anyone home? advice on project management ad

saulpwanson — Tue, 27 Jun 2006 12:00:07 GMT

This group looks like it's never had much action, but if anyone's still active, I'd appreciate some advice regarding an ad soliciting for a project manager.

Wanted: project management genius in the rough

I'm a software engineer, game designer, and biochemistry enthusiast; a wholistic thinker with a lot of energy, a vivid imagination and sometimes even vision.

I'm looking for an organizational genius to complement my inventive genius, to profit us both. If you have a talent for organizing a creative project and communicating with people, some corporation is probably paying you a reasonable salary, but you are worth far more. While I can't offer a large salary (yet), I am able to offer a broader range of experience and significant project ownership for your incredible talent. You will stretch and sharpen your skills on interesting projects, some of which will likely attract a large audience.

You will
- provide an organizational framework for a project I've already significantly developed, and
- manage my next task queue for the project, providing advice on ordering and priorities.

If you wanted, you could (for more ownership or other compensation):
- contribute creatively to the project,
- coordinate logistics and people, or
- execute a production strategy.

You should
- have a professional reference,
- be passionate about something,
- be comfortable converting content to presentable web pages,
- be able to use office software applications, for document preparation or spreadsheet anaylsis,
- probably live in or near Seattle.

Schmooze factor in recruiting content

Tue, 17 May 2005 01:32:23 GMT

Hi all,
I just got back from a tremendously successful biz trip - among other things, I coordinate the authors for an international journal of Digital Asset Management published by a UK company.

Last week I was in the same hotel with 1000 members of the community we serve and squeeze content out of for the journal. I was really excited that finally my personality could mesh with my career and get me some professional respect.

I found that sales tactics play a large part in recruiting content. I'd make my first contact with people, usually I was already familiar with their name - then I'd go into a sell phase - and then I'd back off a bit and make sure they were really interested. I charmed the hell out of them. I got forty committments to author articles. And it's not-for-pay.

Has anyone else seen the amazing power of the schmooze factor recently?

I
