Asset Management & Recovery: Student Employees ? Hmmmmm

For those of you looking for some marketing or clerical help, now might be the time to contact the local highschool.  In our area, there are advanced business classes that require students to have jobs.  Some classes don't care if you are a burger flipper or copy person and some require that you are involved in some type of business fuction, like marketing.

It just so happens that the local high school here has a class that is required to be involved in marketing of some nature.  Good for me that I am looking for someone to take the position of VP of Direct Mail Labels & Postage.

This sounded like a great opportunity to find inexpensive help as well as provide a learning atmosphere for a student.

Just in case you know of someone looking or want to copy my text for your own outreach to the local schools, I have copied in the criteria I sent to the school.

Thank you for taking the time to speak with me this afternoon. I am looking for an intern or part time employee to assist me with clerical / office activities with an emphasis on global marketing efforts for my company. This would be a 10hr./wk position with students working 2 +/- hrs. per day or splitting the time M - W - F. Some of the work may be unsupervised.

Primary Function - Assisting with outreach to clients and prospective clients utilizing direct mail and internet based applications. Thoughts on expansion and upgrade of current methods would be welcomed.

Secondary Function - Potential to assist with design and implementation of asset (real estate and business equipment) liquidation marketing plans. This includes print media, online media, press release and media relations.

Other - As an aide to the company owners, an opportunity will exist to learn about contracts, lending practices of commercial lenders, commercial loan defaults, court ordered recovery actions, real estate brokerage, auctions and asset valuations.

The person interested in this position would need to be detail oriented and understanding of, and adherent to, deadlines. They must be able and willing to take direction and, within parameters, make decisions and move ahead based upon reasonable judgment. Much of the primary function will be similar from day to day, however when new and complex projects arise there will be opportunity to work in an extremely fast paced and challenging environment.

As this is both an employment opportunity and a learning opportunity, part of the application process will be for the candidate to negotiate their own compensation.

I have attached a PDF bio and company brochure for applicants to review.

Thank you again for providing this information to your students.
