Avant Labs and Avant Research- Have you got what it takes??

In light of the recent launch for Avant Research (read all about it here Avant Research is here!! Napalm, SyntheSIZE, SuperCarb, etc.), we need additional support in the form of online representatives. This is the first time we've ever openly recruited, so this is kind of a big deal.

If selected, your role as a rep will include online representation of Avant Research at a variety of message boards and e-Communities. It may also include various other secondary activities at management's discretion.

As all of you are aware, we here at Avant Labs and Avant Research have the highest of standards in everything that we do. Accordingly, this process is far from your ordinary selection process for representatives. However, we must do it this way so as to ensure that we only bring people onboard who want to be here and deserve to be here. We will not simply pick just anyone because that would be unfair to both us and the selectees.

Selection criteria to evaluate your fit for Avant Research include the following (in no particular order):

1. You must be in good standing within the (online) bodybuilding community. If you're selected as part of our team, your reputation becomes our reputation and we aren't willing to sacrifice it for some plug looking to score some free loot.

2. You must have a stable, high speed connection and be available to post at least 5 days a week, for a few hours daily. Frequent activity is critical to ensure timely responses and quality customer service.

3. You must be a good communicator. Anyone can cut & paste cookie-cutter replies thrown together for common questions, but that's not our style. We're dedicated to service on the individual level and it will be required that each concern be treated uniquely tailored to the individual circumstance.

4. A formal background in science, communications, or business is preferred, but will be overlooked in the case of exceptional individuals. Dually noted should be that selection is not guaranteed for those with the aforementioned educational background. According to our philosophy you will be judged on an individual basis.

5. You must register at the Mind & Muscle forum and actively contribute to this community here at anabolicminds.com AND our community at M & M. Your activity at both will be integrated into your evaluation. You MUST do this as a part of your evaluation so that we can see how well you fit with our standards of excellence. If you don't register at M & M and actively contribute, in the same way that you contribute here at anabolicminds.com, you simply won't be picked.

7.You must be down with the catch.

The catch? Have I yet to mention that? Hold onto your knickers.

In true Avant fashion we're going against the grain of traditional recruitment methods, as stated above. We will be hosting a recruitment contest (in fact, its survival of the fittest in its purest form) where potential candidates for the intern/representative positions will be subjected to a 4 week evaluation and probationary period, in which you will go head-to-head with your peers. The 2-4 individuals that demonstrate the finest qualities in the above listed selection criteria will be selected and adopted as Avant staff. If selected you will be compensated for your efforts during the recruitment period, so we suggest you leave it all on the field and show us what you're all about. Prove to us your worth in Avant Research Supplements .

Basically, show us how intelligent, knowledgeable, and well-spoken you are here and at M & M by contributing to various discussions.

So, if you're game and think you have what it takes to be part of the most innovative and dynamic supplement company out there, post here a short bio, where you been, where your going, whatever you think will provide us enough insight to assess your personality and potential value to the company.

After that, head over to and mindandmuscle.net/forum, register, (under the same name you have here), and start contributing. Of course, you must continue to contribute here at anabolicminds.com, too. Four weeks from now, we'll announce the winners.

Trust us, in the end, it will be well worth going through this. All current Avant employees started out as representatives.

Best of luck to the participants, its going to be a fun ride.

Remember, top 2-4 contributors (in quality, not necessarily quantity) to both here and M & M will be picked.

Ask questions if you have any.

Begin.

[rpen22]

This sounds like a sweet gig. I may have to throw my name in the hat and write a short bio when I get back from class.

Hello there Avant Labs... Hopefully this is what you're looking for...

My name is Kyle Anthony and I have been weight-training for 8 years. I started lifting weights at the age of 16 and I was gearing my training towards size and athleticism (mostly sprinting). After graduating high school, I attended a 2 year college and began studying biology, but shortly after I changed my major to psychology. At the time I had started working for Cytodyne as a customer service rep. When the ephedra lawsuits hit the fan, I got a job at Bioquest Pharmaceuticals and Prosource.net supplements. I transferred out of my 2 year school as a Phi Theta Kappa high honors student over to RSCNJ. I continued to excel and get my 4 year degree in psychology with a heavy focus in psychopharmacology. During my time at the 4 year college, I held jobs as a weight equipment technician for such brands as Cybex, Body-Solid, Hoist, and True. I decided to get my PFT certification through NESTA when I finished college to make some money at the gym that I began working at. I am well-versed with almost every supplement that's out there and I know how they work. I'm an extremely logical person and when I don't have authoritative knowledge about something, I usually rely on my keen sense of logic. When logic fails or when a problem continues to push my suspended judgement, my instinct comes into play. I don't claim to be the authority on everything or much of anything, but when it boils down to it, my knowledge and first hand experience with all kinds of training, supplementation, nutrition, and habitual lifestyle modification, is outstanding and more than helpful.

Remember- all interested candidates must contribute here and at M & M. It's not enough to just contribute at one site.

Sir Savage, will you force the winning contestant to wear Sean Sherk banana hammocks as well?

[Sir Savage]

Yes. Yes I will.

Thats hawt.

This is a cool opportunity. And an innovative method as usual from Avant.

[rpen22]

This is a great opportunity, so I might as well try to get in on this too.

Anyways, my name's Ryan. I'm currently a Kinesiology major in my third semester at Arizona State, however I've recently decided to change directions a little bit and pursue a degree in Nutrition(Dietetics) instead of Kinesiology. I recently(up until school started) worked for a supplement wholesaler/distributer in Gilbert, AZ which was fun, but I had to prioritize school first. I'm an NPC bodybuilder and just recently competed in my first show in March at the 2007 NPC Max Muscle Natural Western, here in Phoenix, where I placed 5th out of 14 in the Novice Middleweights. I already am an Inner Circle member at M&M, however, thus far, I have just used it to take advantage of the wealth of knowledge over there and have not contributed yet.

Let me know if you'd like to know anything else, and I will definitely start posting more at M&M.

Thanks for the opportunity, Avant!

Hey there Avant Labs!

Ok so here goes the bio...

My name is Griffin Davenport I'm 20 years old have have been seriously working out for a little over three years. While in the meantime I was a fitness instructor at a local YMCA. Just in the past year and a half I became familiar with forums that talk about supplements and workingout. I don't have a lottttt of experience with different supplements, but I like to do research and find out what exactly I want/need to take...knowledge is power. Right now in my life I'm supposed to figure out what I'm going to do with the rest of my life career wise. I have always seen myself doing something in the field of exercise, whether it be owning my own gym or even my own product line. Here on this forum, as well as a forum based on my car's model, I try to lend a hand to anyone asking for help. I like to share the wealth of knowledge and I also ask for help myself. If there is anymore information you want to know, or anything I left out please let me know!!

Thanks!
