Jay Schauer, HotWax Sensei, sends this plea. We're intrigued:
Here's what's happening: Our startup company, HotWax, seeks a staff poet. I'd be very grateful if you could pass the following info along to anyone who might be interested.
HotWax wants a staff poet.
===================
Why doesn’t every company have a staff poet?
Poets shine light on the beautiful and the unexpected. Poets look from the inside out. Poets audit words, looking for the truth behind them.
Why wouldn’t a company want this? Shouldn’t there be a poet on every staff? Isn’t a poet’s role as important as an accountant’s?
Fame, Fortune, and an iPad!
===========================
Here’s what the lucky candidate will receive
* You’ll be HotWax’s first staff poet…a one-year position
* You’ll receive an insultingly small salary. We do mean small.
* Your picture, bio, and poems will be featured on the HotWax website
* You’ll get 500 HotWax business cards with your name and title
* You’ll get your own extension on the HotWax toll-free line (855 4HOTWAX)
* You’ll get a HotWax website — free for life
* You’ll get your very own 32GB iPad
Your staff position includes responsibilities
=============================================
* You’ll need to write at least 4 poems for HotWax during the year
* We’ll suggest topics, but you can choose your own
* These poems must be at least one word long
* HotWax will have the right to publish your HotWax poems on its website, use them in advertising etc.
* We might include your name or image or poems or all three in our marketing
* You’ll be invited to online staff meetings to opine about HotWax’s past, present and future
Thanks, Jay.
