Content Specialist at DocSpot -- no experience needed (santa clara)

For the full job description (including status updates and instructions on how to apply), please visit: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YKvuLVMXgj527fMuEyaVnum1MzR11QSTtS5qQSoX_68/edit?tab=t.0 Company: DocSpot is a small digital health company that helps people find doctors, dentists, and therapists. Check out our service at https://www.docspot.com. Role: This position is a generalist role and does not require any specialized educational or professional background. Over time, the individual filling this role will likely have significant influence on the product direction. The position does not correspond neatly with any traditional job label and is multi-faceted: - Web research: One large part of this role involves researching healthcare concepts and institutions and organizing them into hierarchies and establishing other relationships between them. For example, one might translate these concepts into something our software can understand: -- CABG is a type of a cardiac procedure that treats coronary artery disease, and a symptom of coronary artery disease is chest pain, also known as angina -- Palo Alto Medical Foundation -- also known as PAMF -- is part of Sutter Health - Data quality: The company indexes publicly available information about doctors and other providers, and part of this role is to review the information to ensure that it is correct, and to help build new data sets. - Other: Other responsibilities include (but are not limited to) testing software and responding to support requests. Unfortunately, some incoming support requests can be rather rude, so be prepared to respond politely to angry people while upholding our policies. We think that someone who is good at internet research or quality assurance, or a thoughtful and detailed administrative assistant, is likely to be a good fit. Many other backgrounds would also work well.

Industry Professional Writing, Producing, and Consultation

Hello! I am an NAACP award-nominated professional screenwriter and producer open to helping people develop and deliver their stories to script. I have over fifteen years of professional experience. I’m currently a development executive at a major streamer with more than ten films and five series to my credit as a writer and producer. If you have a script that needs a ghost or co-writer to get it across the finish line, or if it you’ve the bones of an idea that you’d like turned into a feature to be shopped around, I’m happy to deliver a compelling, industry-grabbing screenplay in a very short amount of time. From inception to first draft, I can have a movie complete in three weeks or less at a fair price, and I’ve worked in all genres, from comedy and drama to horror and science-fiction. Honestly, I’m mostly looking to do this to help people along the way in bringing their passion projects to life, so I am not here to charge what I would normally get from a studio or streaming platform. If you have any interest in my services, please reply, and I’ll give you more verifiable information about my background and credits before we discuss your project. If you like what you see, we can negotiate reasonable compensation, and should we collectively produce something really special, we can talk about avenues to turn the script into a feature. I have my own production company as well that has made a few award-winning, independent films with big household names (Al Pacino, for instance)…so if we happen to stumble on gold, helping to produce the project would not be out of the question for me. Though, obviously, this would be on a case-by-case basis, and it all starts with a great script. Also, if you have a finished script, and you’re looking for very detailed notes from a development executive, I am happy to provide a thorough assessment of your work for a very reasonable price. Best of luck with all your creative endeavors!
