Cell Phone Website is looking for a freelance writer/reviewer (Any)

This position is suitable for college students, retail workers, freelance writers, and similar people who have flexible schedules that will allow them to write for us during morning hours.

The primary responsibility of the chosen candidate will likely be to scan the morning news and press release sources, and to write stories for the our website based on those news events when appropriate. Such stories will range from U.S. carrier news and litigations to new mobile phone and Bluetooth device announcements. Additionally, we want this person to help us with mobile phone and Bluetooth headset reviews as well as potentially attend press events and industry shows like CES and CTIA.

The core job requirements are as follows:
* The applicant must be a legal U.S. resident and live within the Philadelphia-New York corridor area. We need local access to the person that fills this position.
* The applicant must be at least 18 years of age. No exceptions.
* The applicant must be a native English speaker with the ability to write both with style and technical merit. Applications that show a lack of mastery of the English language will be discarded.
* The applicant needs to have a solid hands-on background with various devices and mobile phone platforms. Overall technical knowledge of other sorts, such as Internet technologies and electronics, is also desirable.
* The applicant should have reasonable GSM and CDMA coverage in his or her home/work area for device testing.

Other desirable, though not required, abilities or traits:
* Basic photography skills.
* A formal, job-based writing background.
* Basic skills with photo editing software such as Photoshop.
* Basic HTML skills.
* The ability to edit works written by others.
* The ability to read, write, or speak Korean, Chinese, or Japanese.

Any person that wishes to be considered for this position will need to be reliable, committed, and possess the ability to work independently. Our writers also need to be able to follow our writing style guidelines, check their sources, and proof their own work to a reasonable extent. While the work schedule is mostly flexible, the position requires that at least some time at the start of most weekdays be spent dealing with the daily news. Some flexibility will also be required of the employee from time to time when we are attending trade shows, in that we will often need support "from the home office" for work we are doing elsewhere. As touched upon earlier, the ability of the candidate to be able to attend evening press events in New York City and multi-day trade shows elsewhere, while not a requirement, makes their application all the more attractive to us.

This position pays a fee based on each post written. Most posts will be 200 words or less. Reviews will be longer (typically 1000 to 2000 words) and will pay on a different scale.

Potential applicants should email a brief introduction letter along with a copy of their current resume. Links to previously written online material would be appreciated as well.
