We are looking for two individuals to help support logistic operations in our small office. Candidates should possess a strong work ethic and history, a positive attitude, a college degree and be familiar with Toilet: The Novel [2].
In addition, we are looking for individuals with a strong background in Philosophy (mainly Montaigne, Schopenhauer and Nietzsche) and literature (Kafka, T.S. Eliot, Kerouac, und so weiter). Bi-Tri lingual preferred.
1) Secretarial/Data Entry position: We are looking for an individual to process data, do light research, receive phone calls and assist in general office duties that include planning and fulfilling travel arrangements.
Lower to mid-30's.
2) Account Supervisor: You will head logistics for the Toilet Team, a group of 4 people who are currently traveling around the country with toilet seats on their head in the deceased author's 96 Pontiac Sunfire. This will include making sure their travel arrangements are met, and doing research on local bookstores and libraries in the area they currently are in, shipping out valuable assets to the team (such as bookmarks, postcards and galley copies), and acting as liason between distributor and buyer, which includes processing orders, making deals with class clients, and informing local press of the Toilet Team's arrival.
In addition, you will act in off-time as a sales manager, establishing contacts with bookstores and libraries, and also as a PR agent, creating connections in the Press and writing Press Releases which you will then distribute through the proper channels.
Mid to upper 40's base salary.
This job is short term, beginning in December, 2005 (beginning with the ALA conference in Boston) and lasting until November, 2006 (ending with Miami-Dade Book Fair). However, depending on the success of the title, this could turn into a long-term position as we release other titles and work on the promotion of other books (the hope is that we will expand at that time to work with other clients seeking full service coast to coast guerilla marketing that works).
Only qualified candidates that are passionate about Toilet: The Novel need apply.
Interested candidates should send resume and cover letter to toiletthenovel@aol.com [3].
