It’s a bittersweet day here at Spa Week Daily… our fabulous blogger Candace Amos just informed us that in two weeks, she will be moving on. Over the past 14 months she’s helped curate much of the content you’ve read here, from breaking the news that men care more about hair than boobs, to how to rock the camel trend for fall and neon-bright lips for spring, to the inspiring story of the 95-year-old who set a running record. We will miss her very much and wish her every bit of success in her career!
But that being said, out with the old and in with the new… Spa Week Daily is now hiring a brand new part time blogger/social media assistant. Please pass this along to anyone you think would be a great addition to the Spa Week team—someone whose stories you’d love to read here on Spa Week Daily.
The position is paid, hourly. The Spa Week headquarters are in Union Square, New York City. You MUST be able to work at least 24 hours per week, IN office. This is a position that will be part-time to start, with the potential to turn into a full time, salaried position. We are a very small department in a relatively small company, both of which are expanding rapidly, so we are really looking for someone who is excited at the opportunity to help us grow, and ultimately grow with us.
