Job Details
<< Back to list of jobs| Writer - Consumer Reviews and Comparison Website - London (Ref: 2675) | |
| Short Description: | We're looking for a news reporter capable of demystifying consumer technology and navigating the public through the maze of deals offered by broadband providers and the sea of mobile phones on the market. |
| Location: | London |
| Salary: | c. £30,000-£32,0000 |
| Job Role: | Staff Writer |
| Description: |
Your role will be to report daily news as well as put together ‘how-tos' and consumer guides highlighting key benefits, applications and shortcomings of the deals. The focus is on producing authoritative and qualified advice in clear and unambiguous language working strictly to deadline. This is not an entry-level job - the successful candidate will need a minimum of two years' experience as a journalist in one or more of the following; mobile phone/broadband/telecoms/tech journalism on either a trade magazine/website or consumer website. You'll also need experience in online media including user generated content/podcasting/video. This is not a desk-bound job. You'll be required to attend press events and develop key contacts with senior industry figures and you'll therefore need to be a confident networker. Our client is an Ofcom accredited comparison website which features prominently in Google rankings. It is also expanding and has recently moved to new central London offices to accommodate its current 20-strong team. Interested candidates should accompany their cv with a review of their own mobile phone in no more than 150 words, highlighting the key points of interest to the average consumer. |

"Dear Allan
I was a little apprehensive about using an agency to find someone to replace me as Editor of Dorset Life, a critical appointment in a small but successful company. However, I have been more than happy with the outcome: a final shortlist of two excellent candidates, either of whom we felt we could have appointed with confidence.
I must thank you for your efficient and courteous handling of this search. It has been a pleasure to deal with you because of what came across as your genuine interest in what we were trying to achieve and your concern to find the right person to help us achieve it. Our dealings on the business side of our relationship have been nothing but cordial.
It have been an exhaustive (not to say exhausting!) process, but, largely thanks to you, an enjoyable one with a successful outcome."
