Hollywoodite Is Hiring: The Site Is Looking For Great Writers To Contribute News Content!
October 22, 2012 by Hollywoodite
Hollywoodite is growing and, as such, is expanding its team to include interns who will be credited with their work.
We’re looking for smart motivated bloggers with initiative and the dedication to fill a three-month minimum commitment to a part-time intern position working Monday through Friday.
You’ll need to be over the age of 13, preferably with English as your first language (if it’s not, that’s okay, but please declare that on your resume). You can be from anywhere internationally, although preference may be given to people applying from North America (and perhaps Canada too) only because the content is 90% about American/ Canadian celebrities on this site.
You’ll be one of a team of interns working under the site owner. You’ll personally contribute at least FIVE posts per week. Every week. For at least three-months. You’ll be held to an editorial standard of which you’ll be informed in full upon hiring, and you’ll be appraised regularly.
You need good researching skills, communication skills, you’ll be original, and you’ll need to be well-informed about Hollywood; television-based gossip in particular.
You do not need previous paid writing experience to write for the site. However, you will need to provide links to writing samples (if you don’t have an existing website for your samples, which should preferably be celebrity-based, perhaps open a free blog and post some samples there and provide those links; if you do so, that free site will be checked for ownership, originality, and quality). It needs to be an online writing sample, though, to demonstrate basic publishing skills.
Please apply through the contact form using the drop down “Internship” (candidates who do not select that dropdown may not be considered and people who do not provide multiple links of their online writing samples will not be considered). Please explain why you would like to write for Hollywoodite, why you would be a good fit and what you have to offer, provide any writing references (writing references ONLY and only if you have them), and then paste your resume into the contact form. No attachments are being accepted at this time. Do not apply in the comments.
There is no deadline to apply for the internship at the moment.
No full time or paid positions are available at this time. Although, if there’s paid work down the line, ONLY interns/ former-interns will be eligible to apply (subject to change).
