How to Apply

Please include:

1. Your CV.
2. Links to 3 WordPress websites you have worked on.
3. Examples of SEO results you have personally achieved.
4. Your expected monthly salary.
5. Your internet speed.
6. Your computer specifications.
7. A short Loom video (3-5 minutes) introducing yourself and explaining why you would be a good fit.

To show you’ve read this entire job description, start your application with the words:

“Blue Elephant”

Applications that do not include this phrase will not be considered.

One additional suggestion: because you’re concerned about accountability, I’d include a note such as:

This role uses time tracking software with optional screenshots while working, and we expect accurate time reporting. We value honesty and long-term relationships above all else.

That one sentence tends to deter applicants who are planning to work multiple full-time jobs simultaneously, while not putting off genuine candidates. This is also consistent with common advice for creating detailed, transparent job posts that attract stronger applicants.
