How to apply
First, polish your CV and be sure to include any relevant experience in SEO, social media, marketing and PR. Following that, write a covering letter telling us why you’re a good fit for Caliber, being sure to include mention of the three strongest SEO campaigns in the past year and a critical appraisal of why they succeeded (this can be separate from your covering letter if you prefer). Then pull together sterling examples of past SEO campaigns that you’ve been involved in and include them with your application which can be sent to hr@caliberi.com. Then make sure your two references don’t mind being contacted by us and you’re good to go.
