Is this a full-time contractor position?

This is a full-time contractor job from the end that I'd want this to have someone's full attention. There isn't a lot of room for outside work along with it.

That kind of commitment should come with full-time benefits.

Not necessarily. But certainly one would hope the salary would be large enough for the contractor to cover any needed benefits. I can think of a few other online gigs that don't offer bennies but at least give fat cash.

 

[Riptide]

Well, yeah. Hope the money is strong.

I believe the right candidate will be adequately compensated.

I believe they hired Brett Jensen (sp?) for this one.

Brett has taken our FOXSportsCarolinas.com job. This one remains open.

Good to know Brett got that job. He's a good guy and a journalist the business needs off the sidelines.

I certainly haven't noticed that in my recent online experience. Granted, it's not been with FoxSports. While the money I'm making has been okay, it's quite a bit below what the permanent staff are pulling in, plus they get benefits.

This position has been filled. Thanks to all those who showed interest.
