Hidden Techies, I am searching for a smart person who is resourceful at doing web research, has the confidence/poise to do outreach for an invitation-only state-wide political, policy and networking event that NCIIA (http://www.nciia.org) is collaborating to hold in Boston at the end of February. The person would need to start immediately (Tuesday 1/16 ideal), hired as a 1099, and work 15-20 hours a week for about 8 weeks. For more details, see below. If you are interested, or know someone who might be a good fit, please have them send me a cover letter and resume via email. Candidates who email their CV quickly enough might be invited for a half-hour interview either today or tomorrow in my Hadley office. Humera. What am I looking for in a part-time, smart, 1099? 1) Research and compile a database of all target invitees. Database roughly 75% comprehensive; need to get to 97% comprehensive, 2) Conduct phone outreach, 3) Send invitee follow up via email, mail, etc, 4) Assist with any related marketing, PR or pre-event preparation required, including day-of materials, 5) Attend and assist at the event, and 6) After the event, assist in publishing of whitepaper.
