The
JAF Blogger Executive Volunteer!
This one is tasty!
Our Balozi Journal Program is looking for a Blogger Outreach Executive to help
with their engagement and outreach. We produce cutting-edge, innovative content
and are in need of a highly sociable person to build the online relationships
necessary to spread the word and seed quality links to support the JAF
strategy.
As the Blogger
Outreach Executive you will be working closely with the creative team, using
editorial judgement as well as working on who sees the content produced.
The company is based in charity but the role is in the content creation branch and will be largely about building relationships online, and is a hybrid between online PR and JAF.
This role is custom
built for a sociable, proactive candidate who is as happy on the telephone as
they are in social media.
This is not a charity
role but a reasonable level of numeracy as well as taking pleasure in
task-solving is a bonus.
This organisation is
smart and it has produced smart internship enterprise; our innovation
is valued from the bottom all the way up. Their mantra is that ‘a good idea is a good idea’.
Here is a great opportunity to work in a gloriously cool office in Kajiado West where innovative content is mixed with cutting-edge diplomacy.

A
bit about us... (since you asked).
We're not like other
recruiters. really, we're not.
A reason for that -
we don't make a penny from placing you. We provide a free service to the market
(and naturally it's free for you too). It means you'll only ever get real
advice from us - we'll never sell to you. It also means that our client base
for entry level jobs is much, much bigger than other recruiters so you'll get
more jobs under one roof (ours).
We send our intern
Matt (www.jauufc.net/meet-matt) into the digital market to act as your eyes and
ears, sharing his experiences and learnings in his blog. There's loads of other
useful stuff on our very own blog as well - have a nose around our Entry-level
pages and you'll find tips on your CV, cover letter, interview preparation, a
glossary and loads more (not to mention our dazzling Digital Agency Star
Chart).
Why?
Good question. It's
about growing our charity network - it's a good way to get to know people like
you who are looking to enter the digital market. It's a pretty small market
once you get in, so it's good for us to know you, to have helped you, for you
to feel like you can trust us
What
of the online sites?
We have a wordpress
blog and a facebook page (www.jauufc.wordpress.com / www.facebook.com/jauufc )
