DirectResponseJobs.com This week — 273 companies are looking for writers, designers, and more! Two Spotlight Jobs of the Week Metabolic Living: CALL FOR HEALTH WRITERS Metabolic Living (formerly Natural Health Sherpa) is hiring 2-3 persuasive content / copywriters to write quick, engaging teasers & email content for our membership site, Metabolic Mastery Club (MMC). The job is part-time, approximately 15-20 hours per week. It's most appropriate for an intermediate or early advanced writer, who has serious passion for biohacking, fitness, nutrition, supplements and geeking out on scientific studies. We plan to train 2-3 candidates, then hire 1 for MMC specifically … but if you really knock our socks off, we'll definitely find work for you in other departments — there's plenty of it! To apply, you'll need to complete a thorough and tricky spec assignment — and FAST. Specs are due by 10/18 at midnight EST. The turnaround is part of the test – we are a fast moving company, and we believe that great is the enemy of good. Plus, training starts on November 2nd and there's a lot to do before then. For spec details, please email our senior copywriter, Rachael Gray – rachael@metabolicliving.com. Use the subject line "AWAI Spec, Please!" ** Serious Inquiries Only. ** If you make the cut, you'll enter into an 8-week trial & training program with Rachael. She'll get you writing copy right away, train you in metabolic science (or, how to read your own metabolism and solve your own health problems), and you'll get to try out all our products for free. Oh … and we'll pay you $4,000 too. Even if it doesn't work out, you'll get incredible training from an A-list copywriter, you'll get to put the highly recognizable Sherpa name on your resume, make $4k, and get hundreds of dollars worth of super-high-quality products for free. We look forward to reviewing your spec. Happy writing!
