================================================================  

The LINGUIST List strongly encourages employers to use
non-discriminatory standards in hiring policy. In particular we urge
that employers do not discriminate on the grounds of race, ethnicity,
nationality, age, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. However, we
have no means of enforcing these standards.

Job seekers should pay special attention to language in ads regarding
employment requirements and are encouraged to consult our international
employment page http://linguistlist.org/jobs/jobnet.html. This page has been set 
up so that people can report on the employment standards of various countries.

Description:

Basis Technology Corp. is seeking to hire two native speakers of each of
the following languages: Danish, Finnish, Norwegian (Nynorsk), Norwegian
(Bokmal), Swedish.
 
This will be for a short term, temporary contracting assignment. Work will
be assigned per task, and the work start date will be determined. The
contracting position includes tasks such as localizing annotation
guidelines, and tagging files in one of these languages with information
such as names of people, locations, organizations, etc.

The candidate needs to have excellent command of English and at least one
of these languages. It is also imperative that the candidate be computer
savvy, know how to type their own language, and have high speed internet
access. In-depth knowledge about the syntax, linguistics, or previous
working experience with the language is a plus. The candidate needs to be
detail-oriented, be able to follow directions, and submit required work on
time.  

The work will be done remotely. Preference will be given to people who are
in Massachusetts, or at least the same time zone.  The pay is $25 per hour.
We need about 20 hours a week; others in the past have worked largely on
weekends, but that is not a requirement. If you are interested in the
position, please send your resume to Bushra Zawaydeh at
bushraz at basistech.com (see contact information below).
