Do you have a nose for business news and an aversion to PR handouts?
Are you naturally inquisitive about how people make money and why some firms thrive while others fail?
Could you readily ask a reinsurance CEO informed questions about industry trends? Or easily explain the relationship between interest rates, inflation and job growth?
Can you identify the human behaviours that drive economic trends, or turn a dry, 30-page annual report into a succinct and relevant story for television?
Do you have a winning personality that helps you to work effectively in small teams and accumulate and nurture contacts in key places?
Have you reported hard news, such as crime and politics, and covered major, live news events?
Have you embraced new media and are you excited about evolving formats and platforms for storytelling?
Are you willing to pack your bags, leave loved ones behind and move to a new country?
If so, you might be just the person we are looking for.
