Hi there! I am a copywriter and web content specialist; I thought I'd reach out and let you know about what I do, since you may need my help. I cannot create your web site in terms of coding and programming, but I am the person who can make your site come to life through words and other media. I can help you promote your business through various platforms as well.
In terms of hiring readers and drivers:
Invest time and/or money into background checks first and foremost. Make sure to interview each candidate in a neutral location with which you are familiar and confident navigating. Prepare questions ahead of time, and determine which characteristics you are hiring for in terms of either position. If you find that you get along with a person, their background is clean and they seem capable of performing the job they interview for, it's a pretty safe bet that the person is a good hire.
Determine wages based on your financial capacity as well as according to the mainstream service standard.
Decide whether you will hire the person on retainer, by the hour, or on a per-project or event basis. It makes the most sense to hire a driver or reader on an hourly basis. An acceptable wage is between 12 and 14 dollars if you are capable of paying that. You may be able to get away with hiring someone to fulfill either service for as low as ten dollars to start, but it depends on where you live, what the job specifically entails, and the qualifications of your new employee. If you're lucky, you may find someone to fulfill both the reader and driver role at once. This way, you have one person to rely on for both services, and you may be able to pay a bit more competitively in order to budget for any other business investments.
thank you for the sound advice . I will send you a pm later tonight .
I'm with the advice on background checks. I used to hire state contracted caregivers. They would put their name in, and if they passed the check, they were all right. But, have someone you trust watch at first. Someone sighted help you enterview. I wish I had, and still regret my mistakes to this day.
For my situation, I have a deal with my program that we won't hire individuals. Only agencies who pay for that stuff, and since then, I've done much better.
Pay attention to tones of voice. And, if something seems odd, don't let it go. I only say this, because I know people who were basically taken advantage by others, because of their inability to get to their physical site all the time. But, that's one of the worst things I've seen.
Don't hire a friend or relative. I've seen personal and business get confused. Just babbling, and thinking of things I've seen. I was supposed to be hired by a member of my family, but it fell through, and cost me any assistance from outside services.
Hope this helps.
Blessings,
