I’m looking for someone to recreating my website based partially on my vision, but grounded in the site’s necessities.  This help could come in the form of an internship, or side project.   Though I have a vision for the site, I’m not a web-based type of businessman.  Therefore, I don’t know how long it would take to create or what skill level it would take.  

Basically, I need it to be visually cleaner.  It doesn’t need to have bells-and-whistles on it (thought it would be nice).  But, it needs to position the things that are vital to our business in a much more assessable way.  It also needs to be built in a way in which updates (text and photos) can be made by me or anyone on my staff (in other words, some one who doesn’t really understand coding—but has a grasp of up-and-downloading).

 I think the general needs could easily be accomplished by someone who can build sites within days.  It would be great to work with someone who can make sure we can self-maintain and sustain it with a web-building guru.  For, I think s/he would have time to add a few bells and whistles (flash / animation).  

Yet, as a former high school English teacher, I like to work with students.  I see a value in allowing students to learn, grown, build practical experience(s) within their passionate major—as well as build their resume/portfolio.  I’d like to share that vision with a motivated UW student and allow him/her to take my vision and add their own creativity into the site.

I’d be more than willing to come down and chat with interested students regarding our website.

Leslie Sierra, Creative Director / Production Coordinator of
Sierra Design Solutions desires to close the gap in my design team and offerings to my clients with a part-time employee. She writes:

What I need is someone who:
1) can stay in touch and respond to email within 8-24 hours (1 day)

2) can provide quick turn around or can give timetables and keep them

3) Understandsa nd generates HTML email ...
What I'm needing/wanting to focus on is HTML email. In launching email marketing campaigns I'd like someone who knows HTML enough to help me figure our how to design these from "scratch" - so we can offer custom layouts, not just the templates these services provide.

All 3 of the services I've signed up for offer templates, but 2 of the 3 allow greater freedom in designing your own. (There is also a way to do this w/Constant Contact, but the advantage of these other 2 is no CC logo on your emails.)

There's a way to convert from PDF ... Photoshop and Illustrator are also options. I believe the main part is telling it where to find the images - slicing and hyperlinks - I just haven't had time to look into it. (I've done this on web sites, but it's not something I do daily, so the time it takes me -vs- someone who does it regularly ...)

Also, along w/ these I need to be able to offer designing/redesigning/upgrading websites. The idea behind the email campaigns is to drive traffic to the client web site. So we need a "landing page" that would be the "full" story or details from the email so the emails can be concise.

Many of my clients have websites that have been "forgotten" and need to be upgraded or completely overhauled. A few have already mentioned their desire to hand this off to us. So it could be starting from scratch to maintaining or anything in between.

There is a LOT to read and research. It'd be nice to have another brain to share this with - or better yet, someone that knows it so I can hand off to them.

I will most likely end up using all 3 of the email campaign services I've sign up with to be able to offer clients various levels of service/price points. I also need to work out what those price points and service levels will be ... so I need to get a web programer on board so I know what their expectation will be so I can price accordingly.

Please let me know if this is something you would be interested in.

·         Shoot about 8-10 interviews with employees (some are senior, GM-level employees). We will identify interviewees and we will be the one drafting and asking the questions. We will also be the ones coordinating with their schedules.

·         Edit the interviews. The final product is a 1-1.30 min. video that will be uploaded onto our internal website. The video should be very sleek, energetic, fast-paced, innovative, catchy and engaging but at the same time, it should be something that Microsoft executives would not take offense from.

 

If the partnership pushes through, this would be the first among many more projects. We could definitely discuss this in detail. If you have some samples of works  that we could look at, that would be great.

 

We are hoping to finish this project by end of August so we could have it on our site by September 1st.

 

If you have questions, please feel free to contact me. Best way to reach me is through email.

 

Thanks and looking forward to your response.

