The tarantín is growing, and we need help. We’re looking for a quick, enthusiastic Editorial Assistant to help prepare texts for publication in Caracas Chronicles. This is a part-time position, with most of the work to be done from home, form early to mid-morning. 15 hours a week, tops.

The ideal candidate:
- Has an exceptionally strong grasp of written English and an eye for detail.
- Is the kind of person who can’t help but spot grammatical and spelling mistakes, even when not consiously looking for them. (For instance, you immediately noticed that ‘consciously’ was misspelled in that last sentence.)
- Gets Caracas Chronicles.
- Has what it takes to earn our trust.
- Lives in Caracas.
- Understands the basics of Venezuelan public life.
- Is a morning person, ready to get going at 6 a.m.
- Is either very comfortable with WordPress or a digital native able to learn it quickly. (Or, ideally, both.)
This is an ideal job for a grammar nerd, with or without formal experience, looking to begin a career in journalism or Venezuelan public life.
