  • Idea generation and collaboration: Keep fresh ideas flowing and work with others to shape ideas into compelling stories that connect with readers across the region.
  • Excellent writing and communication chops.
  • Top-notch organization skills, ensuring audience needs and deadlines are met.

Requirements:

  • Familiarity with AP Style and some news writing experience.
  • Awareness of media standards around fair use and accurate citation for content.
  • Knowledge of web and social media analytics tools, content management systems and search optimization platforms.
  • Experience editing video for social media platforms.
  • Basic knowledge of HTML.
  • Sound news judgment and strong understanding of local content.
  • Ability to work effectively in a small organization that emphasizes teamwork.
  • Demonstrated success working in a deadline-driven environment.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
