Job ad of the day

Idaho · Oct 23, 2006

Couldn't put this on the jobs board because, frankly, it ain't a job. Just someone begging for free labor:

This is NOT currently a paid position but we want someone who can help make it BECOME a paid position. We can only guarantee tons of exposure and an incredibly creative environment where you can make your individual voice heard. Experience is not required, but consistency, determination, and a little bit of talent is.

CELEBRITY GOSSIP REPORTER We’re looking for soulless people with a passion for writing and a willingness to report on the latest celebrity muckity muck. It helps if you’re not ashamed to write about Angelina Jolie’s affinity for foreign babies. I know I would be. You’d need to be able to commit to writing and submitting 5 – 10 news articles of medium length EVERY week for us. A basic knowledge of HTML, a sarcastic sense of humor, and access to image editing software is a plus.

TELEVISION REPORTER Our TV reporters are people who don’t like to get up off the couch. We’re looking for folks with a passion for writing and a serious boob tube addiction.

Five to 10 articles a week for free? I can imagine the lineups to apply for those jobs.

I'll supply the link, but only if those replying to the ad promise to post their email applications (sans any personal identification, of course) on this thread.

Wouldn't that be a hindrance -- well, aside from the no pay -- in their to find someone who could break news or cover breaking news? Or does this TV reporter just report from the news he watches on TV?

Idaho · Oct 23, 2006

I think it means they want you to watch Entertainment Tonight, Extra! and The Insider as well as the E! network anytime those shows aren't on the air.

Yawn · Oct 23, 2006

"Soulless" is the key word.

Count me in.

Ace · Oct 23, 2006

I still have a small bit of soul, but it is withering fast. Maybe next month I'll be ready.

Kaylee · Oct 23, 2006

What credentials are needed to be a celebrity gossip reporter? A knack for knowing who's fucking who behind who's back? I'm intrigued.
