawaii with plans of opening an office in the Philippines when operational requirements necessitate it. An office in New Zealand is also planned for the future.
Opportunities
In this startup environment, your opinion will be highly valued and regarded. This is a great opportunity for those who are highly dedicated, motivated, and passionate about their careers and want to be recognized for their efforts.
When the need arises, there is a possibility that the company will sponsor qualified employees to relocate overseas.

This is a part time, work-from-home position. You will need to provide yourself with access to a computer, the Internet, and development tools required in the performance of your duties. Our primary means of communication will be via email, IM, and telephone.

(or links to) your work.

The only way that I can see possible for people to be making part time income would be through the Internet.

Kip,
Is it still available?
I am looking for a new field to broaden my horizon a bit and i found this.
Would my 2 years experience as a Medical Transcriptionist qualify to be a Web Copywriter?
I am adept in using the internet, for research purposes, and of using computers but not necessarily have a degree to that.
thanks,
Hey, this is a nice way of helping other people out. Job referrals through blogs!
Now with all of you probloggers and work-at-home people out there inspiring others, it makes me think of being one too. Now, I might apply for this one. Thanks, Yuga!
Haha.
What cha know about the sling box? nothing! Isang Mahal
The Slingbox media device?
Offtopic yata…
What is your opinion of the sling box? I think it is cool… What is your opinion? Isang Mahal
Thanks for the heads-up Yuga & you’re funny Kip. I would have wanted this job, but…
*************** Is there such a thing as a amateur blogger? I want to be the first millionaire blogger. Sitting pretty and blogging away. Isang Mahal. Ain\’t nothing wrong with dreamin right? ……………………………………………………………
The ad posted here is mine and I just wanted to reply to some of the comments posted here.
@1 – Students are more than welcomed to apply for this position. As the ad mentions, “skills and experiences may be used as substitute” for formal education. And yes, I also have an opening for a part time, work from home, ASP.Net developer position. If you are interested, please send in an application to me.
@4 – I am looking for a web copywriter, not a blogger. So, the reference to “problogger” is inaccurate. :)
@5 – You’re right. I am not looking for someone that is a “female, must be single, with long black shiny hair, size 7, 5′5, 22-26.” I prefer women with not-too-long (about shoulder length) hair. :)
Actually, I find those kinds of ads very insulting. Rarely does one’s age, gender, hair color & length, size, height, and age matter when it comes to qualifying to a job. There are times when this does matter, though (e.g. modeling).
These kinds of ads show discrimination and should be outlawed in the Philippines (if it’s not already).
In any case, if you can write to my standards, I couldn’t care less if you were a hermaphrodite, 72 years old, bald, no teeth, sze 12, and married to an orangutan. All I care about is that you can do your job well. Just my $0.02. :)
@4
I think this is just a part-time job so i guest we just call him/her a blogger.
The good thing is they don’t explicitly require a female,must be single,with long black shiny hair,size 7, 5’5, 22-26 yo with min. 4 year experience and must be a graduate of UP,Ateneo,LaSalle :-)
Oh yeah, I remember he does.
Now I have a question, if someone takes on this job, does that make them a Problogger?
Hey. J Angelo also has his own board.
CrunchBoard, GigaOM Jobs… and now… YugaJobs?
How about a job for students like me?
Maybe a web developer or programmer…
Take home job ha.
