Soft Skill + Availability Requirements

  • Good communication skills: you’ll be working with fellow team members to accomplish tasks related to producing great content. We sometimes have tight internal and external deadlines, so timely responsiveness during the workweek is necessary to work on this team.
  • Problem-solving skills: When there’s an issue, Blogsmith teammates use their resources and each other to get it solved before it becomes a bigger issue.
  • Organization/planning skills: Successful creators on our team don’t wait until the day a project is due to get their questions answered or address issues. With how quickly social media moves, it helps to be equally as proactive as reactive.
