Forums - General - I'm Looking for An Assistant. Anyone Interested?

Basically, I'd like someone to help with the following:

- Making sure my graphs / charts are consistent. I tend to either not see where they are off or forget to check.

- Proof-reading longer articles.

- It'd be nice to also have someone go through and collect the data I use on VGChartz so that I can focus on data and writing and not so much "collecting". This part of the job is likely short term as Brett is working on VGC Pro tools.

- An optional, but additional benefit would be someone who is fluent in Spanish and lives in Mexico as thats our next big project after I finish up something I'm working on forVGC Pro thats nearly done.

As far as timing and communication - I live in the South West of the USA (New Mexico) and do most of my work at night. For a number of reasons, most of the work would be on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday each week. So if you're in Europe, the timing will likely be difficult unless you have a night job with lots of time in the day. An American, Canadian, Mexican, etc who is a night owl would be ideal. Pay is negotiable but if you help me consistently, you'll certainly get what you deserve once we establish the number of hours.

Wrong section mate :P

You won't get many eyes here.



Maybe you should have posted it in the "website" section instead of offtopic... cause off topic won't appear on the hot topics frontpage.. >_>

ot: I'm already a slave to my gf.. so I can't..

You might have better luck in website or sales discussion? I get the feeling half of the OT regulars don't use the rest of the boards much.

Good luck getting an assistant.



Around the Network

It's not like I wouldn't be interested, but my natural grammar and spelling sucks and proofreading for me usually involves pasting things in word and reading it to make sense. 

I can't speak Spanish. (Though live in Las Vegas)

I am a night owl, but I only have excel right now as far as statistical tools go.  Not sure if you use Excel or SAS or SPSS or whatever. 

On the bright side I do have a background in statistics having completed a bachelors in Psychology, taken business statistics and have done a few quantitative research studies, including leading one. So finding information should be easy, whether it be through the site or through a database but the graph checking does sound more along the lines of just making sure they are consistent on the page then a consistent in methods type thing.

If that works though i'd be glad to help.

(Brutal honesty is always my weak point in these things.)



This type?



I wouldn't mind depending on the amount of time that is required and the pay. I live in Colorado and am a college student with no job currently an I am definantly a night owl. I do not speak Spanish unfortunantly, but I have taken 3 statistics courses for my two majors biology and psychology.I can definantly proof read, as I write way better stuff for school than I ever post on this site.

Basically, I would like to hear more.
