Motley Fool seeks a business reporter

The Motley Fool is looking for a great business reporter.

We want someone who has professional experience writing quickly, compellingly, and at volume: Think one to five articles per day on a fast-moving markets desk or business publication.

With support from our editors, you’ll look to report on and analyze the most interesting developments in business and the stock market each day. We want your articles to stand out with creative angles, insightful analysis, and original reporting that help give individual investors and regular readers key information.

Four things to note: 1) This is a contract position. 2) A medium-to-high-volume writer can easily make six figures per year. 3) Our writers tend to stay with us for years and years – many have been here a decade or two. 4) In a turbulent industry, our track record of financial stability stands out.

To apply, go here.
