Here's the deal.

I come up with WAY too many ideas for my own good, and for my partner Brandon to even handle sometimes. I really really suck at implementing or follow through, especially when it requires a lot of work that I'm not very fond of. I guess I'm just spoiled by now.

So I need a slave. Like a personal assistant who is willing to work for me remotely. Handle a lot of my stuff. Spend lots and lots of time getting shit done for me. Multi-tasking. Reminding me to do things. Keep tabs on projects. Do the leg work for me when it comes to doing boring repetitive work.

Basically, your job is to be my slave. Seriously. You work your ass off for 6-10 months as a type of remote internship. In exchange, you'll learn more from me, the good stuff I hope, than you can ever learn from anyone else in the industry in terms of innovative thinking, strategies, how NOT to run a company, sales, BH techniques... not only SEO, learn how to manipulate people through specific types of speaking methods, and lots of other goodies. Oh yeah, you're going to be flown out for free, or rather on our tab to Aff Summit West and possibly AD:TECH NY (depending on if you live close or not). At the shows you'll be around me and you'll take notes and photos of people I meet so I can remember who they are (because my short term memory blows).

This is NOT a salary job.. but since I can't be THAT cruel, I will offer you compensation in terms of %'s from any projects you work on with me. They won't be very high %'s either, so don't get all cranky on me.

You WILL have to sign a very well written and covered NDA and a Non-Compete (for certain projects). You will get hands on training in just about EVERY topic for internet marketing. You can basically get free consulting on just about everything (in a non-irritating way please) that you were ever afraid to ask.

You MUST have a background in Design, development, coding (php especially). By background I don't mean you have to be a fuckin expert. But let's just remember that Jon is horrible in design, dev, and coding/programming, so someone needs to compensate for me.
You MUST have a good personality (you may be on the phone often, and I don't want you fucking up deals for me because you sound like an idiot).
You MUST have a good attitude at almost all times and be a hard worker. I don't want to have to give you pep talks and a hug, because I will just fire you and laugh instead.
You MUST be open, honest and loyal at all times, even when your months of slavery are over.
You MUST be able to read and follow directions the first time.
You MUST be available between the times of 10am EST - 8pm EST. We can work on this if it's really an issue, but I usually stop at around 2am. But I won't punish you for my crappy work habits.
You MUST be willing to take a walk on the dark side, and have a very open view of business ethics and morals.. or lack there of.
You MUST be over the age of 18 at least, if not 21. Male or female, I don't give a shit, just be able to deal with a rude, cruel Jew from NYC with a potty mouth and an attitude.

I am being 100% serious with this post.

Email me at Jon AT WickedFire.com
with a paragraph or two on why you'd like the position, and what goals or accomplishments you have for the next year. You can also tell me about your current situation, but if it's a sob story, don't expect a very nice reply from me.

This may sound like a shitty job, but I can assure you, it's not all that bad. You may actually have fun with it, and if you can survive working for me as my assistant, then you can handle just about anyone or any challenge in the industry afterwards. How's that for learning a trade then eh?

I love this sentence. This is going to be a great experience for someone.
 
what kind of deals do you make?

who do you make deals with?

what's the annual revenue of your incorporated?

Why don't you just hire a salaried worker? Are you that cheap as a <censored>
 
It's a very real statement... Next to Hockey and Fucking, my next favorite sport is Firing people.

Since the crack down on prostitutes on CL is it safe to say that firing people has moved up a spot?

Actually, it's not the same at all. The person who gets this position will be hungry to make it in the industry, and a salary worker will just coast along. I find some of them to be lazy and annoying. Just like when I was in the adult business and we were hiring people at the office, I purposely tossed out all of the Ivy league graduates' resumes and only interviewed the community college and local college kids, because they don't have something to fall back on, and generally they are much more loyal and hard working.

I know my original post makes me come off as a tyrant. But I wouldn't treat anyone like shit, unless they deserved it. I want someone who respects the industry and also has the balls to voice their opinion if they think I'm wrong, or to make suggestions on projects.

Almost all of the projects are WickedFire services related, and have to do with industry contacts of mine. Forging partnerships, taking notes from meetings we'll do on conference calls, scheduling meetings at shows, etc.

It's not going to be a walk in the park type of gig. And if you can't handle it, don't bother applying. This person has a chance to work on some of the biggest projects in WF's short history, but they are all groundbreaking and unique concepts. When the term is over, this person will also be able to get a job pretty much anywhere in the industry if that's something they want, or I'll help them get to the level they hope to someday be at... or, if everything goes great, they'll get a paying job offer from us to stay in our company and take on much more responsibilities and projects because he/she will have earned my trust and respect. And nothing beats that in a cutthroat industry like this one.
 
only if you have a ManDingo weiner

International applicants in case you're wondering if you measure up to a ManDingo:

Your penis must be 29.4 cm (11 ¾ in) in length and over 16.5 cm (6 ½ in) in girth when fully erect.
