You will work along with Derek and Justin on the frontpage news. You will be required to research news items and write coverage for TechSpot. Several samples of such work can be seen on the frontpage, we are expecting similar quality, quantity (avg = 125 words per post), and style of posting. This position requires ~2-3 hours of work, 3-5 days a week. We don't require you work all 2-3 hours straight, but preferrably during 7am-7pm Eastern Time.

2) Contributing editor
This position is exclusively being offered for taking care of TechSpot's Buying Guides (unfortunately Rick who used to work on them has been off for quite a while, again). You will be required research on your own for content for the guides, you will also receive assistance from the staff. You can find samples of such work here. This position does not require daily work however we are expecting at least one guide update per month. This may take anything from 5 to 10 hours per month.
