WRITER/EDITOR: This is basically an all-writing position and an opportunity to have your stuff be seen by our hundreds of thousands of readers. We are looking for writer/editors to join us on a regular blog posting schedule, which we can work out with you. Bloggers, freelancers, and layabouts welcomed.
INTERN: This position is largely writing also, which means you should be comfortable generating ideas and also working on a regular posting schedule. You will have a large degree of editorial freedom and will contribute directly to what goes onto the site. Interns with online advertising and marketing experience also desired. School credit can usually be arranged.
We cover a lot, so it would be good if you're down with what's happening in the realms of news, sex/sexuality, celebrity, gadgetry, music, movies, sports, girls, vices, and viral droppings. Or at least some of those realms.
We also smile upon people who have any of these powers. Please be sure to note in your email or resume:
Skill at the internet, including such hocus pocus as Twitter, Facebook, Digg (and its ilk).
Some familiarity with lad mags, high and low.
Willingness to post on weekends (though posts can be written in advance).
Smartness in your writing brain, flyness in your writing style.
These positions are NOT PAID. Yet! But there is real opportunity for compensation in the near future, especially after our forthcoming site redesign. And our success partly depends on you, so, I mean, you have to want it.
NB: Girls allowed if they're cool about it.
Just send along a resume, a few sentences about why you want and ought to be a part of this (specify WRITER/EDITOR or INTERN), and some short writing samples (two are enough!). Blog posts would be best. A link to your actual blog would be way best. The address is RuinOfManyAPoorBoy@gmail.com.
