A strong understanding of newsletters, SEO and best practices for web is considered a bonus, as is familiarity with platforms like WordPress, but support and training will be provided.    Our candidate is a team player, willing to work with colleagues to do investigative pieces or larger projects, and able to work independently, as this is a work-from-home role.

Report and write stories for our website, as well as tailoring content to meet the varying needs of our platforms. 

Skilled with using social media to find sources, story ideas and topics of interest to the community each day and respond to explain why these talking pieces are important to NL 

Strong phone skills, as you may be reporting from a distance. 

Knowledge and experience filing access to information requests considered an asset. 

Respond quickly to stories that are important to our readers, turning around pieces that will help grow readership online by providing context, analysis and explanations. 

Initiating and developing ideas for enterprise stories and investigative projects.

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.
