I’m based in Austin and have been with my company for nearly two years. I keep seeing people who are actively looking for legitimate work and struggling to get their applications seen, so I wanted to offer this.

My company strongly values employee referrals. I’m willing to speak with people who might be a good fit and refer qualified candidates through the formal employee referral process.

The primary opening is a permanent, part-time W-2 technical facilitation role. The position is fully remote, but the company is currently hiring for this role only in the following states:

Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.

This is not a sales position. There is no cold calling, lead generation, commission, sales quota, or selling of products or services.

The work involves providing audio, video, and technical support during scheduled virtual professional proceedings. Responsibilities include helping participants connect, monitoring audio and video, troubleshooting technical issues, facilitating the virtual room, and keeping the session moving when necessary.

Important scheduling requirement:

Although the role averages approximately 15 to 25 hours per week, it is not designed for evening-only or weekend-only availability.

Candidates must be fully available for at least three weekdays each week. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday are generally the busiest days, and candidates must be fully available for at least two of those three days.

For example, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday could work, as could Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Weekend work is occasionally available but is generally too limited to replace the weekday availability requirement.

Because of this, the position generally will not work for someone already working a standard Monday-through-Friday, 9-to-5 job unless that job provides substantial weekday flexibility. Hours may increase or decrease depending on business needs.

Position details:

• Fully remote from one of the currently eligible states listed above
• Permanent, part-time W-2 employment
• $20 to $23 per hour
• Approximately 15 to 25 hours per week on average
• Unlimited PTO
• Company-provided laptop, monitor, phone, headset, mouse, and other necessary equipment
• Phone and internet stipend
• Equity in the company
• Supportive company culture

You do not need to already own a complete home-office setup. You do need reliable internet and a quiet, dependable place to work.

The strongest candidates will be comfortable with technology, communicate professionally, learn new systems quickly, and remain calm while troubleshooting. You must be able to confidently facilitate a virtual room, interact with different personalities, and keep things moving when needed.

You are generally off camera and muted for much of the work, but you must be comfortable speaking clearly and taking control when the situation requires it. Reliability, punctuality, attention to detail, and professionalism are extremely important. Direct experience in this specific industry is not necessarily required.

Because I would be attaching my name to the referral, I will not automatically submit everyone who responds. I would first review your résumé or LinkedIn profile and have a brief 5 to 10-minute conversation with you. Nothing excessive. I simply want to understand your background and determine whether the role appears genuinely suitable.

For the initial résumé review, you are welcome to redact identifying information such as your surname, street address, phone number, personal email address, or anything else you are not comfortable sharing yet. I primarily need to see your relevant skills, employment history, experience, and education.

If this position does not align with your experience, I may also be able to refer qualified candidates for other current openings within the company. However, this is currently the primary part-time opportunity I’m aware of. Most other positions are full-time and require full-time availability.

If interested, send me a private message with:

• A brief introduction
• Your location and time zone
• Your relevant professional or technical experience
• Your LinkedIn profile, if available

I’m keeping the company name out of the public post, but I will provide my full name, the company name, the official job listing, and complete application instructions before any formal referral or application. Please wait to apply until after we speak so I can submit the employee referral first.

For transparency, I am a current employee, not a recruiter. I may receive an employee referral bonus if someone I refer is hired and remains employed for the required period. There is never any fee to participate, and a referral does not guarantee an interview or employment.

My goal is to help qualified people access legitimate remote work, help my company find strong candidates, and receive the referral bonus when a successful match is made.

I’m testing something and want honest feedback, not trying to sell anything.

I notice people (myself included) often spend a lot of time researching purchases like mattresses, furniture, pet products, or home items and still feel unsure or overwhelmed.

I’m wondering if this is something others experience too.

If there was someone who could take your situation, narrow down options, and give a clear recommendation, would that actually be useful to you, or do most people prefer doing the research themselves?

Curious how people handle this.

Posting to see if anyone with a friend might be available on the 28th for a pretty small move. Honestly, the main thing is just one heavy mattress; and perhaps one full-length mirror, and one 1" wood slab desk that's very easy to carry. I can handle most of my other stuff myself.

The mattress is an 8” wool mattress, and on the heavier side, so it’s definitely a two person lift. I’d ideally need you plus one other person, and a truck large enough to transport it from a South Austin condo (2nd floor with one flight of stairs) to a house in Pflugerville (also 2nd floor with one flight of stairs). I’m fine covering the truck rental separately if needed, whether that’s Home Depot, Lowe’s, U-Haul, etc. The mattress needs to lie flat.

I’m mainly trying to avoid paying full moving company pricing for essentially one major item. If this sounds like something you’d be comfortable with, let me know what you’d charge total and whether you’d have someone who could help you with the lift.

Thanks.
