Two day job - must be organized and skilled using the numerical keypad

Hey IRC,

I've been helping a friend organize his files - let's just say that he didn't have the best filing system.

In any case, I'm going to be away for the rest of the summer but he needs some clerical help next week to finish the job we started. If you or someone you know is looking to work for a couple of days (9:30-5 with a break for a paid lunch) drop me a line (zo AT stopstressingout DOT com) and I'll pass along his info.

The gig pays $20/hr (cash) and is relatively straight forward:
1) Finish sorting through his receipts from the past few years and put them into 3 catagorized manilla folders by year (I've already done 95% of this).

2)Enter the receipts into MS Excel so they can be tallied and the #s can be sent off to his accountant (thus the need for someone skilled with the numerical keypad on a standard keyboard).

He'd like to get this finished next week (7/17-21). His schedule is flexible so it doesn't matter which days you work. You'd be working out of his apartment in Harlem (Lenox near 121st St. just a few blocks from the 2/3 or a short walk from the other 125th St subway stations). He's a nice guy in his 30s, just disorganized.

If you're interested drop me a line:
zo AT stopstressingout DOT com

Thanks IRC!

Real Estate

If anyone is interested in Real Estate, we are always looking for quality agents.

The only catch is; when you first start, you aren't going to make money unless you put all of your time into it.

You will have to start working at least 6 days a week for the first few months.
There is no set schedule and you make your own hours, but that's pretty much what it takes in this crazy business.


Call me if interested: Scott @ 646.637.6377

Hi IRC NY.
I've been working with a headhunter in the healthcare advertising field, looking for a job as a copywriter with a healthcare ad agency. It's been slow and I'm not 100% if he's doing everything I'm asking him to, mostly get my resumes to companies he's not very familiar with. I was wondering if any IRC/improv folks work for healthcare adversiting agencies that are looking for a creative, experienced, and hella talented copywriter. I keep hearing that agencies can't have enough copywriters, yet I haven't gotten a call for an interview. Does anyone work in healthcare advertising or know a company looking for a copywriter?

Please PM me!
