We are a small, rapidly growing and well-connected startup. We're searching for a writer with a sincere and enthusiastic tone to write emails to mostly technical folks (software engineers, product managers, software designers, etc.). We will train you on programming terms, and encourage you to learn about software, technology, and tech companies, if your interested.
Since we're still small and the emails you write comprise a core part of our business, you'll work closely with the founders (you'll have our cell phone numbers and can call at any time), and your feedback will have significant impact on how we build the business.
Starting compensation is flexible, and depends on your ability. Since we're a tiny, rapidly growing startup, there are many opportunities for you to grow into other roles. This role begins as contract / part-time, with the goal of growing into full-time if you're a good fit.
Please contact us if you:
- Enjoy learning about and writing messages to talented, interesting people. In your application, we'd like you to include a writing sample: an email to Janet Stone (imaginary resume attached to this posting) from you (a recruiter at your imaginary company, Mage) asking if she'd be interested in being a data engineer at Mage. Here's some information on the imaginary company and the data engineer role:
+ Mage is a stealth startup with 10 engineers, located in San Francisco. Although we can't talk about what we're doing over email, we have a significant amount of image data that we need to classify using machine learning.
+ A data engineer here would build ETL pipelines (basically, import data from one source into another and ensure its correctness), write algorithms to classify our image data, and maintain our data infrastructure.
- Can adapt your writing voice to match somebody else's. For the outreach email in your application, please match your writing style to the style of this job posting.
- Are extremely detail-oriented. There is one clear grammatical error in the first 3 paragraphs of this post. The first sentence of your application should tell us what the error is.
- Are excited about helping us prototype our email writing process and proactively making it more effective / efficient.
- Have a technical or scientific background (not required, but helpful) - i.e. you've explored programming, or are familiar with the technologies used today and in the past, or avidly follow scientific / technological developments.
In your application, please also include a brief background on yourself, and help us understand why you're interested in this job in particular. Please sell us on you!

Greetings! With a Masters degree in Creative Writing, and a First Class Honours degree in English and Creative Writing. I have written many Books, ebooks and articles before. I would love to work on this project as I find it very interesting. I am very passionate about all of my work, and a bit of a stickler when it comes to accuracy and attention to detail. Time is money, and with my speed I can save you on both! Hope to work with you soon. Regards!

Dear Janet,
Your skills and accomplishments have come to my attention, and I must say, "I'm impressed!" With your prestigious education and career, you would be an ideal fit at Mage.
I'm not surprised you haven't heard of us. We aren't bragging yet, but our start-up has the potential to shake up the industry. Our team of engineers is looking for someone to join them; someone with your qualifications! Are you looking to expand your horizons? Do you want to help shape the future of a great company? Would you like another opportunity to innovate the pattern-recognition and data-classification fields? I can't give you more details over email, but I would love to set a time for a telephone conference where we can get to know one another better. When would be a good time to talk?
Warmest Regards,
Tim Bowman
Outreach Coordinator, Mage

As you can see, I have a certain skill with writing. I've done my best to capture the professional-but-comfortable tone of your requisition. Obviously this can be modified to fit your organization's needs. I am new to Freelancer. Having decided not to invest in their tests yet, please feel free to ask questions. My hourly rate, or other compensation if preferred, is negotiable, however I am looking for flexible hours while I pursue personal travel. That said, I can be available at short notice or odd hours.
1.) The error in your post is in the second paragraph. That paragraph is too long and unwieldy. It should be broken down into two sentences.
2.) I think this project is a good challenge to leverage my background in technology and entrepreneurship. This is similar to a project I am currently involved with on electronic payments and mobile systems wherein I have to email investors and potential partners. I believe this effort will be a good experience that allows me to sharpen my technical and marketing skills while building your business. Since this is my first time to take on a Freelancer project, I am keen to make a good first impression too.
3.) Please find below my sample email for Jane Stone:
Dear Jane,
I am delighted to invite you to apply at Mage for a data engineer role. Mage is an exciting stealth startup with 10 engineers, located in San Francisco. Although we can't talk about what we're doing over email, we have a significant amount of image data that we need to classify using machine learning.
As a Mage data engineer, you will build ETL pipelines (basically import data from one source into another and ensure its correctness), write algorithms to classify image data, and maintain our data infrastructure.
I believe your background and experience is what we need. If you think working with us excites you, do send me an email so we can explore your work options. We can also arrange for a Skype call if needed.
Best Regards,

I have gone through the project description thoroughly and understood the same. I used to work as a software engineer in a reputed MNC named SYNTEL LIMITED and worked with US based client. My technical area of expertise is .NET (Framework version 4.0) and in my project we used VB and C# as the languages and followed SDLC model. I have a genuine interest in coding and I feel working in this project would help me expand my horizon in the field of software engineering. Below is the writing sample you have asked for:
