Our family of websites includes Hoops Rumors, MLB Trade Rumors, and Pro Football Rumors. Later this year, we plan to start covering NHL transaction-related news with a brand new website. We are now taking applicants for part-time writers at our upcoming hockey rumors site. The position pays hourly, and we will be hiring multiple people. The criteria:
- Availability to work at least 10 hours per week covering NHL news.
- Exceptional knowledge of all 30 NHL teams, with no discernible bias. Knowledge of transaction-related concepts.
- A high school degree is required, and further education is preferred. Please include your highest completed level of education in your application.
- Writing experience is necessary, and online writing experience is preferred.
- Attention to detail and ability to follow the MLBTR/Hoops Rumors/PFR style and tone.
- Ability to analyze articles and craft intelligent, well-written posts summing up the news quickly and concisely.
- Ability to use Twitter, TweetDeck, and an RSS feed reader such as Feedly. In general, you must be able to multitask.
- Experience with social media, especially Twitter.
- If you’re interested, email prohockeyrumorshelp@gmail.com and explain how you stand out and qualify in a couple of short paragraphs. Please attach your resume to the email. We often receive several hundred applications, so unfortunately we will not be able to reply to each one.
Honestly it is somewhat surprising you guys went with Football before you did hockey, obviously Football has the massive popularity, but transaction wise Hockey is up there (definitely more then football) probably on par with Basketball. Hope you guys find some good writers, I look forward to getting some more dept knowledge on not only transactions but cap/trade rules and what not.
