further requirements:
- response time, if we got a job we need you to start working on it within max. 9 days (the avg. job might be 4-5h).

- project size, we might need you to do mini-tasks for 30min and will pay you once a certain sum is completed

contract penalties for not meeting deadlines
how you will work:

outlook and background:
We have been providing this range of services ourselves until 2 years ago and it's time to get back into it, so you will surely not be doing a lot from the start.
To have a realistic figure we might need your service for about 15-20h within the next 4-5 weeks but are eager to increase this on time as word spreads below our customers. If you are good you will create your full time job within 12 months.
In case you are good, we well fix your long term commitment, availability and reaction times in a contract, also providing you a monthly minimum income after a trial period.
Since we are working in a rural environment, quality and customer
satisfaction are paramount because the word of mouth is the marketing
instrument of our choice.
