Don’t Know What You Got….Till It’s Gone!!

don%e2%80%99t-know-what-you-got%e2%80%a6-till-it%e2%80%99s-gone

For those of you that can remember this ballad from famed rockers Cinderella, there has never been a moment in my recent memory that this rings truer…..especially when it comes to the job market.

As I am searching for several available positions within ProspectMX it brings reality into the fact that there are tons of good people looking for a career and would be happy with a job. Skilled people are working at places they would not have even dreamed of stepping into as a customer over a year ago. That person bagging your groceries could very well be someone with a Doctorate in Electrical Engineering. Now speaking to all of you with a job, position, career…..these out of work skilled individuals are waiting for you to “screw up” so they can slide right into your position. They are not intentionally stalking you and your position however, employers are realizing the overwhelming amount of talent that is available in the current market and will not be tolerating employees that give a sub par performance as they would have in the past.

So if any of you employed individuals are thinking the “grass may be greener” on the other side and you are not giving your position 150% you may want to consider all of the unemployed individuals waiting for that opporunity you may give them. After all, it may take many of you to realize what you had…..after you lose it?!

We’re Looking To Add Some Talented People To Our Team

were-looking-to-add-some-talented-people-to-our-team

So… we’re growing.  Like, really fast.

With growth, comes the need to add to the team.  To fulfill the needs that we have right now, we are looking for a few talented individuals to help us out.  We are in great need of two Link Architects. Now, if you’re thinking of applying for this position, make sure that you are comfortable working in a youthful, high energy, daily changing environment and have an incredible sense of humor.  Without those traits, you’ll hate working here.  When we say this, we are serious.  You will probably be shot with nerf guns, have very odd things thrown in your direction (never anything painful) and be a victim of inter-office pranks from time to time.

Work Hard… Play Hard…

But don’t think it’s just fun and games.  We expect our people to work even harder than they play.  Late hours at the office, weekend work and early morning meetings are expected from time to time if we have deadlines that need to be met.  So you have to be dedicated and focused.

We Have All The “Trimmings”

Before we get to the details of the positions, you should know that health insurance, a retirement account, profit sharing program and a bunch of other cool stuff is available with us as well… once you’re employed with us for a specific time.

Link Architect

So here’s the deal with our link architects. You’re given a keyword phrase and a web page. Your job is to go about finding sites to link to us from all over the internet. We teach you how to find the sites to get links from, but you have to use your personality and drive to contact all of those websites (hundreds) and negotiate getting them to link to our client sites. The job sometimes requires negotiating with website owners, attending networking events to build relationships, participating on forums, blog commenting and more.

It’s a really tough job, and lazy people need not apply. Lots of cold calling, business sense and marketing creativity required.

With that said, a link architect needs to have general html knowledge, and a vast understanding of how to use tools like Google and yahoo.

Those who desire the position of an SEO Engineer will often start in the Link Architect Position.

So if you’re into all this stuff, upload your resume. But please don’t waste our time or yours if you are expecting a 9 - 5 job. We can’t stand “short cut finding clock punchers” here. We give a lot of freedoms, but expect extremely hard work.
