We expect to have a number of different assignments over the coming months, and we hope you’ll consider becoming part of our special projects team!

Some details about the work:

This project consists of translating videos from Korean to English with between 6 to 24-hour turn-around times. Start times may vary, including overnight if you are overseas.

Competitive pay <$50 USD per hour>
Requirements:

Please submit your resume to narim.kim@productiveplayhouse.com

The main reason we are posting this job in Korea is because we need to cover ALL TIME ZONES. The client uploads the task in arbitrary schedule, and although a majority of our workforce is US-based, we need workers living Korea or any neighboring Asian countries to cover for tasks that uploads during sleeping hours for US-based workers. Please spread the word to your friends about this flexible yet well-paying part-time opportunity.
