Editor/Supp
Editor/Senior Features Writer X4
We have four journalism positions open: (1) Editor/Senior Features Writer
of an existing lifestyle/financial contract title (Sandton-based only); (2)
Editor/Senior Features Writer of a newly won lifestyle contract title (Sandton-based
only); and (3, 4) two positions for Supplement Editor/Senior Features Writer
on The Property Magazine in our Sandton and Cape Town offices. For all of
these positions you will be the ideal candidate if you: possess excellent
writing skills, good time management and superb organisational skills; are
friendly and personable; and enjoy a fast-paced, happy, humorous and energetic
team-based environment. Your career experience will demonstrate that you have
written for our typical reader, namely an intelligent, worldly individual
who enjoys the finer things in life, likes having his or her frame of reference
challenged or moved, and expects, in fact demands, to be taken seriously.
You will be able to quickly adapt your writing style towards the title or
section that you are working on (or the sub will hunt you down in the middle
of the night). You have good contacts, great references and are able to tune
in to the DNA of a project or title quickly. As a person you are enjoyed,
generally happy, personable, presentable and interesting. You are not bitter,
rude, inflexible and socially inept. We'll tell you more about us when we
meet, but for now we can tell you that as a team we're happy, energetic, fun,
funny, hard working, passionate, and that we thoroughly enjoy what we do.
Immediate availability required, although we're willing to wait for ‘The
One'. Sandton interviews taking place next week only - 2/3/4 February 2010.
