Deadline: 4:00 PM EST - 21 August
Query:
In these unusual times, remote work become more prevalent than
ever. However, now that the job market has had some time to
settle in to its new ways, many companies have decided to
permanently shift certain roles to a virtual/remote status.
Therefore, how does this "new normal" affect new hires who are
starting off with company on a virtual basis? While established
employees have had to opportunity to get to know their
colleagues in-person before their positions went remote,
candidates applying to already existing virtual positions do not
have this luxury. What are some suggestions to help new hires
transition into their new place of employment in a strictly
remote capacity? What does it mean for the future of company
cultures and teamwork in general?
Requirements:
We are seeking seasoned/experienced team leaders, hiring
managers, HR professionals, or any professionals with knowledge
of job market trends. We ask that you read the following: 1.
Please respond with your ideas/opinions on this topic based on
your experience and knowledge of the workplace. (No word limit
or minimum.) 2. If chosen, your work will be edited and included
in a resource publication that will be forwarded to our
extensive client and customer lead base. 3. Be sure to include
your full name and credentials/affiliations so that we can
properly list you as the guest contributor in the written piece.

Deadline: 1:00 PM EST - 20 August
Query:
This article is a pros and cons piece about buying and building
email lists. I'm looking for an email marketing expert to answer
the following questions:
-When it comes to small businesses, which email list procurement
method (bought or purchased) should be used? Is there one that's
better over the other?
-In my initial research, I'm seeing a good amount of people make
the claim that buying an email list for marketing purposes isn't
necessarily the best practice. Is there anything inherently
wrong with going to a list broker to buy a list?
-On the other side of the coin, organically building an email
list sounds like it could take a lot of time an effort for a
small business. What's the benefit of building your own list?
-Is it worth it to buy or grow an email list from scratch? What
are some ways a small business can do that?
-Is targeted email marketing worth it?
If there's anything I should consider when writing, or anything
my readers need to know about building or buying email lists,
please let me know.
Please refrain from answering unless you're an expert in email
marketing with specific knowledge of how buying and building
email lists works.

In the best of times, setting a valuation for private companies
is tricky business - as witnessed by flops, flareouts and
unicorns in of the IPO game.
Now, with COVID-19 having a varied affect by industry and
geography, setting a value on a company may have moved from art
form to voodoo. In this story, we'll be focusing on the earning
multiplier / discounted cash flow method of valuation, and we'd
like expert input on how to develop a view and better yet
explain expected cash flows in the midst of the pandemic's
uncertainty.

Query:
For a major, national upscale publication, I'm seeking to
interview homeowners who weren't happy with the way their home
was remodeled five years ago and have since taken steps to
remedy that - with a new renovation. Their regrets could be
about ANYTHING -- from the kitchen location they initially
thought they wanted to the realization that their second floor
addition is too small for their needs and have decided to
enlarge it the second time around. Or perhaps, they realized
that they don't want a greenhouse and art studio on their
property after all but a swimming pool and a wet bar.
Requirements:
The focus is on very upscale homes - to dovetail with the
publication's demographics. The properties can be located
anyplace throughout the U.S., EXCEPT New York, LA and Miami,
which the publication covers a great deal. Before homeowners
agree to participate, I'll give them a clear idea about the
types of information the story will include -- so no surprises
whatsoever.

Query:
For an article about national local cattle breeds development
policies and protection policies need a few expert opinions on
the need of having local cattle breeds at all. It is important
for me to point out that the article is not against or for local
breeds protection policies. I merely need expert opinions on it
from both supporters and skeptics. The article is mainly about
EU with some examples from North America.
So to summarize the question is simple:
- Do you think countries need their own cattle breeds? Please
explain why with examples.
Requirements:
Just support you personal opinion with some facts, data,
examples, etc
