Looking for an Assistant in Seattle
Lockergnome (and Gnomedex, vicariously) is looking for an intern / assistant to help us with various and sundry tasks related to the operation of our activities. We’re looking for qualified individuals immediately, and only Seattle-area “locals” need apply.
Looking for someone who can…
- Begin and complete most tasks from home
- Remain completely self-motivated
- Keep an open schedule over the coming months
- Handle basic computer and Internet-centric tasks
- Help us with our organizational efforts
- Drive “around town” on errands if need be
- Be online while working (via instant messenger)
- Take direction and run with a project
- Manage time effectively in an unstructured environment
- Form a complete, grammatically-adequate sentence
- Retain extreme attention to detail and task tracking
Not required, but extremely beneficial if you have…
- Conference operations experience
- Intermediate to advanced “computer skills”
- Graphic and/or Web design, programming abilities
- Some kind of sales background, offline or online
- Familiarity with blogging and/or the tech industry
- Any extraordinary talents that might help us
And yes, we’ve already started looking on Craigslist. I’d rather not deal with a temp agency, either. If you want, you can fire me a detailed email (chris@pirillo.com) and we can take it from there. Looking to fill this position sooner rather than later; compensation will likely be hourly with miscellanous benefits.

An ounce of relaxation is better than a pound of therapy. Enjoy your life while you’ve got it. This is a great stress-buster. Cheap (well it’s free. Fees may apply) and effective!

I did conference planning for 3 years for a hospital chain planning & implementing professional educational conferences twice a year for each hospital, in addition to my other responsibilities in the Marketing Department. You get what you pay for, so I hope that you are going to pay this intern; considering how important Gnomedex is, you want professional level skills, which may not rest with a volunteer. An exception might be somebody who has demonstrated skills, has done this in the past(paid or unpaid) and will use this experience with you and Ponzi as a bridge to get back into the workplace. Gnomedex is too important to you & Ponzi to have an amateur screw it up.

Chris:
I am very interested in hearing about the assistant position you have open. I am currently working for Seattle Lighting in the IT dept. I am learning network administration, I am still a few credits short on my AAAS degree but working on it. So far I have my A+ certification and am going for the Microsoft 70-290 managing Server 2003 right now.
This job of yours sounds great but I would like to know some more about it. I live in Shoreline and grew up in Seattle so I know my way around. I am comfortable working on computers and eager to learn more.
Please let me know what the job requirements and pay are. I am very interested.

Whoever you pick I hope they are a newbie!! I think grabbing an intern from the local university is a good idea.
