Subject: Want to work at Obsessable? We're hiring!
Obsessable's quest is to make personal technology fun. We want to help
our readers empower themselves with the knowledge they need in order
to find the best tech for their lives and get the most out of the
stuff they already have.
It's a lofty goal, and we can't do it alone, so we need you! We're
hiring freelance news editors, feature writers, and product page
curators to work from home.
Regardless of the position, we're looking for people who can focus on
the fun and personal aspect to gadgets, not just the technical
details. If you think you can distill this stuff to its
easy-to-understand, fun-to-read elements then we want you!
You don't need reams of experience or volumes of bylines, but you must
be a reliable and diligent writer with a comprehensive understanding
of the world of personal technology, a fun voice, and a talent for
weeding out the geekspeak and arcane technical stuff to get to the
heart of the matter.
News Writers:
We're looking for a weekend editor responsible for the
minute-to-minute content on the site on Saturdays and Sundays, and
we're also looking for a couple part timers to help us stay on top of
things all through the week.
To apply, e-mail us apply AT obsessable DOT com with a brief
background on your experience in technology and writing for the web,
your availability and contact information, and three sample articles
in the Obsessable style.
Curators:
We keep a large database of product pages to help our readers make
informed buying decisions, or just to satisfy their curiosity. These
pages don't create themselves! We need more people to write
descriptions of products, and more still to research gadgets and
accurately record all their technical specifications.
To apply, e-mail us apply AT obsessable DOT com with a brief
background on your experience in technology and writing for the web,
and your availability and contact information. Description writers:
include three sample product descriptions in the Obsessable style.
Feature Writers:
We're looking for regular feature writers in a number of areas:
* Mobile, including cell phones and portable media players
* Digital living room (IPTV, home theater, HTPC, wireless, etc.)
* Mac computing
* Windows computing
* Digital imaging and video
* Software tips and tricks
* Hardware tips and tricks
* Web 2.0 and social media
To apply, send an email to apply AT obsessable DOT com with a brief
background on your experience in technology and writing for the web,
your availability and contact information, and 10 sample feature
topics relating to personal technology (if you're pitching us a
specific regularly running column, those topics should be unified
within your chosen theme).
