WoW Insider is LFM!
We're looking to expand our staff here at WoW Insider with new people and fresh perspectives. Getting paid to play isn't just a pipe dream -- though in this case you at least have to alt-tab out and write about your experiences. Think you might make a good addition to our team? Well then, read on for all the details!
We're looking people with:
A passion for World of Warcraft. You don't have to love everything Blizzard does, but you obviously need to have an interest in the game.
Solid writing ability. (Basic spelling and grammar required -- and forming words without any numbers in them a plus.)
Prolificacy! We'd like someone who can commit to writing on a regular (daily!) basis.
We also require that you:
Possess a computer and a reliable Internet connection. If your computer can play WoW, you should be able to blog with us.
Have the software and knowledge to create and manipulate photos and screenshots. (Primarily resizing, fancier stuff if you feel like it.)
Know (basic) blogger's HTML.
Are eligible to work wherever you're writing from.
Are reachable outside of Azeroth -- via e-mail, IM, Skype, phone, etc. (No, I am not creating a level one alt just to track you down and ask you questions.)
Still think you're right for the job? Well, here's how to apply.
Send wowinsiderapply@gmail.com an email including:
A subject line including your full name
Your city and state
Your email address
Your instant messenger address(es)
A cover letter explaining why you're the right person for the job, including your background in WoW, current characters, and current objectives in-game
Three sample posts about World of Warcraft, in the style of a typical WoW Insider post
Three links to posts on WoW Insider that you feel best exemplify the sort of content we want here
