MLBTR is seeking a person for a data entry position. The job requires entering MLB transaction-related data into our database on a daily basis, as well as related quality control tasks. The job will generally require 10-15 minutes per day once you’re trained, but occasionally more. The timing of the data entry must be consistent: the previous day’s transactions must be fully entered by noon central time, seven days a week. Requirements for this data entry position:
- Consistent long-term availability to enter the previous day’s data by noon central time seven days a week. We would like someone who can stay in the position for more than a year, so if you anticipate your schedule changing and making it difficult to meet the requirements, please do not apply.
- Attention to detail. Data must be entered carefully and fully and double-checked for accuracy.
- Quality control. We want to ensure there are no errors or omissions in data from previous years, by checking against other sources.
- Inquisitive, critical thinker. If there are gray areas about certain transactions, we will expect you to inquire with the MLBTR team so we can resolve them. We will also be looking for suggestions on ensuring our data-related tools at MLBTR are useful, thorough, and timely.
- An understanding of the types of MLB transactions (DFA, extension, minor league signing, Major League signing, non-tender, waiver claim, etc.)
- The position pays $100 per month and starts as soon as possible. If you’re interested, please apply by emailing mlbtrdata@gmail.com and explaining why you are the best person for the job.
There’s a guy named Juan, who lives in Walton Hills, OH, who might be good for this job.
how much do i get paid if i automate the process? doubt you use MS SQL but it’s all mostly the same
We will not be giving the person a spreadsheet full of names and numbers to enter in somewhere…they need to look at each post on MLBTR, assess its transaction type, and see if any required data is missing and why. I guess technically some system could analyze the words in the posts and do it, but I’m not interested in that.
I sent an e-mail today. Let me know if you would like a resume. Thanks.
I guess the pay works out to about $3.33 a day. Does the successful applicant get stock options?
Or at 6-7+ hours a month, $13-15+ per hour…
$10-20 an hour, I’d say.
How does this work? As in where exactly would we be putting the data into?
Our database.
Also would you guys want like a small resume or just an email?
Sounds like a simple way to help out my favorite website, but I imagine I take too many vacations for this.
This is perfect, now I can recoup all the lost income I incur when I get fired for browsing MLBTR too much at work
Haha
hilarious BJ
What type of database knowledge is required? Any experience with a specific syntax needed?
No, we have a custom thing that you’d log into. There’s nothing tricky about it.
How do we apply?
If you’re interested, please apply by emailing mlbtrdata@gmail.com and explaining why you are the best person for the job.
Damn, this job sounds right up my alley, but I don’t think I’d be able to devote the necessary time as I’m actively searching for other jobs right now and I have no idea how much I’d be able to access MLBTR from work if I got a different job than the one I have 🙁
Hi Tim. Just emailed mlbtrdata@gmail.com. I’m happy to pass along a resume if you’d like. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sent you an email a little while ago. 😉
Man, it would be a dream to have a job baseball-related but I’m working the part time circuit and thus, can not guarantee that I would be available every single day at noon CST.
You don’t have to be available right at that time, the work simply needs to be done by that time.
*Like this status if you think I should be the data entry person for mlbtr.*
I wish I had the ability to commit to something like this. Get paid $100 a month for assisting a website you frequent a dozen times a day, anyways. Sweet. But I work two jobs and occasionally sleep.
Seems kinda underpayed…
Who wouldn’t like to get paid to do baseball related work??? I can read this stuff for hours!
When should we expect to hear back if we recieve the job? I’ve been checking my email hourly since I applied!
