This is an incredible opportunity for a driven, savvy, tireless person to get access to investors, broadcasters, donors, celebrities, and the documentary film world (We have film projects going simultaneously), and to work with creative up and coming directors and producers. This will not be an easy job, but the long term pay-off is there.

**Please don't bother if you don't have the qualities and skills listed above. You need to feel confident that you are comfortable interfacing on a professional level under significant stress
and a lack of hourly direction. You must be capable of being micromanaged initially and on some deliverables, but trusted entirely on others. A good candidate would research, ask others, and network a problem
before asking how to solve it. He/She will be capable of identifying priorities and keeping the producer organized and on top of priorities.

b. Now tell me why you want the job, and why I should choose you--without saying, "you should choose me because...". Tell me something interesting about your goals, your interests, your plan for world take over, the iPhone app you want to develop etc...
