OVERVIEW

OhMyGov has an immediate part-time opening for passionate social media blogger/researcher to contribute to a range of writing, research and training projects. Candidates must possess strong hands-on knowledge of social media and the blogosphere. If you're not already a regular on Facebook or Twitter, you're probably not our person.

JOB DESCRIPTION

Tasks will focus on helping to find innovative social media initiatives and best practices, outlining content, and drafting and distilling materials about social media. Most assignments will be short in nature but will build toward a portfolio of work.

TIME COMMITMENT

A regular part-time commitment of 10-15hrs/wk is expected, with the opportunity for more. 

REQUIREMENTS

• Rising Junior standing or above, majoring in Communications, Journalism, or a related field  (This does not mean we are only looking for college students.)

• Strong interest in social media and new media

• Ability to locate, digest, and sort through information quickly and accurately

• Ability to write quickly and effectively
