JOB OPENING

FT, on-site SEO Copywriter

Where: Skokie, IL (just outside Chicago, accessible by CTA)

I'm the lead copywriter for an integrated marketing agency that specializes in web marketing. We're looking for an experienced SEO copywriter who can write blog posts, press releases, miscellaneous web content and print collateral. You absolutely have to have professional experience writing for the web (preferably SEO), and you have to be able to write for a very wide variety of clients -- our clients range from esoteric heavy industry and B2B groups to consumer products.

As far as SEO copywriting jobs go, this is one of the better ones out there -- we're not a content farm, and we're not a copy sweatshop.

Email me for a link to the job listing. I can't tell you how much this job pays, because I honestly don't know. I also can't do any favors, because I'm on the department's hiring committee, so really, the best I can do is point you toward the job listing. I can say for sure, though, that we're a smaller agency and that it's a junior level position. So Mad Men it ain't, but hey, we're good people.

But I've never done this. I'm not saying I'm particularly interested in the position as I love my current English-y job, but I'm just saying there might be other recent grads out there who are in the same boat where they're willing to learn, but you're coming off as not willing to teach the nuances of SEO, etc.

Also Skokie's kind of ghetto

tvb posted:

Applications go through other departments before they get to mine, and if they don't have SEO experience, they don't make it far. I'm only trying to save people time and effort.

Besides, there are plenty of things I'm willing to learn, but a salaried position isn't the place to learn them.

Lowness 72 posted:

Is this specific to writing/your industry?

That seems like quite the myopic viewpoint regardless.

tvb posted:

The idea that a person must have certain experiences and skills to qualify for a job is not exactly unusual.

tvb posted:

Specifically, SEO copywriting like we do is basically content marketing. We handle content and SEO writing projects for our clients, which means writing projects like blogs, white papers, etc. Think of it like ghostwriting, because you have to create content as the client, so to speak. This alone probably sounds simple, but when you add search engine optimization into the mix, it gets pretty complicated.

Lowness 72 posted:

It just came off as "you need these skills and experience. We will not teach you."

If everyone took that approach, no one would ever learn. It's fair to expect job qualifications. But to say a salaried position is not a place to learn... That just doesn't make sense to me.

Efexeye posted:

Yeah, but (I speak from experience, I run the SEO department at a large marketing agency) you can teach a good writer the SEO fairy dust part in a day. It's much more important that someone be a competent user of English than have specific experience in SEO. You guys are making hiring harder than it has to be, I think.

I wasn't sure if I should post because I'm not the hiring manager or anything, but I'm guessing that such jobs are pretty rare and it's good to put the word out because how often do they show up?

The company I just started working for is hiring an Archaeologist 3 and Biologist 2. Job location is in Ridgecrest, CA which I think is up by China Lake, north of Edwards Air Force Base.

Link is here.

For both jobs I think you'll be doing site assessments (like before construction or other work is done) for either endangered species and habitats for the Biologist and human remains/settlements/artifacts for the Archaeologist.

If you are qualified for one of these positions (they require degrees and experience) let me know by PM and I'll see about putting in a reference.

EDIT: If Archaeologist jobs are common or something, I can take this down.
