Project description: Law Writer
We are looking for several talented writers to write for JDOasis. (www.jdOasis.com)

(100 Banana Points will be rewarded to any finance guys on WSO to pass this along to their law friends and who end up joining the JDO team!)

We ask that you commit to a minimum of one post (400 word min.) per week and a minimum of 8-10 weeks. More details will be provided during the interview process. We are also open to guest-writing possibilities if your schedule does not allow for a regular writing schedule.

Here are some current writers over at WallStreetOasis.com. Although a seperate site, the work will be similar:

  • Eddie: http://www.wallstreetoasis.com/blog/16325
  • M Friedman: http://www.wallstreetoasis.com/blog/68666
  • nychimp http://http//www.wallstreetoasis.com/blog/4
  • Vontropnats: http://www.wallstreetoasis.com/blog/72563
  • In The Flesh: http://www.wallstreetoasis.com/blog/35816
  • Jorge: http://www.wallstreetoasis.com/blog/35276
  • Tom Wach (former writer): http://www.wallstreetoasis.com/blog/37705
  • Yuriy A: http://www.wallstreetoasis.com/blog/18005

Timeline/hours:

  • Start date: ASAP
  • Term: minimum of 8 weeks, and 1 post (400 word minimum) per week (we are flexible on this - if some weeks you need off that is fine, please just give me advanced notice)

Skills/requirements:

  • Professional in the law (or similar field) industry (this is preferred, but not required)
  • Keep up with the writing calendar / editorial board (both on trello) - this only requires ~10min max to mantain per week. Helps keep us organized.
  • Strong writing skills
  • Fluent in English.
  • Knowledge of what JDO is all about (ie study our "About us" page).
  • Can commit to at least 1 post per week (400 word minimum) or give me 24 hours notice if you are going to miss a post.

Tangible Benefits for you:

  • A digital record of your writing ability and law expertise on a growing website, while developing writing/research skills.
  • Huge opportunity to be part of the next Wall Street Oasis by helping us build it from the ground up.
  • Great experience to help supplement your resume
  • Ask for career advice from practising professionals in the industry
  • Learn about SEO through company-wide conference calls
  • Patrick (CEO of WSO) will be happy to assist you with your career in the future - i.e. give recommendations / referrals etc. Will also write a letter of recommendation at the end of internship.

Intangible benefits: - i.e. what you will learn

  • Potential for your posts to be promoted to the homepage and visible to a wide audience, which will grow larger as time goes on.
  • Great networking opportunity - we encourage interns to engage with the community and also you are free to post your personal contact information (LinkedIn, email, website/blog url, etc.)

To apply: please email me at [email protected] and attach your resume, and the answers to the following questions:

  • Your current professional status (working, grad student, etc)
  • A brief rundown of your experience with law (what is your expertise)
  • What do you want to write about?
  • A confirmation that you meet the aforementioned skills/requirements
  • Your current availability (how many posts per week and for how many weeks) you can commit to

After you apply I will respond asap to set up a Skype/phone call with you to discuss the project.

Thanks,

Ken

I think it is pretty telling that there is no coverage of the Obamacare legislation on the main page of JD Oasis on the eve of the ruling. But there is a story from April about how to duck jury duty.

I joined JDOasis back in February of 2011. I kind of forgot about it for more than a year and checked in last month and was surprised to see how little growth it has had. :(

Maybe I'm spoiled by ibankingoasis.com's ridiculous growth or it's quite possible I don't know what the hell I'm talking about.

PRIVACY POLICY

The Company recognizes that you are concerned about privacy. We are committed to preserving your privacy and safeguarding your sensitive information. The following statement describes the general information-gathering and usage practices of our sites.

Our staff, contractors, Internet service providers and others involved in this site follow this policy or similarly strict policies regarding your Information.

Disclosure

The Company is committed to fully disclosing our policies regarding the collection, use, maintenance, disclosure and security of personal information obtained from users of our site. The term "personal information" includes a name, address, email address, or any other information which could be used to contact you directly or to identify you personally.

Use and Disclosure Limitations

The Company only uses personal information about its Web site users for specific purposes. We do not share user information with third parties except when we have told users about the disclosures, when we have prior consent, or when required by law.

Use Policy: When the Company gathers personal information from users, we ask for permission first. We also disclose, at the time of collection, how the information will be used by us. Personal information is used for activities such as auto-completion of commonly-used forms and helping us contact you when you solicit information from us.

Disclosure Policy: We do not normally disclose personal information to anyone outside of the Company unless we have previously informed users about the disclosures. However, some data may be used from time to time by outside contractors, including auditors or consultants, to assist us in carrying out necessary financial or operational activities. These uses will be consistent with this privacy policy and all contractors using this potential personal information must agree to safeguard it, to use it only for the authorized purpose, and to return it or destroy it upon completion of the activity.

The Company might be required to disclose personal information in response to a valid legal process such as a subpoena, search warrant or court order.

Although unlikely, it is possible that we may have to make certain disclosures to ensure the security of our Web site, to protect its integrity, or to take precautions against potential liability. In any of these situations, we will take any reasonable steps to limit the scope of the data disclosed.

Web Logs: The Company maintains standard Web logs that record basic information about visitors to our Web site. These logs contain: * The Internet domain from which you came to our Web site. * Your IP address. An IP address is a series of numbers which uniquely identifies your connection to the Internet. Although it is possible in some instances, certain types of IP addresses may be used by interested persons to identify users but we do not attempt to identify users in this way. * The type of browser (e.g., Internet Explorer or Netscape) and operating system (e.g., Windows 98) you use. * The date and time you visited the site, and the pages you saw.

We use Web log information to design our Web site, identify popular features, and in similar ways. We do not try to identify individuals from Web logs or to link Web logs to other user information. However, if someone tries to damage our Web site or use it in an unauthorized or illegal way, we may share Web log information with law enforcement agencies. The Company may provide aggregate information such as the number of users who visit particular pages of the site, or the number of people who link to certain external sites from our site, to other parties.

Changes to Privacy Policy

The Company's features and services will change over time and our information-gathering practices and policies may also change.

While our philosophy of protecting user information from inappropriate uses and disclosures will not change, this policy will be updated occasionally to include any change that materially affects the collection, maintenance, use, or disclosure of personal information.
