BCP Jobs: Writer, English Language
Forbes Calamity Prevention needs a top-flight writer of English. We're hoping to develop relationships with a contractor with whom to have a long-term arrangement. Not full-time, but regular part-time. What we need written: business continuity plans, studies and reports for clients, project proposal narratives, exercise summaries and recommendations. If you can also contribute items to our newsletter and blogs, swell! Some demonstrated interest in business continuity, crisis management or emergency response would be a selling point. How well you write English is the key criterion; our director, Nathaniel Forbes, is American, is a writer, has been a journalist and was an English major at university. He's the judge. Where you are located is not important; we're accustomed to working online across time zones, so you can work at home in Oklahoma or on the beach in Bali. For this job, dressing for success may mean shorts and flip-flops. Assignment: send something captivating to Nathaniel Forbes. Need inspiration? Read some of Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts. Ineffably lyrical prose.
Need help but can't afford a full-time BCP professional? We outsource qualified BCP professionals for as little as one (1) day or two (2) days per week on contract.
