Hello Friends -
Over the past two years Excelon has been slowly building a content development team. You've probably noticed our work at Stickyminds (where we publish an article a week) or on the ITKE blog "Uncharted Waters" where Excelon published two per week. Uncharted waters is routinely in the top five blogs of the week, even though ITKE has twenty-three blogs! (By routinely I mean pretty much every week, except when we appear twice.)
In 2015 we are looking at a content production schedule - blog posts, articles, interviews, whitepapers, possibly some podcasts and vlodcasts - that is intense. The existing team is part-time, and pretty busy with actual work and volunteer work.
We'd like to add people to the fold.
Our ideal candidate has:
(A) A deep understanding of one of these four subject areas: Software Testing, Management, Development, or "Process" with an Agile Flavor.
(B) A willingness to expand to 2 or 3 of those four areas
(C) A willingness to invest some time in writing
(D) A strong personal sense of commitment and dedication
(E) No fear of blank page syndrome
(F) A twitter and G+ account, ideally a personal blog
In other words: You don't need to be a super writer. To some extent, writing is a teachable skill. We can provide development editing support (to help you figure out what to say) and copyediting support (to help you say it.) What we need is people who can stick to a deadline.
This doesn't have to be a ton of work. We could start with an article a month or two.
Yes, you can get started with a stickyminds article. Yes, we need some now. But if you'd like to use the experience to get serious ... it's a good time.
To "apply" send me an email. Let's talk about it.
Merry Christmas.
regards,
