Do your friends come to you for advice on their next big tech purchases? Do you have multiple tech blogs bookmarked on your computer? Can you explain what a smartphone is… in terms your grandmother would understand?
If so, you might have the chops to work as a staff writer at our consumer technology website. We’re an online tech and lifestyle magazine covering everything electronic – from the latest Apple iPad developments to innovations in the world of hybrid-electric vehicles. Our content spans from news, expert analysis and guides to in-depth reviews.
Right now, we’re looking to round out our news bureau with a staff writer based on the east coast who can work from home. We need an early riser who can deliver a rapid-fire summation of unfolding news events for our site. Writers will typically work from press releases and other official announcements to strip out the PR fluff and drill down to the facts, injecting commentary, references to other relevant news, and occasionally contacting experts and other sources for commentary and clarification. You’ll be writing multiple short, to-the-point news briefs every morning, typically about 300 words in length.
Compensation will be $20 per hour, with the expectation you’ll be able to produce a defined amount of content within that time.
Qualifications: Writers will need a basic familiarity with consumer electronics and tech. You don’t need a working understanding of TKIP encryption and Perl, but if you don’t know who Steve Jobs is, this job is not for you. Besides allowing you to write informed articles, a familiarity with tech will help you weed out boring and irrelevant news from the vital content that tech readers crave.
Keeping a conversational, informed and engaging tone is essential. Many competing tech sites have access to the same sources you will have – like press releases – so we’re counting on your voice to make our news exceptional.
Because the world of tech moves quickly, many of your stories will hit the Web prior to making it through an editor. You’ll need a proficiency in AP Style and an eye for detail and mistakes to produce publishable content without anyone holding your hand.
Press releases flood out like clockwork every morning, so you’ll need availability from roughly 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. EST to write.
A sense of autonomy and responsibility are essential. After we show you the ropes, you’ll be expected to pump out news more or less on your own.
How to Apply: Please send us a resume, cover letter and three published clips of your choosing.
