Ideal Candidate
Our ideal candidate is someone who is efficient, organized, and able to meet deadlines on a consistent basis. You will need to communicate with writers when deadlines are approaching, and follow up with those who have not submitted their work.

This person is also a strong leader, understands our guidelines, and will work with the writer if they need improvement. They should also examine articles to determine whether they answer the question, do not have fluff, and whether they meet our word count.
