What kind of skills is CAA looking for?

• Self-starter: part of working in a small team requires someone who will take initiative. We are looking for someone who will own their tasks and projects, and is not afraid to ask questions.
• Eager to learn new things: working in a small team also requires the ability to adapt and take on new tasks – even with little to no experience. We are looking for someone who is not afraid to take on new challenges.
• Creative: CAA’s audience is as diverse as Canada itself. With more than six million members of all ages that spread from coast to coast, our challenge is to find new and innovative ways of communicating our message. We are looking for a creative mind willing to explore different communications tactics – for example, building infographics or other social materials.
