[Job-Discussions] A Different Way to Use Job-Listings

[Sandra Gayer]

Hello Everyone,
Would these jobs be open to people who do not live in America? I have
a degree although it's in music performance. I have had articles and
other journalistic work published. Without knowing what you're looking
for, I won't comment any further. I will say that piece rate as
opposed to hourly rates, would suit people with health conditions who
cannot keep to a designated schedule. Best of luck to everyone who
applies.

Very best wishes,
Sandra.
