Firelight

Project Coordinator

Firefall Pro, LLC, a small, super-relaxed consulting firm in Chelsea seeks a Project Coordinator who speaks effectively, writes well, and enjoys being immersed in technology.

For the most part, you’ll be utilizing our project management system to keep track of what’s in progress, as well as creating and scheduling new projects. There will be many opportunities to contribute to projects, once you have the skills and confidence to contribute to them.

Excellent communication, organizational, and planning skills are a must. You should be able to easily juggle between meeting clients, writing e-mails, and making telephone calls. Simultaneously.

One of the most important aspects of managing a project is the ability to keep a project moving towards its completion. Occasionally, a project will lose its momentum due to insufficient information with the tasks at hand, and/or the need to follow up with the client to get the project moving again. When you see this happening, you’ll need to jump in, figure out what’s going on, and determine ways to resolve these project bottlenecks.

If you’re up for the challenge and believe that this could fit your career goals, send us your cover letter and resume to info@firefallpro.com for immediate consideration.

Perks:
- Drawer of Vice
- Relaxed Dress Policy
- Accrued Vacation Days

This is a 1099 contract position.
NO relocation assistance is offered.
MUST be authorized to work in the US.
NO Visa sponsorship available.

P.S. – I will personally gut whoever contacts us with staffing or outsourcing solutions.

This is a little informal, but Firefall Pro, LLC is currently seeking a part-time to full time PHP (LAMP) developer. We will consider all skill levels. Compensation will vary depending on skill and available time. Training is available.

The person must live in the NYC area and actually show up in the office. We are not outsourcing, or considering a staffing agency. I will personally gut whoever contacts us with either of the aforementioned solutions. I will also make it my sworn duty to publish their inability to read everywhere I can.

I’ll post a better job description when I get around to making Dan write it. Resumes should be sent to info@firefallpro.com.

Ok, if you’re going to send me a resume, or e-mail containing one, for your own well being at least spell check it. I posted the job opening on Cragislist, and the resumes have started coming in. With it has been a mixture of valid candidates, and those who obviously aren’t trying. For example, graduating from a state or community college is not the perfect reason for being qualified for the position. That’s what experience is for. Also sending the entire message in the same font and size is preferred. Who want’s to get an obvious copy and paste job.

Another key thing is not immediately stating that you’re qualified to work in the U.S. Normally I’d assume any applicant was qualified to work here, but saying you are makes me think you’re trying to compensate for not actually being able to. Applying for a job that centers around details is not the ideal place to reveal how inconsistent you can be. That’s what retail positions are for.

In short, congratulations to those applicants who know what spell check is, and how to use it. Taking a few extra moments not to do something stupid is worth it. Those people actually get interviews, and to the rest of you, learn how to say, “what kind of drink would you like with that.”

Yes, third (sequential) post today. I just wanted to let everyone know that we are hiring. Now don’t all jump at once for the chance to work here. I know how everyone would so much rather be here then some other place, but we do some cool stuff, and honestly I’m not a bad person to work for. I don’t think the others here would abuse you much at all, well aside from the clients.

Seriously though, we have an opening for a support / Q&A person. If you are interested please contact us. We have a very unique work environment, and are in the heart of NYC. How could you go wrong?
