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 ) which will form part of your working domains.
You

What

- Acquire high
