Associate Publisher for the Ottawa Construction News


We've received dozens of resumes for a career opportunity with high five-figure income potential (and within a few years, solid six figure earnings and an equity stake) but still are loooking for the right person to be the Associate Publisher for Ottawa Construction News. You would also work with the Ontario Construction Report and the GOHBA Impact!


Why the (careful) search?


It isn't that the pre-stated qualifications for this career opportunity are too high. You won't need to work weekends, and evening work is one or two nights a month (for some industry association events). We aren't imposing particular educational requirements, and you don't need any sales experience to start.

And we guarantee a fair salary

At least $40,000 per year, possibly more at the start if your experience or initiative shows you are right for the work -- realistic income potential (within your first year of employment) is $60,000 to $90,000 per year.

But we haven't hired any of the hundreds of people who have sent in resumes so far . . . Why?

Because we are looking for someone seeking more than a 'job'; someone who appreciates that a resume and interview cannot tell the story, and who understands that effective selling is NOT ripping through call lists, bugging people with blind and thoughtless cold calls, and mechanically behaving like the horrible salespeople you've seen countless times in your life.

Rewarding work

So we need to assess for comfort and skill in a selling occupation; then, if you have these abilities, we'll show you how to stop 'selling' and start sharing. It's a whole lot more fun and makes each day a pleasure.

Age, gender, race (any of the stereotypes) don't matter.


You need to be able to understand and speak English clearly (this after all is a communications service), be comfortable working without close supervision, and have access to your own vehicle -- our clients are not often on convenient bus routes! And you need solid, verifiable references -- if you have skeletons in your closet, let us know about them right away or you won't be hired, no matter how good you seem, otherwise. It helps to be computer literate -- we are rebuilding our website and Internet-related marketing will be an important part of the business in the years ahead.

How to apply


Send an email to me at buckshon@cnrgp.com. You can get some information about the work at our careers blog. I'll respond with instructions on where to send your resume. We'll follow up with a questionnaire, and if you qualify, the thorough evaluation begins (we'll pay you for your time for the parts that require serious effort.) You can also call me at 613-224-3460 ext 224 and I'll do my best to return your call within two business days.
