We are looking to add quality to our team by hiring writers based in New York. You should be available to attend events in New York City so we are searching for people living within reasonable commuting distance. If you are passionate about mobile technology - anything from smartwatches through tablets to smartphones (and even digital cameras) - and you're good at writing compelling content - you may as well be up to the task. You'd be expected to actively contribute fresh content to GSMArena.com. That includes reviewing smartphones, writing news and blog articles and doing research on technology topics. We're looking for a creative, knowledgeable and self-driven individual to help us better cover the stuff going on while we're after-hours here in Europe. This means you will (eventually) have more freedom to choose what to write about and how to write about it, but it also means you'll have more responsibility. You will be working from your own place. This means you should definitely have your own computer and a reliable, fast Internet connection. We expect the following minimum: Previous experience in writing for an online or print publication and demonstrable writing skills (we value a clear, concise and engaging style) Profound knowledge of mobile phones and tablets Image and video editing skills Advanced computer skills Attention to detail and respect of deadlines Web research skills We would favor candidates who: Have experience producing video content for YouTube or similar platforms Are willing to work during the weekends Have basic knowledge of HTML coding We offer: Competitive pay Being part of a globally renowned, industry-leading online media company Flexible working hours To apply, please send us your resume (pdf or doc) describing previous occupations, interests and detailed contacts including an IM address at info@gsmarena.com with the following Subject: JOB-NY. We'll only consider US-based candidates, please do not apply if you reside elsewhere. Please make sure to include samples of your writing as either links to online sources or attached as a file (pdf or doc). If you don't have anything at hand, just pick some tech topics from the past week and prepare two short news articles of about 200 words each. We would also welcome a short but meaningful cover letter describing what got you interested and why you'd like to work for us. We'd love to hear from everybody but we'll only contact the short-listed candidates.
