Title: RE: Nintendo World Report is Hiring!
Post by: WindyMan on September 14, 2007, 02:52:06 AM
We're looking for a few good staffers.  Details on new job openings inside!
 http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/newsArt.cfm?artid=14386

 Nintendo World Report wants you! We're looking for some fresh talent to take NWR to the next level in the video game news and information world, and we know there are a lot of people out there who are motivated enough to help make it happen. Are you one of them?    


Working at NWR requires the same effort and dedication that previous and current staffers have had to bring the site to where it is today. Serious dedication is a prerequisite, as is a good amount of free time. For all positions, it is important to know that all staff of Nintendo World Report work on a non-paid, volunteer basis only. It's hard work, but we do it because we love it, and because there are hundreds of thousands of people who rely on us for their every Nintendo need!    


Interested parties should carefully read the listings below and follow the instructions to apply. Serious applicants only, please.  Any applications submitted for positions not listed below will be ignored.  If you have previously submitted an application for a position below, or for a different position, and wish to reapply, you must resubmit your application.  If you have any questions about the positions below or about your application, please contact the Director.    


Currently open positions:
 Staff Writer
 Japan Correspondent
 Media Wrangler    



   


 

Staff Writer

   


NWR Staff Writers make up the heart of site.  They are collectively responsible for creating the bulk of NWR content, including news stories, preview coverage, hands-on impressions, game reviews, and site features assigned by section editors, along with any odd jobs required.  The regular workload for a Staff Writer is approximately one major article, a handful of news stories, and various site maintenance duties per week, although that number can vary depending on game and event coverage.  All work is expected to be completed in a timely manner.  Journalism writing experience, knowledge of journalistic practices, and previous writing experience is recommended, but not required for application.

   


Persons interested in the Staff Writer position must:    


- Be knowledgeable of Nintendo and Nintendo games
 - Possess strong writing skills and enthusiasm to improve them
 - Write critically and accept criticism and suggestions from NWR editors
 - Read and write fluently in the English language
 - Be a trustworthy individual who can complete tasks without constant supervision
 - Communicate well with others and attend online meetings whenever possible
 - Be knowledgeable of and passionate about Nintendo and Nintendo games, past and present
 - Have regular access to email and AIM instant messaging services for inter-staff communication
 - Bring creativity and fresh ideas to the site    


Although not necessary for application, the following would be very helpful:    


- Live in the greater Los Angeles, San Francisco, or New York areas
 - Be knowledgeable of all current video games, regardless of platform
 - Be knowledgeable of classic video games and game history
 - Be able to edit audio and video files    


Applicants based anywhere in the world may apply, but priority will be given to those in the United States and Canada.  The staff is currently lacking a Canadian presence, so any applicants from our neighbors to the north would be appreciated!    


Interested applicants should send an email to with the subject line Staff Writer Application Submission.  Resumes may be submitted, but are not required.  Include the following information in your application:    


- Your name
 - Your age
 - Your location (city, state)
 - Previous writing experience, if any
 - A summary of your gaming experience
 - How many hours a week you could dedicate fully to the site if hired
 - Why you are interested in this position    


Interested applicants must also submit the following writing samples as email attachments (.rtf or .doc only):    


- An original, informative news story based off recent or upcoming news which falls under our scope of coverage
 AND
 - A review of a game for a Nintendo platform released in the last six months, following the NWR review format and guidelines    


This position will remain open until filled by a sufficient amount of qualified candidates. Good luck!    



   


 

Japan Correspondent

   


Nintendo World Report's Japanese arm has many responsibilities.  Besides covering game events and new Japanese game releases, the Japan Correspondent assists the news staff with the latest from Japanese game magazines and other translation duties. The Japan Correspondent also helps the release dates/game profile editor with game information from the Japanese region. Japan Correspondents will also be called upon to write game articles and update news, much like a regular Staff Writer.  No prior experience necessary!

   


The duties and responsibilities of the NWR Japan Correspondent include:    


- Write at least one article (news, preview, review, etc.) for NWR per week, focused on the Japan region
 - Create a weekly report highlighting the Nintendo game releases and CERO game ratings in the Japan region
 - Be available to translate Japanese magazine and Internet articles into English
 - Perform various other tasks and site maintenance duties    


Persons interested in the Japan Correspondent position must:    


- Be knowledgeable of and passionate about Nintendo and Nintendo games, past and present
 - Have regular access to email and AIM instant messaging services for inter-staff communication
 - Possess strong communication skills in the English language
 - Possess strong writing skills and the enthusiasm to improve them
 - Write critically and accept criticism and suggestions from NWR editors    


While not required for application, the following skills would be extremely useful:    


- Live in Japan for most of or all of the year
 - Own a Japan region Wii and Nintendo DS and have regular access to play games on them
 - Have the ability to attend and report on game events throughout Japan
 - Have regular and quick access to Japanese video game publications, especially Famitsu Weekly    


