    This job posting will go out on Craigslist and several other job posting websites next Monday but I thought it would be best to put it out to members here on IDO first. We’re growing like mad and we need to add a camera operator / editor. If you like working outdoors and you have some experience with video equipment… or just think you have the passion and work ethic to keep up with the IDO Team… this might be the perfect job for you!

    ————————————————————–

    In-Depth Outdoors is looking for a highly-motivated entry level video camera operator and editor to join our production team. In-Depth Outdoors is a fast growing media company specializing in documenting anglers and hunters pursuing fish and game across the Midwest and Canada.

    • Applicants should possess some experience using professional video equipment including camcorders, audio recording equipment, monitors, sliders and jibs.

    In-Depth Outdoors is willing to train the right candidate to perform expected duties. This position is initially offered as a salaried, part-time position with compensation based on applicant’s experience and hours worked weekly.

    This position is intended to grow into a full-time, salaried position as the applicant’s skill set matures to the point where it matches the stated job description.

    If it was only on weekends, I would do it for free. Wish I could have found a job like that 25 years ago. What a great opportunity for a young person with drive.

    Good for you James it has been many trials and tribulations, and a lot of hard work, and long long hours. I am so happy to see your business growing and gaining ground. It is a tough business you are in.

    Hats off to you Sir.

    I have an extreme Passion for the outdoors, especially fishing. I’m 18 years old, and ever since I was young I’ve wanted to be involved in the fishing world. I want to run my own guide service, tv show, or even a local baitshop. I’ve seen almost every episode of IDO and some of them have became the people I respect when it comes to fishing advice. The only qualification I’m missing from this application is I have no video/editing work what so ever. Other than that I feel like this would be a pretty great job
