What is the travel distance time US postal Service Parcel Post?

Where on the web can I recruit a part time web developer for free?

• I need to find someone who will do some part time website development for our company website www.worldclubtravel.com and also coach me in my own rudimentary web development / dreamweaver skills. We're a small independent business travel agency based in London, UK and have recently lost the lady who helped us set up & maintain our website. We plan to make simple updates ourselves eg. updating news, special offers, etc - and am currently on a basic dreamweaver course - but am sure I will need a more experienced shoulder to call on now & again for coaching help on the basics & also there will be more complex bigger developments/site extensions that we need to do, but will be beyond my abilities eg. integrating an email newsletter service, linking through to other web services, etc. Will need to have experience in a good mix of relatively simple web development skills - but nothing too complex - it's a pretty simple site. What we have in mind is a cheap, friendly, creative freelancer or student or someone looking for a little bit of work on the side - won't take very long - about 1-2 days per month - ideally based in/around London, UK so that we could meet up to brainstorm/develop ideas together in person - but I'm willing to give distance working a try. I don't really want to go through a recruitment agency for this - and spend loads of money! I'd really like to put a little ad on the internet - or on a suitable newsgroup - to get in touch with potential applicants . . . . . . but where?! That's my question. Where can I post my ad for free - or for a small fee - so as to be likely to get noticed by suitable people? Industry websites? Magazines? Uni/College intranets? That kind of thing. A job for Google Answers if ever I saw one! Thanks!! Steve Courtney Business Development Manager World Club Travel Ltd

  Hi Steve You can place an ad in the following newsgroups, for no charge: uk.jobs.offered http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&group=uk.jobs.offered An example of a recent posting for a web developer in this group can be viewed here: http://groups.google.com/groups?dq=&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&selm=6070607f.0212100248.743bed50%40posting.google.com misc.jobs.offered http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&group=misc.jobs.offered biz.marketplace.web-design http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&group=biz.marketplace.web-design Other possible places to advertise: Techfreelance.net www.techfreelance.net Here you can post your ad for free. The home page says the only costs you incur are what you pay for the freelancer. This might well be a distance working option. elance www.elance.com You post your project, describing exactly what your requirements are, and service providers bid on the project. I'd imagine, for your needs, that you'd be able to acquire somebody's services quite cheaply. You need to put a deposit of $25 down though, refundable when the project is awarded. Again, unless you get lucky, this'll fall into the distance working category. You could always try advertising in one of the free classifieds on the web, but you won't necessarily reach your target audience: www.adpost.co.uk/ www.nettrader.co.uk Advertising on college intranets sounds like a great idea. Here's a selection, based in London: University of Westminster http://www.wmin.ac.uk/careers/vacancies/admin/employer_form.asp Post your job here (free of charge), and they'll put it on the University intranet for you. City University London http://www.soi.city.ac.uk/liaison/newppguidelines/employers.html This page gives relevant contact details for job postings. Middlesex University http://www.mdx.ac.uk/placement/staff.htm#comp Again, this gives relevant contact details. If you wish to try other colleges/universities, go to their site and search for 'placement' or 'work experience'. You should then find the relevant form/contact details. I hope this helps you find someone who can help you. If you need clarification, don't hesitate!
