Short-Form Reels Editor With Taste and a Sharp Eye (Experimental)

**This is not an AI-slop-job ad.** **Read or waste your credits.** I'm Tyler, Chief of Staff at InsideSuccess.TV. We're a TV production and streaming platform building the Netflix of Business TV. (Insert hype startup lingo, rapid growth, disruptive, etc.) I'm seeking someone driven who wants to learn and grow with me. I don't care about where you went to school, or your Upwork profile that claims you are great at everything. I care more about your mindset and how you think. I'm looking for someone that the only thing holding them back is an exciting environment. **Disclaimer** This is an intense, high-expectation work environment. It is NOT for most. We have high turnover. You will be thrown into a fire and expected to solve problems. Many will see this job ad and be rightfully irritated. But if you have a similar growth and entrepreneurial mindset, you understand these challenging environments tend to be where opportunity comes from. **About the Role** We need a part-time video editor for short form reels. Not a one-off gig. Not a single project. Someone who sticks around and learns our style. Strong aesthetic sense. This is the non-negotiable. I care about taste first, everything else second. Solid visual effects skills. Sound design is a must, not a bonus. You understand short form specifically. Not long form chopped down to fit. Short form native. You meet deadlines. This one is firm. If you can't deliver on time, this is not for you, no matter how good the work is. This is an experimental role. Idk exactly what it is. It is what you make of it. I just know there is a massive opportunity here for someone who can make people stop scrolling. **Requirements** 1. Strong aesthetic sense — the real kind. This is the main requirement. 2. Solid visual effects skills. 3. Sound design is a must, not a bonus. 4. You understand short form natively. 5. You meet deadlines. Every time. No exceptions. **Job Details** Rate: $7/hr This is part-time. 4 hours daily, Monday to Friday. Hours run on EST. The exact window gets coordinated with you, so there is flexibility on the when, but the four hours are consistent. This is ongoing part-time work, not project by project. Important: This is a work trial. My goal is to get you a raise. I want you to make as much money as possible. But it needs to be justified by value added. **How to Apply** Just answer the questions below. I'm not reading anything AI-generated. **Questions** 1. What is your dream job? Be specific. I know most of you don't know. So just pick something. No wrong answers. And don't say what you think I want to hear, because I promise you don't know. One sentence. 2. What is 1 thing you enjoyed learning about this week? Doesn't need to be work related. One sentence. 3. Why are you better or different than the other applicants? One to two sentences. 4. Share 1 favorite quote. Don't use AI. I'd rather you make one up and quote yourself. 5. Send 3 of your best short form edits. Links only. Don't write a pitch about how good you are. Just send the work and let it speak. 6. Who are you? Like why would you apply to a job like this? Don't say family or money, like what makes you tick? One to two sentences. 7. Tell me the creators you watch most and why. I want a read on your taste. Two to three sentences. 8. What do you edit in? Premiere, After Effects, DaVinci, CapCut, whatever your setup is. One sentence. 9. Anything else you want to share? Optional. **Interview Process** 3 rounds. Round 1: Intro meeting. General, getting to know you. Round 2: A task is assigned by the creative director. It is a short branded promo-style edit, similar to the kind of work you'd be doing day to day. It's a paid trial, $10, so you're compensated for the work either way. Round 3: You return with the completed task and present the final version. Whether you move forward depends entirely on how you perform on it. Thanks, Tyler
