And by hiring I mean I need people to contribute for nothing! Even though it seems like I’m always “hiring” (it’s non-paying just in case you’re wondering) I was in good shape and not taking on any new contributors, but unfortunately I had one flake on me and the other, long-time Editor Matt, is leaving to concentrate on awesome things happening in his personal life. Good luck, bud!
So that means that there’s now a position available as an Editor as well as a contributing writer. Both positions require commitment, you need to be able to commit at least five posts per week to the site, either as introduction pieces or posting new music that’s coming out on a daily basis, and as an Editor you’ll have control over publishing your own posts and editing, scheduling, and publishing others’ too. You also need to know how to use WordPress as I don’t have the time to walk beginners through how to use it, although it is very easy to pick up. You also need to have immaculate grammar…..I’m a Nazi when it comes to grammar. You could call me a grammar Nazi.
If you’re interested get in touch (admin at listen before you buy dot net) with the information below:
- Name
- Location
- Top five albums of 2010
- Top five albums of 2011
- Last.fm account if you have one
- Two example of your written work (if you don’t have any, write up a mock piece on a song, album, or new band)
Once I wade through the submissions I’ll let you know if you made the cut or not (I’ll get back to you regardless).
Thanks for showing an interest, and if you haven’t checked out Frank Ocean’s latest mixtape “Nostalgia, Ultra”, then below you can hear the best track from it, “Swim Good” so your visit isn’t completely wasted.
