About You

You’ll Be Highly Rated If:

• You have the reporting chops. You have at least five years of reporting experience, in addition to a Bachelor’s Degree.
• You’re a self-starter. You can work independently as well as collaboratively across multiple platforms and with other writers, editors, and members from a variety of departments.
• You thrive in a fast-paced, multi-faceted environment. You will be working on multiple projects at once, likely across multiple platforms.
• You’re deadline driven. You’re capable of turning around engaging, well-written stories quickly, while balancing competing demands and priorities.

You’ll Be One Of Our Top Picks:

• You have a passion for helping others. You care about your reader, and you’ve published service-journalism articles that help readers make informed choices.
• You are obsessed with all things home. You have opinions (based on fact) about which appliances are worth the money, and you’ve thought deeply about safety, energy efficiency, water conservation, and other issues that affect the home.
• You possess journalistic curiosity and tenacity. You’re aware of the trends, but you never take them at face value. You ask how and why and what if; you’re dogged about tracking down the best sources; and you have a knack for finding stories that resonate with readers.
