Bleacher Report hiring for sports content distributor

Winos in SF make more than that.....

 

What is Schottey's take on this? He's in charge of the interns. I don't know why this job is based in San Francisco when he's in Florida.

 

$300 for a 40-hour week (actually less in all months except February) comes down to $7.50/hour. Minimum wage in California has been $8.00/hour since at least 2008.

 

Outing alert:

blog415 works for Bleacher Report.

 

I hope this lucky new sports content distributor can give us all a fresh take on the hottest WAG's!

Just in time for the Super Bowl!

 

Yeah, but it's an internship. Therefore rules don't really apply, do they?

I'd be interested to know how it will work -- if the intern will get school credit or not. If not, then something's wrong.

 

I have no experience creating slideshows or top 10 lists, can I still apply?

 

Bleacher Report is a scam. I started one of those internships for them. All they were interested in was getting web hits. Having me write slideshows that basically had already been done an hour before by 10 other people working the program. They just wanted a more relevant slideshow on it. Ever wonder why when you type something sports into Google or Google News basically everything that comes up is Bleacher Report? It's because they have so many unpaid or cheep paid and under qualified writers writing up a sh*t storm for them.

They require you to make your headlines super long so it hits on nearly everything. The only thing the site focuses on is getting people on the site. When they asked me to write some "hotties" slideshows, I was out of there.

Unless you want to add things like SLIDESHOW - Top 100 College Football Jerseys, or SLIDESHOW - Hottest Surfing Babes, to your resume, I'd suggest you look elsewhere.

And to touch on Blog415 posting "I saw an add," and he works for the site, that's just like them.

 

You can't go wrong when you're name is D Wizzle.

Back in the day, D Wizzle didn't care much for BR exploiting him.

He's been outed and he wasn't even in!

Interesting. SEems like a lot of people hate on Bleacher Report and yes, 14400 a year is not a lot in SF.
The thing is, they are a great company as far as being successful goes. They are one of the top 200 websites in the USA as far as traffic and hits and they have partnerships with many top sites and NHL com and UFC com etc.

I'm not pro BR or anti BR. I'm just stating the facts.

 

BR is not successful. Not even close yet. It's still taking in venture capital.

Are you still in middle school because $14,000 is not much anywhere?

In fact, it's illegal to pay that in California. A company paying 25 cents above the federal minimum wage deserves to get the idiot who will take this job.
