Let me make something EXTREMELY clear… Full-Time means Full-Time. This is NOT an easy “work-at-home job” where you can relax, casually spending your time blogging at your convenience. We’re looking for a go-getter who wants to go above and beyond the expectations. We’re looking for someone who takes pride in their work and wants to spend as much time as possible helping Phandroid become the greatest website on the planet.
We all have social lives – after all we need somewhere to use all those social networking apps – but we want to find someone DEDICATED to and MOTIVATED in taking Phandroid to the next level.
How to apply:
- Send an E-Mail to jobs[at]phandroid[dot]com
- Copy and paste “Full-Time Writer/Editor” in the subject line… without the quotes
- Tell us your name, age, location and a little bit about yourself
- Tell us your work history and why you are perfect for the job
- Tell us how much time each week you can dedicate to Phandroid
- Copy/Paste/Link us (no attachments) to 1-3 related writing samples in the Phandroid style (minus the typos)
- Convince us that you’re the “go-getter” we’re seeking!
- Please TAKE YOUR TIME in submitting your application – we’re looking for quality of applicants, not how quickly you can show your interest/urgency
We’re anticipating a large quantity of feedback and simply cannot respond to every applicant we get. We want to thank everyone in advance for their interest and we’ll follow up with potential candidates in the near future.
I would love to do this, but I’m a terrible writer.
Hire one of those well known iphone trolls to write fake anti-android articles. You will get insane hits and the servers will melt down as people around the world — the one’s who survive the initial shock, anyway — furiously hit the reply button.
I would rather be a part time contributor doing occasional app and phone reviews. Is this an option?
@Josh – to each their own!
@Snupples – LOL good old iPhone-lovin link bait. Gotta hate it.
@Everyone Else – I’m closing the comments now. If you’re interested by all means apply, but I have a feeling I’m going to be overwhelmed with applicants and don’t want the burden of sifting through comments as well. Especially in fear of trolls taking over!
Looking forward to everyone’s interest and thanks to every last one of the Phandroid readers… Trolls Included!
