QUICK QUIZ - SEE IF A JAFFE CAREER IS RIGHT FOR YOU:
- Are you the type of person who wants to be challenged and engaged in meaningful work, but no longer desires the mandatory grueling hours, dress code requirements, and political/social drama of a traditional office environment?
- Does the ability to work out of your home office or any other place in the world, along with some flexibility to set your own schedule, seem like a rare work-life balance opportunity you’d seize in a nanosecond?
- Could you easily reallocate the time and money you currently spend on daily commuting towards more productive purposes?
- Are you happy to leave the typical “star-system, knife in your back” corporate environment to join a truly teamwork-oriented group of professionals who are all focused on a shared vision and common set of goals?
- Do you possess senior-level marketing and/or media relations experience in any of the following settings: (1) an independent consulting capacity, (2) an advertising or public relations agency account management position, OR (3) the professional services sector (law, finance/accounting, architecture, engineering, etc.)?
- Are you a highly motivated self-starter who is capable of developing new business and working independently from a home office yet within a highly structured and organized team (we call this unique combination “intrapreneurial”)?
- Are you aware of and comfortable using leading edge technologies and able to recommend effective Web 2.0 tools for inclusion in clients’ marketing and/or media relations plans?
