Thanks for your interest in working with Tidewater Family! We are always in need of people for the following positions.
Advertising Sales Representative
This position can be full- or part-time and requires candidates with excellent communication skills. The position is commission-based and can be home-based. Your primary task would be to contact family-related businesses and present the opportunity to advertise in Tidewater Family—both in the print magazine and online. Often this can be done with phone calls and follow-up emails, but meeting potential clients in person can also be very effective.
We provide you with training, support, and materials. We require that you contact a minimum of 20 new businesses each week. Much of your job entails maintaining files on your prospects and clients and conducting follow-up calls.
In addition to having excellent communication skills, candidates must be very detail-oriented, enjoy working with people, and LOVE Tidewater Family.
If you are interested, please send your resume and a letter of interest to info@tidewaterfamily.com.
Writers
We are always on the lookout for writers for Tidewater Family. Our style is informal and conversational. Shorter paragraphs work best. Length varies from 600-700 words for shorter articles to 1500 or so for longer articles.
Writers fall into two categories:
- Local Experts - We welcome informational articles about your area of expertise as long as they are not self-promoting. For example, if you are a dentist, an appropriate article might be about sealants, why they are important, and when children’s teeth should be sealed. The first step is to contact the editor at info@tidewaterfamily.com and provide a few topics you might like to write about. If these topics are a good fit for TF, the editor might suggest that you write a sample article for consideration. For your contribution, you would receive a blurb at the end of the article with your name, credentials, and contact info. It’s a great way to gain visibility for your business or health care practice.
- Freelance Writers - If you would like to receive assignments and/or pitch story ideas, please send your resume and writing samples to info@tidewaterfamily.com.
