*** Please note. This is a full time job. We are not looking for freelance or part-time writers.

Before I waste your time and mine applying for this job, I need you to clarify a couple of things

1. When you emphasize that the work is full time, are you implying I must reside in the same town you are based in even though the work is online?

2. How important is my cv related to the fact that I can write damn
good articles and also have a fair knowledge of how to edit WordPress websites? My point is, are you looking for a very competent writer or an impressive cv?

Thanks.
