I’m leading the Digital Marketing class at General Assembly Atlanta starting Tuesday Jan 27. The class will take place every Tuesday and Thursday night through April 2 at GA’s location at Ponce City Market in Midtown.  The class is full, and we need a teaching assistant.  While there will be an occaision or two to actually lead the class, the main responsibilities for the TA are as follows:

  • handle administrative tasks
  • coordinate office hours 
  • planning outside-the-class activities, including:
    • field trips
    • panels
    • social events
The requirements for the position are:

  • At least 1 year of industry experience (should not be only freelance work) OR former student of class who has worked 3+ months
  • Fluency in all topics of the DGM course
  • Approachable and works well 1:1 with students, 
  • Organized – ability to manage calendar, student progress tracking, class resource organization, etc.
  • Proactive – takes initiative to make the program better
  • Strong team communication skills


It’s a sweet part time gig that pays a flat fee for your time, and you get full access to the entire Digital Marketing class, which is quite a value.  If you’re organized, positive, helpful, and have an unseemly liking to Google Analytics and spreadsheets, this one’s for you. Please DM me on twitter @kevsandlin or send me an email to kevinsandlin at gmail.  I’ll put you in touch with the GA folks to handle the particulars.

If not, will you help spread the word?  Class starts in 3 days!

  • Content + Images = Dope

    Good content is nothing without good images. It’s like PB&J. Or a bagel and schmear. Or popcorn and butter.

It’s the world we live in now:…
