How to Get a Freelance Writing or Editing Job at ConsumerSearch.com-

Skills Needed
Writing for ConsumerSearch requires uncommon research and analytical skills. Contributors need to be detail oriented, critical and organized, and must be able to adapt to their format and tone. Assignments are research-heavy in a 'leave-no-stone-unturned' way. Are you the kind of person who spends 25 hours researching toasters before buying one? If so, you might have the right aptitude for ConsumerSearch.
Freelance writers and editors sought to join ConsumerSearch.com's team. ConsumerSearch.com, owned by About.com,  is part of The New York Times Company.
Successful Application Tips

  1. Read a report or two on their site.  See what they do and; how it's done.
  2. See the About Us page for an explanation of the site.
  3. See the FAQ page for more on how they compile the most comprehensive product reviews online.
  4. Prepare a sample report. The sample report  helps them understand your analytical abilities and writing style. Completion of the sample report is not paid.
  5. Get your tentative assessment If they like what they see, they will make a further, paid, writing assignment.
Note: Their report structure is very rigid—some writers really like working within this structure, while others don't. It's hard to tell until you try it.
 Report Writing Tips
  1. Test multiple competing products.

Get Hatched, Matched and Dispatched Online - ON Govt. Tool

Ont. Online Certificate Application Center

Had a really frustrating time filling out the birth certificate application for Sneaky Pete. I'd get it almost finished, click next and a nasty message would pop up saying

image"The online application is not available at this time. Please try later." Can a computer be sarcastic?  

I would have gone crazy if it hadn't been for my trusty RoboForm tool bar. RoboForm took the info  I  typed  into it, and plugged  it into the form  with a click of my  mouse. Always double check your forms. Oops! Must have typed something in the wrong space. 'Eensy weensy spider' is not my maiden name!


What?
Apply for birth, death or marriage certificates if they took place in Ontario. (You can register 10 to 16 weeks from when the birth, marriage or death took place, depending on the event.)
How Long Till it Arrives?
