I’d like to tell you about an opportunity that may be of interest to you. I have four nice quiet offices and I would like to fill them with four persuasive writers; but there’s a catch—I don’t have any work for you…or do I?
My name is Lonny Kocina and I own Kocina Branding & Marketing Companies.
Right before the economy went south, I moved our internet department out of four small offices and into six larger offices on the other side of the building. I anticipated that I would fill those offices in short order with additional hires for our PR or event businesses. Like most people, I was caught off guard by the rapid decline in business so those offices have been sitting empty.
The other day, I had two related topics on my mind; How could I fill those offices and how could I create jobs for people who don’t have them?
It occurred to me that within our extensive client and prospect database, there is probably enough writing work to keep several writers busy.
So I was thinking; maybe there are some ambitions writers out there who would like to try and flush some writing projects out of our databases.
I don’t have the details completely figured out, but I would like to start interviewing some writers and see if we can creatively find a job for you here.
The money would be skinny at first so if you need a big salary, you’ll need to look somewhere else. But if you are in a position where you can weather a few lean months, maybe this could turn into a nice career writing job for you.
If you are interested in visiting our company and talking with me, I’d like to hear from you. The first step is to call Cynde Bock, Human Resources at 612-798-7218 or email her at cbock@mediarelations.com. She will set up a time for you to come out and discuss this with me.
You can get a good feel for our company by visiting our website at www.publicity.com
and viewing the short video on the homepage. Also, check out my video on our Facebook Fan page where I share more about this opportunity.
I look forward to hearing from you.
