Easy Job for the Write Person
That was the way the ad was worded, I swear to you. And this was no employer trying to be cute – this was an ad trying to justify the low payment.
In fact, I’ve compiled my Top Five Clues that it’s a low- to no-pay gig. Look for the following:
· An extensive list of freelancer skills and education
· “Easy job for the right person”
· “Looking for young, energetic writers”
· “If you’re looking to gain exposure/clips/experience…”
· “Get in on the ground floor of this amazing new business/web venture/opportunity…”

My favorite is a variation on your second: “This is an easy job for someone who (more often that) knows what they’re doing.” As if I’m in the habit of applying for jobs where I have no idea what I’m doing. Anybody need a non-trained brain surgeon? I hear they’re well paid.
Yep. I think you’ve got it pegged right. Good insight here.
