Essential Jobs, Careers & Freelance Positions

Jobs, Careers & Freelance Positions
If you've got the skill, knowledge & passion, we've got the interest...

Before you apply...

We are incredibly excited by the company we are building, and we believe it's absolutely unique -- a company totally dedicated to helping consultants, advisors and emerging companies develop the most powerful and compelling messaging in order to brand and build their businesses.

Our goal is to become a worldwide brand ourselves, recognized for our expertise and leadership in core messaging, using the Essential Message approach which has now been proven with hundreds of clients.

Here are the areas where I believe we need the most help. Before you read through them though, take a look at the 7 qualities below that define our culture and spirit.

If you can honestly say they also describe you, then read on...

Work ethic: This is simple. We work hard and we expect you to work hard.
Responsibility and ownership: You know these two go together and you relish the prospect of getting them both. What this means in practical terms is that you are always on top of things, self-motivated and you don't reverse delegate. Of course, it also means you have pride in your work -- and so you should!
Sense of humour: This is a must. (Playful Irreverence is highly valued.)
Intellectual curiosity: You can't be bright and innovative without it. Yes, this may be the cause of a few mistakes, but unquestionably, this is your spark.
Computer savvy: This is one of the keys to our productivity. We make extremely heavy use of technology and Internet tools, so you must be very, very comfortable with that.
Systems-Oriented: Working ad-hoc is for small companies that aren't interested in growth. By implementing systems and documenting processes, you pass on your knowledge and leverage your strengths.
Sales driven: You understand that great salesmanship is part and parcel of great customer service, relationships and value. Everybody sells.

So that said, please take a look at the descriptions below -- and if you feel you could help, please read this entire page carefully and then see at the bottom for information on how to apply.

If you're really interested, by the time you apply, you will have gone through this website, and possibly even subscribed to the newsletter so you really know what you'd be getting into, right?

I hope to hear from you...
