Business News Research (freelance)

Business News Research (freelance)

Do you have a nose for what makes a newsworthy business/investing story?

Are you good at getting people on the phone, and asking insightful questions?

Are you self-motivated, persistent, and results-oriented?

Would you like to work from home, earning $40-60K?

If you answered “yes” to these questions, you might be a good fit as a Research Analyst on Wall Street Reporter’s news desk.

Wall Street Reporter.com is an established investment service which produces interviews with CEO’s of publicly-traded companies that are making new headlines. Investors worldwide rely on our in-depth, unbiased, unfiltered, CEO interviews to gain a first-hand, straight -from-the-source perspective, and make intelligent and informed investment decisions. Wall Street Reporter has a history dating to 1843, and each year we interview over 4,000 CEO’s from companies worldwide.

Your role:
As a freelance Research Analyst, you will scan wire services, and other sources to find companies with a “story” that would interest Wall Street Reporter’s global investor audience. You will then contact the company’s CEO to see if there is worthwhile story, and if there is, you will schedule an (telephone) in-depth interview with one of our industry specialists, which will then be featured at www.wallstreetreporter.com

You are expected to book at least 2-3 of these interviews each day. This requires making 75-100 phone calls each day, and sending dozens of e-mails. To succeed, requires intense focus, persistence and efficient work habits. This is a simple job, but I promise you it is NOT easy. In fact it requires dogged persistence, and enthusiasm to succeed. You will be making call after call, and hearing “no” many times each day.

The word "fear" should not be in your vocabulary. This is a highly challenging position which requires a solid understanding of investment markets, and ability to uncover relevant, news-driven interviews and content.

Oh, we should also mention that this job is actually a lot of FUN for those who “get it”.

The pay:
You will be paid for EACH interview you deliver. The more interviews you deliver, the more money you will make. As a freelancer, you are paid for results only (i.e. no interviews = no money. More interviews = more money) You are paid on a 1099 basis every two weeks. Successful Research Analysts earn $40-60K+. If you are good, it will take about 2-3 weeks to build an interview “pipeline” where you are earning at this level.

NOTES:

This position is a FULL-TIME commitment. Please only apply if you are able to commit 8 hours+ EACH business day.

We offer a short training program for the right candidate.

You must sign a confidentiality agreement and be able to pass a background check.

You must be equipped to work from home, in a professional atmosphere (i.e. no barking dogs, and kids yelling in the background).

Requirements -
The following is preferred:
> 4 year college degree
> 1-2 years journalism experience
> Thorough understanding of financial markets

BIG+ if you have strong knowledge of biotech/healthcare and energy sectors.

HOW TO APPLY:

1) Do not send any resumes or attachments (they will be deleted un-opened, no matter how brilliant)

2)Visit www.wallstreetreporter.com - and if you “get it” move to step 3

3) Pick 5 stocks which you think should be featured on Wall Street Reporter, and give us your reasons WHY.

4) Give us 5 reasons why YOU would be a good fit with our organization.

We look forward to hearing from you!