Interested applicants should send an email to with the subject line Japan Correspondent Application Submission. Resumes may be submitted, but are not required.  Include the following information in your application:    


- Your name, age, and primary location in Japan
 - Previous writing experience, if any
 - A brief summary of your gaming experience
 - How much time you could fully dedicate to the site if hired
 - Why you are interested in this position and why you think you are a good candidate    


Interested applicants must also submit the following writing samples as email attachments (.rtf or .doc only):    


- An original, informative news story based off recent or upcoming news which falls under our scope of coverage.  The story need not be focused on news from Japan, but is preferred.
 AND
 - A critical review of a game for a Nintendo platform released in Japan in the last six months, following the two-page NWR review format and guidelines.    


This position will remain open until filled by sufficiently qualified candidates.  Good luck!    



   


 

Media Wrangler

   


Not a very good writer, but are a hard worker?  Want to help NWR any way you can?  The media wrangler will be a vital position in NWR's very near future, as we look to upgrade our website with new features, emphasizing screens, video, audio, and other media.  With so much stuff out there, we're going to need some extra help in the form of people dedicated to making sure NWR has the newest screens and video as soon as possible.  Media wranglers will be responsible for uploading screenshots and video to NWR (and YouTube) in a timely manner, as well as making sure current and popular games have media.  There will be little to no writing involved in this position.  No experience necessary!

   


Persons interested in the Media Wrangler position must:    


- Have a good work ethic
 - Be willing to keep working until the job gets done
 - Have an adequately fast Internet upload speed
 - Be a trustworthy individual who can complete tasks without constant supervision
 - Communicate well with others and attend online meetings whenever possible
 - Have regular access to email and AIM instant messaging services for inter-staff communication
   


Although not necessary for application, the following would be very helpful:    


- Have the ability to edit audio and video files    


Applicants based anywhere in the world may apply.  Interested applicants should send an email to with the subject line Media Wrangler Application Submission.  Resumes may be submitted, but are not required.  Include the following information in your application:    


- Your name
 - Your age
 - Your location (city, state)
 - Previous website experience, if any
 - A summary of your gaming experience
 - How many hours a week you could dedicate fully to the site if hired    


Because this is a non-writing job, writing samples are not required.  However, in order for us to select the most qualified candidates, applicants should submit the following, or something along these lines:    


- Something showing us that you're a hard worker, whatever you choose that something to be
 OR
 - Something telling us why you want this position, despite it being less “glamorous” than the typical writing job
 OR
 - Whatever else you think it will take for us to pick you over everyone else    


This position will remain open until filled by a sufficient amount of qualified candidates. Good luck!

Post by: that Baby guy on September 13, 2007, 07:33:17 PM
Hmmm...Watch out, forumers, I might have to try for this one!

Aww, but it does mean I'd have to get AIM.

I think I'll go to work on the application for the Communisty Manager and General ZodZookeeper tomorrow, in-between classes.

Would this Interim Staff be able to participate in podcasts, too?  I might like to try one of those...

Don't forget about Pale.  

Even though I have no spare time, I kind of want to apply for the interim community manager position.  My first action would be to bring back the SSBB Megathread.

Looks like my call for a recount worked. I wondered what was happening with the forum hot topic. I tried to make my own after awhile but I didn't have the authority. Hopefully that will now change.

I'd stop my application if it were confirmed that Ian were trying.

But, since he isn't so far, what game should I review?

Alien Syndrome! =D
Title: RE: Nintendo World Report is Hiring!
Post by: that Baby guy on September 14, 2007, 03:14:18 PM
I thought about it, but I haven't finished it yet.  I've been playing it with a friend who lives out of town.  I probably won't complete it until sometime next year. =/

Oh, wait, is it ok to review games you haven't finished?  Technically, I know the answer is yes, but ethically, is it the right choice?  I mean, I do have a good feel of the gameplay, and I've played with a few different character types.  I might choose that one, actually.

Edit:  I've finished the application part, mine is a little long, but only because it goes the extra mile.  I still have to do the mock Hot Topic and Weekly Forum Round-up, as well as the review, obviously.  Good luck to others who are seriously applying.  I hope the best man wins!

2x Edit:  I've done some thinking, and I'd really like to write a review of the upcoming Namco Museum DS.  The bad news to that is that it would take a week from today to have the review written, since the game doesn't come out until at best Tuesday, and I won't have time to fully experience it and create a review until Saturday on this particular week.  I'll send an email to Windy to ask if this late date is alright, but if you see this, Windy, before I email you, let me know here if this is alright, or if I need to write something up sooner.  I can be finished with the rest of the application by late tomorrow.

Post by: WindyMan on September 15, 2007, 11:25:24 AM
I wasn't planning on starting comparing applications for the CM position until a week or two from now.  You should have time to prepare your articles, after all!

