It's True! We NEED Help!

ANN is looking to fill TWO upcoming positions... one as soon as we find the right person and one for early in 2005. ANN is preparing to offer a number of new services and increased coverage... and doing it with the same old crew just isn't going to cut it... we're going to need (more) help! ANN is (first) looking for a solid aero-writer/researcher/editor to handle a demanding work week and occasional special event coverage. 

Yup... Having beaten our current staff black and blue (a good color on a few of them...), it's time for new blood--we're looking for a person to handle a permanent gig, in coordination with our regular news-gnomes. 

The qualified respondent needs the following… SOLID aviation/aerospace writing and journalism credentials/abilities, SOLID photographic/graphic web smarts, Good basic web skills (light HTML know-how and some grasp of photo-editing) and E-Mail skills, a strong work/journalism ethic, and an ability to meet and adhere to tight deadlines;as well as RELIABLE full-time access to a fairly speedy Internet connection (DSL, ADSL, T1, Pipeline to the Almighty, etc...), a computer with the ability to keep up with a number of graphic chores and editorial efforts, and the ability to work with a very strange crew of ANN weirdoes. Since this job is computer based, it does not matter where you live and we are, of course, unconcerned about your workspace so long as the job gets done (and the less info we have about someone working in pink shorts and fuzzy bunny slippers, the better).

The hours are long, the pay sucks, and the management is pretty short on people skills… but you can join an intriguing group of people that are continually setting the aviation news business on its ear and be part of some VERY exciting upgrades and capabilities that are on the fast track for introduction in the coming weeks. Respond with writing samples, background and CV to Help Wanted!

We’re also looking for the following… an experienced webmaster/programmer to help us with a number of new projects. We're going to be dumping a huge amount of work on our normal web-geeks over the next few months and it's high-time that we developed a solid gig for someone else with the skills to help us with a number of other projects that are getting left by the wayside for lack of the assets necessary to pursue them. We need someone with EXTENSIVE ColdFusion/SQL/WinNT/IMail/CMS experience and the ability to do a little bit of everything when the electrons hit the fan. Solid graphics skills would be a BIG plus. Work may be offered on a contract/fee basis OR term contract, depending on the qualifications and availability of the appropriate applicant. To the right person, this is an on-going gig as we have a LOT of projects in the offing and there is enough to provide a competent web-geek a fair bit of income.

Note: ANN will be reviewing resumes and CVs the first week of September... so be sure to get yours in ASAP, so that it gets full consideration!
