- TIME: If there is a deadline for a task - it has to be met! Alternatively - say when is the earliest you can get it done. Chances are it will be OK to move it a day or so. If you realise that you are running late - let me know ASAP - tell me how much is done and when you expect the rest to be 100% finished.

- REPORTING: Unless stated clearly otherwise, at the end of each work day I expect a brief list of bullet points, listing your progress for the day (takes you only 5 mins and keeps us both on track).keep a schedule (probably in excel)of the tasks youare working on with a brief update of the progress to be sent on a weekly basis

- PAY: After a period of effective and productive cooperation we can review your rate and increase it according to growth of my companies and your contribution.

Please attach your CV and examples of work you have done related to the above.
