Be part of an adventure documentary in the making - Wild Passage. To start, we need a logo and/or a website homepage for a documentary in development called Wild Passage. The website front page will help to bring in funds for a full website.

Wild Passage is a one-hour film about a group of teenagers who survive for nearly a month in southern Oregon's remote Three Sisters Wilderness carrying nothing but a blanket and a knife. Is it possible that young people could actually gain something by going back in time before going forward?

Wild Passage is the chronicles a real-life, down-to-earth experience - the intimate interaction of five modern teenagers with the raw forces of nature. Its most powerful statements will be made not through words but through cold winds and thunderstorms, parched lips and growling bellies, close encounters with bears and porcupines - and most likely an unpredictable mix of blood, sweat, laughter and tears.

We have the domain and host but we need time donated on this project. Let me know if you are interested or if you want more information.

I’m bringing on a new client for Azteria that is paying for a dedicated Azteria employee to use our system to recruit to their opportunities. We have been successful for our client where their in-house recruiters haven’t and they are enthusiastic to have someone to delve deeper into call lists for their opportunities. The pay is $30K base with commission that has $100K potential.

I’m looking for a person who is interested in helping to grow the business. Perhaps you’ll know people that are interested in a fun place to work where there is a lot of professional potential. I probably have a month to hire someone.

The position amounts to short term recruiting, but with intelligence, curiosity and passion that will help grow the business and responsibilities long term.

The type of person could be:

• A recent really bright college graduate, maybe working below their potential in a retail environment
• A non-working spouse who has done interesting things professionally before moving to Bend for their spouse’s job.
• Someone who likes positions with a strong commission

The position will include making about 50 phone calls a day with our system. The person will preferably have the temperament and ability to become the trainer/manger for other people to do the same. We sell ‘seats’ to clients and will most likely evolve into a call center-ish type of environment for Healthcare recruiting.

I’m hoping to find someone willing to work in the trenches with me and be able to grow the business. They could easily be someone you like who is a recent, but mature and ambitious college graduate to someone who is very experienced and believes, as I do, that we will become a larger company with financial and professional rewards.

Here’s a link to the job and the description on Craig’s List: http://bend.craigslist.org/bus/575412821.html

Thank you for just considering this and feel free to have people contact me directly.

We currently have limited positions open. We would like to hire driven, committed individuals who can cover as many of these skills as possible. For example, if you are able to take on more than one of the following responsibilities for us we are likely to rank your application more highly! Flexibility is the key. :)

You can read more about Webformix the company at the bottom of this message.

• Priority #1: Site Installer
We need to have as many people on staff as we can who are able to install wireless internet systems on our customers' property, and troubleshoot existing installations.
- ability and desire to work outdoors (climbing on roofs will be commonplace)
- capacity to drive long distances. (40-80 miles per day in company vehicle, seeing 2-4 clients per day)
- proficiency with simple tools (hammer, wrench, screw driver, zip ties, ladders, etc)
- great documentation skills (never miss a step in the process, never miss a form to fill out for an install)
- moderate computer skills at least -- but especially the knack for "making things work". For example, if you can program a VCR (or a TiVo), you have our attention.
- ability to crimp ethernet cable is a plus (easy to learn on the job!)

• Priority #2: Internet Technical Support
We need more people to help us man the phones and address the questions of customers whose internet is not working.
- Good multitasking skills -- you'll need to chat with the client and look up information on a computer at the same time.
- Pleasant, reassuring tone; mild temperment.
- Again, the knack for modeling problems in your head and "making things work" is magic for this position
- Computer skills. We use a web based tool to manage customer relationships and keep our data together.
- Customer commitment!

• Priority #3: sales/marketing skills
We have marketing campaigns, signs, fliers, brochures.. we need a few more man hours per week to help us plan and organize this. Less pressing the flesh but more PR and grass roots presence building.
