You will be contracted to design coloring pages and worksheet ideas created by our team. You are also tasked with writing a short description of the worksheet, and inputting it into our content management system. Training will be provided.
WHO WE ARE:
An easy-to-use, one-stop destination for parents of preschool-grade 12 aged children that blends cutting-edge editorial, reference, and community. Users look to our site for answers to their most pressing parental issues, but also for ideas that make family life more fun.
COMPENSATION
This is a full-time contracted position that will run for the months of November and December and pays $15 per worksheet created. We would like the majority of the work to be done in our Redwood City office, located across the street from the Caltrain Station. However, working from home is negotiable for some of your hours.
TO APPLY:
No need for a cover letter. Just e-mail us with subject heading "Worksheet Designer," and include a paragraph introducing yourself, your graphic design experience, and your interest in this project. Please also send your resume (if possible, please paste your resume directly into your email) and a sample worksheet. Here's what we're looking for:
Create a worksheet that allows kids around preschool age to practice their phonics by matching rhyming sounds. There should be some simple text at the top which explains to the child what they need to do. The worksheet should then show pictures of objects that rhyme, without actually naming the object in words. How you approach this matching game is up to you, but, for example, you could ask the child to "Circle all the words that sound the same" and then show (through pictures, drawings, photographs, etc...) a bat, hat, cat, rat and mix in some words that don't rhyme with those like door, house, etc... But, feel free to make this your own. Experiment with the objects and pictures you use, and with the ways of getting the child to match them up. Be creative and have fun: one of the most important concepts behind these worksheets is that it looks fun in the eyes of a child. Feel free to peruse the worksheets section of our site for inspiration: http://www.education.com/worksheets/.

You’ll be spending your time here with a near permanent smile plastered on your face (trust us, your classmates won’t even recognize you) and sure… you’ll have bunions from constantly putting your best foot forward. But think about it… While everyone else is back in class and the cobwebs develop on your chair, rumors will begin to spread about your abduction by aliens, or was it a gig in a reality TV show. (You decide.)
So we have a chair, a desk and a computer waiting for the right person who wants to get their feet wet in the advertising industry. We’re looking for a savvy advertising graphic designer who flies thru all of the CS3 software with ease. Can bang out stellar design work. Knows the difference between an M dash and an N dash. Who can spell (yep it’s important) and can help us with some front end programming thru the basic HTML to complex flash animations. If you think that you’re the right fit- Read on.
We’re a Prestigious East Bay Marketing and Advertising firm. We specialize in helping organizations that define the next generation of healthcare products sell their products and services direct to consumers and to the professional healthcare community.

This means lots of print ads, collateral systems, the occasional interactive project and just enough TV to keep you on your toes. It’s a comprehensive mix of media and strategy along with an extremely positive “improve the quality of your health/life” messaging mix that we think beats the constant debate of which laundry soap gets out grass stains best.
If you’d like to do rewarding work, build your book and hang out with a laid back team that knows how to win an award or two, and you’re excited to work a 3 minute walk from the BART station in Walnut Creek…then read the fine print and shoot over your resume and a link to your online portfolio so we can see your best work.