Are you interested in a consulting opportunity in health care management that will utilize your business, scientific, and entrepreneurial skills?  The Institute of Translational Health Sciences (ITHS), headquartered within the University of Washington School of Medicine, is looking for a summer intern to develop a business plan for the clinical research operations at the Institute!

This internship offers a tremendous opportunity to study the complexities of a multi-institute enterprise while improving the health research environment at the UW and partner institutions. The final deliverable will be a customized business plan outlining an infrastructure for health research that results in significantly improved collaboration, communication, and education.   Since ITHS is a complex organization with numerous stakeholders, the challenge will be to identify suitable best practices in communication, management, and education.  This business plan will be written to the satisfaction of the National Institutes of Health (by whom the Institute is funded) and will ensure that the expertise of the various faculty, outside collaborators, and consulting services is used most effectively.

The business plan will outline a five-year and ten-year strategic plan/set of accomplishments for the Institute including detailed timelines. To accomplish this, the business plan will analyze the target market(s) and competitive strengths of the Institute.  It will include an evaluation of the current service market and recommendations of how to offer new services successfully or whether to remain serving markets under the current translational model.

In evaluating the management structure and how it might be improved for efficiency and productivity, the business plan will recommend ways to establish communication channels across the Institute that allow ease of information flow among internal and external stakeholders.

This internship offers the opportunity to work with the faculty leaders of the ITHS, as well as the "to be hired" ITHS Director, in developing the business plan.  The intern will interact with many levels of management within the UW and have access to many University collaborators and to the individual expertise within the Institute.
The ITHS consulting internship will be 30 hours a week, from June 16 through August 22 (dates negotiable) and will pay $8,000.  Please email your resume and cover letter describing what you could bring-in terms of background experience and interest-to getting the ITHS enterprise off the ground.  As this fellowship is highly competitive and requires a diverse skill set, all University of Washington MBAs and graduate students/post-docs with entrepreneurial interests are eligible to apply.
Email all application materials to Lauren Witt, lwitt@u.washington.edu, by Friday, April 25 at 5 p.m.

COMMERICAL RADIO PROMOTER; TALKSHOW BOOKER; VENUE BOOKER:  With the 10-year anniversary of Bryan Farrish Radio Promotion, we are now
seeking a part-time in-house commercial regular-rotation promoter.
$25/hr, plus charting bonuses that frequently add up to $35/hr.  25
hours per week is needed to begin with, Monday through Friday, and as
we become busier there will be more hours available, up to full time.

At least 2 years record promotion experience is needed (indie or
label). Knowledge of MB, BDS, R&R and FMQB a must.  Will primarily be
promoting independent and unknown artists of all genres and formats to
small and unrated commercial regular-rotation stations, and may also
help with the promotion of specialty or mixshow spins on major and
medium market stations.  Note, however, that you should have
experience promoting commercial rotation, not just non-comm, mixshows,
pools or street.

In addition to airplay promotion, you will also be helping with the
booking of non-music telephone guests on both talk and music stations.
People such as independent and unknown writers, public speakers,
consultants, and website owners.

Lastly, we have recently added venue booking (for bands) as a
promotion that we offer.  So you will also get to call small clubs,
bars, restaurants and coffee shops to set up gigs for our booking
clients.

Record Promotion experience is a priority though, as it is more
complex than gig-booking or talk-interviews.  All-in-all, you will be
spending your time roughly one-third each on airplay, interviews, and
booking.

You must work from our Santa Monica office (all work is by
phone/email)... no out-of-office or travelling work.  Must currently
live in Los Angeles area (no relocations are offered).  Shifts are
very flexible and currently available from 9am to 7pm.  As we become
busier we may be opening at 8am or 7am.  Good typing is needed, at
least 40 wpm (yes we will need to test it).  You will be doing a lot
of emailing, and putting info into reports, so getting it done quickly
gives you more time on the phone.  Position is employee status, not
independent contractor.

Applications are taken by phone only at 310-998-8305 x98.  No walk
