Preferred Skills & Qualifications

• Tech Basics: Familiarity with Google Sheets (or Microsoft Excel) and standard web research techniques.
• Attention to Detail: High accuracy when reading websites and transferring data into spreadsheets.
• Communication Skills: Strong written and verbal English communication skills (comfortable occasionally clarifying details via email or phone if needed).
• Self-Motivated: Able to work independently, manage a low weekly hour commitment reliably, and communicate progress.
• Education: Currently enrolled in high school, college, or a trade program (preferred, but open to all applicants).

What You'll Gain
