The posting

Position: Journalist Position Type: Full Time (Existing Vacancy) Location: Remote in Fredericton   The Company: Postmedia is a Canadian news media company representing more than 110 brands across multiple print, online and mobile platforms. Award-winning journalists and innovative product development teams bring engaging content to millions of people every week whenever and wherever they want it. This exceptional content, reach and scope offer advertisers and marketers compelling solutions to effectively reach target audiences. We are always on the lookout for talented individuals to join our team.    The Opportunity: Working remotely in New Brunswick with one of Postmedia’s news teams, ideal candidates are graduating students or recent graduates. Enterprising self-starters and team players, they have a sense for stories that resonate with a diverse readership. A key asset is the ability to use digital tools to break and develop stories and ideas. Successful candidates will work to tight deadlines covering a wide range of news and other subjects.   This full-time reporting position under the collective agreement will be assigned to the Fredericton Daily Gleaner.   Provision may be made by mutual agreement for assignment to other of Postmedia’s newsrooms. Some weekend and statutory holiday work may be included.   What you’ll do:

Develop content to engage audiences across several platforms tailored to meet the varying needs of web and mobile audiences. Have story ideas daily, a job essential along with the flexibility to quickly pivot to other newsroom priorities to meet changing needs. Use social media and other digital tools to uncover what’s breaking and what readers in real time are talking about which quickly needs attention. Cultivate sources to break stories and help set the news agenda. Work with digital teams to create interactive content, including text, photo, video and other multimedia elements that both engage and enrich readers.

  Who you are:

A graduating journalism school student or graduate, or a candidate from a related field. Newsroom experience is an asset, but you have the ability to quickly layer and prioritize what needs to be done to quickly move up the job learning curve. Flexible to work effectively in breaking news, features and short form, along with non-traditional story formats. Hungry to make the most of a chance to work in a daily newsroom with top-notch journalists and eager to show what you can do to help by collaborating with colleagues. A digger with natural curiosity, not satisfied with pat answers; always looking for hidden story angles and with a talent, or developing one, for explanatory journalism. A reporter interested not just in what happened or is happening, but also why and how, with the ability to concisely convey that added meaning to readers. Experience and strength in video, podcast presentation and other digital tools is an asset.  A valid driver’s license and access to a personal vehicle are also assets. Bilingualism in English/French is an asset

  If you are interested in this opportunity, please apply with the following information in one document. 

A cover letter explaining why you are the best candidate.  A résumé.  Three samples of your best published work, if any (samples should show a range of work and an ability to handle complex subjects).  At least two signed references, to be included in your application (please do not send separately as we cannot guarantee that they will be matched with your file).  We thank in advance all applicants for their interest, however only those candidates will be contacted. Only candidates legally eligible to work in Canada will be considered. No phone calls or agencies please.

  Compensation: Employment offers presented to the selected candidate are based on a combination of qualifications, experience, responsibilities of the role and the candidate's location.  This is a unionized position subject to the terms and conditions of the collective agreement. The starting salary listed in this job posting is based on the rate outlined in the collective agreement. Offers will be made based on the candidate's qualifications and experience. Union start rate: $16.82/hour, up to $33.64 based on experience.

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.
