WCReplays.com is looking for a few more people for the Writing Department. At the moment, we have the following openings (number of positions in parenthesis):
<blockquote><li>Strategy Writers (2-3)</li>
<li>Interviewers (1-2)</li>
<li>Allround Writers (1-2)</li>
<li>Columnist (1)</li></blockquote><b>Strategy Article Writers</b> should be able to study and analyze various strategies and write in depth articles about them, making them more accessible and understandable to the public. While good playing skills is definitely a plus, it is not required as long as you have a good knowledge of the game and are able to do research and analyze the replays of top players to draw your conclusions.
<b>Interviewers</b> should master other formats than just the Q&A. Although we will assist you in choosing and finding interview subjects, you also need to be able to find and contact people yourself. Knowledge of the scene and the top-level players is therefore a plus. It is important that you are able to do some research on the subject so that you can formulate good and also critical questions that take us a bit further than just to the surface of the given interviewee.
<b>Allround Writers</b> should be able to write different types of material, like interviews, news articles and features. These positions are for those who like to write, and who do not want to limit themselves to one format only. While allround writers in general are free to choose their own topics, they may also be assigned to write about something in particular if necessary, so flexibility is important.
<b>Columnists</b> should be able to go into a particular topic that is some way related to Warcraft, and write a subjective article about it. You will not have to write all that much each time, but your column should present your view so that it gives food for thought and grounds for discussion. Humour is a plus, but not a must.
For all the positions, we are looking for people who can contribute on a regular basis. Working for the site is a lot of work, so it is very important that you like to do what you apply for. Good knowledge of the English language is obviously a plus, though material will be checked by an editor before publishing, so good writing skills are more important. Note that none of the staff members of WCReplays.com get any payment for their work, as this is a volunteer site.
If you want to try out for one of the positions, send your application within <b>May 4, 2004</b> to <b>applications@WCReplays.com</b>. Make sure you include the following:
<blockquote><li>Name, age, location</li>
<li>WCReplays handle</li>
<li>Related experience</li>
<li>Which position you are applying for</li>
<li>Why we should pick you over anyone else</li>
<li>One or more samples of your work</li></blockquote><b>Please take some time when writing your application. Remember that your application is your one and only chance to promote yourself and stand out in the crowd. Happy writing!</b>
