ARROW IN
THE HEAD is looking to hire someone who could write 1-2 HORROR DVD
NEWS updates for our site every week. The updates would be incorporated into
our front page headlines and include new DVD horror releases, the most recent spec
info, upcoming covers and menus and the latest in all major horror DVD announcements. Our column would likely follow in the footsteps of what our evil Stepfather
site JoBlo.com
has been doing for a while now. Here’s an
example. If you think you’ve got what it takes to fulfill the gig, keep reading and apply
below.
Position:
Horror DVD News Editor
What it is exactly? You would
be in charge of finding, writing and putting together 1-2 HORROR-RELATED DVD NEWS reports every
week. The person we hire for this gig would be asked to scour the Net for the
latest horror DVD scoops and put them together in an entertaining and informative
manner. It’s all about content here, but personality goes a long way on our site
as well…
Do I need to be living in a
certain area to get this job? Not at all. This job is open to anyone from
any country, any city, any street, any graveyard, whorehouse or planet. As long as you’ve got a solid
connection to the Internet, email and can surf…you are a likely candidate.
How much does this job pay?
Unfortunately, we cannot afford to pay anyone at this time, but you will
certainly get your writing skills displayed to the world, receive an extra cool
new email address which ends in @joblo.com and possible “perks” from
yours truly. Bottom line: you’d be doing it for “the love of the game”, not the
green.
What is
required of this post?
You must be serious about your
application, the vacant position and be over the age of 18
You must be an excellent writer,
bar-none. If you send us an email with spelling and grammatical errors, it
will be chucked
You must LOVE, and I stress this
word again…LOVE horror movies, and even more importantly…Horror
DVDs!
Preferably, the candidate should
know the basics of .html and graphical programs such as Photoshop (to crop
pictures, etc..) You would be in charge of putting together your articles.
You must be able to commit to
this job for at least a period of 6-12 months
You must be wildly familiar with
all of the top DVD websites on the Net, most of which you’d utilize to put
together your weekly HORROR DVD NEWS reports. We would also provide you with
information on studio-related DVD news websites, as well as all pertinent
press releases, etc…
How do I apply?
Send us a direct email at
horror-dvd-editor@joblo.com and include in it
why you think you would be ideally suited for this post (you got to
really sell us with shit to back it up as as well!). Also, include your full
name, age and resume (if you’ve got one), as well as a few writing
samples and if you REALLY WANT THE GIG, an example of what you can write up as
said HORROR DVD NEWS REPORT. Furthermore, if you’ve already worked on any other
website, please provide us with the required URLs so that we could check ’em out for ourselves. JoBlo.com/Arrow in the Head currently receives over 1.7
million unique visitors every month. You want your writing out there…this is it!!