Then again, if someone gives me something that's really good really fast, don't you think that would increase their chances of being hired?  Just saying.
Title: RE: Nintendo World Report is Hiring!
Post by: that Baby guy on September 15, 2007, 01:31:26 PM
Aww...Can I write a placeholder review, then follow it up with a secondary one?  I'd rather review something newer.  I'll get started on an Alien Syndrome review today, and see where that takes me.  I've already done quite a bit for the mock Hot Topic and Community Round-up.
Title: RE: Nintendo World Report is Hiring!
Post by: WindyMan on September 15, 2007, 03:16:50 PM
I don't care what game you review, whether you review something one week old or five months old.  I said that it would only be used to gauge writing skills.  Your review will not be published on NWR, so don't think reviewing an old game will disqualify you from anything.  If that was the case, I wouldn't have asked for a game released in the past six months!

Don't read too hard into this, people.
Title: RE: Nintendo World Report is Hiring!
Post by: that Baby guy on September 15, 2007, 03:20:58 PM
I know, I know.  I'd just like to take on something fresh.  I know it won't be published either, but after the you stopped accepting applications, I was going to copy & paste it into the reader reviews.  I'll just go with Alien Syndrome, since it's the game I've played the most lately, after Sonic 3.
Title: RE: Nintendo World Report is Hiring!

Post by: Crimm on September 22, 2007, 04:17:22 PM
I got mine in.  Wrote the Hot Topic and Forum roundup right after the email message body, but before the review.  That was more marathon writing than I've done in a while.
Title: RE: Nintendo World Report is Hiring!
Post by: that Baby guy on September 22, 2007, 04:19:45 PM
Actually, I've decided to cease creating my entry.  I didn't make a grade on a recent test that I wanted to, so I'm going to have to focus a little more on studying to make up for it.  Good luck to everyone else, now!
Title: RE:Nintendo World Report is Hiring!

So who got the UK position then?

I made a review for Super Paper Mario but ultimately decided to not go for it as there isn't enough time to put into doing coursework and a job and here.

I have put the review here.
Title: RE: Nintendo World Report is Hiring!
Post by: that Baby guy on October 30, 2007, 07:18:52 AM
I know someone who may be interested, but probably not.  I'll talk to him.  He recently said that he was thinking about getting into gaming journalism, so maybe he'll want to try to take an opportunity to get into it here.  It doesn't hurt that Billy and Bloodworth graduated from NWR academy, and that Karl has about seventeen hundred thousand weekly podcasts on various industry-related sites.

Anyways, I thought we had a new Japanese correspondent.  Did we scare this person away?

But I can't have 100% attendance because some days I just decide to be a recluse from the internet... what about if I give you guys my cell number?

No one is available every single day.  We do all share mobile numbers with each other in case of emergency.  I think you should apply and just be very upfront about your time availability.  Being on AIM 24/7 is not necessary; however, you are expected to participate in meetings, respond to emails promptly, and write content on a regular basis (at least on article per week).

There will be once NWR sucks the life out of me and kicks my burnt out husk to the curb. This stuff is tough! /cry

Alright, time to give this a shot. Currently writing my review and then onto a news story. Hopefully I'll be able to get them in pretty soon.

Funny enough, by stalking people on the Who's Online (http://nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php?action=who) section, I guessed this was going to happen.  Windy was searching through this thread yesterday.  :D

Looks like you met your goal, at this rate, the 2008 awards will be done before 2009 as well. You could save yourself sometime, and just give all the awards to Brawl.

Before I'm fired for discouraging people to apply, I can say that despite that project being huge I enjoy working on this site.

I can also say you probably wont have to do that kinda stuf.

They pay free in-store credit on crap games that you for whatever reason volunteer to play (i.e. Hommie Rollerz).

Sometimes, if you pretend to be dead, you can hide out and do nothing but review horrifyingly awful games. ;-)

Actually, you could get pretty popular doing this. Just look at all the leverage that Crimm got out of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon.

Also we hired Jared Rosenberg - Staff Writer.

I'm curious if there are any openings left for Staff Writers as well, because I'm very interested in joining and am in the middle of preparing my application for it.  Unfortunately, I do live in the exact opposite direction of the area desired in the listings (I live in Orlando, FL), but I think my writing ability's up to snuff and it's worth a shot.

Wellll... I know that behind the scenes, I'm never saying "no" to the chance for any new writers. Whether that means we'll be able to open another round of hiring or not depends on a range of factors though, like what's on everybody's plate and how much change we're already juggling and dealing with. I can tell you that we have talked about it though, and I, for one, eagerly await the momentous occassion of foisting off some of my workload on you! &P

Now that's a shame, considering for my application I'm writing a review of Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia that's rather scathing towards the game's treatment of its female protagonist.  ^_-
