Hi everyone Graham Day founder of GamEir here once more. I’m writing this because I’m interested in bringing on further contributors to GamEir who are interested in reviewing games, reporting on news in the industry and gain valuable experience going into the tricky world of journalism. The main reason is due to the increase in popularity of our site and we need more contributors
I can’t offer much – you won’t be paid as I don’t have a budget to actually pay anyone with but there are many benefits to avail of, for example:
- You will gain access to review opportunities for upcoming videogame titles
- You will get to have your voice heard being part of an award-winning website like GamEir
- You will earn experience that will help you in any avenue of journalism you wish to pursue
- You will have the opportunity to attend Irish conventions and interview the various talents at them
I’m looking to fill the following positions with enthusiastic people looking to help make GamEir the best videogame media outlet in Ireland:
- News Reporter – This position would be best suited to someone who is interested in the ins and outs of the industry who loves letting everyone know what’s going on in the world from the many rising esport leagues to the latest from the indie developers. A working knowledge of WordPress is an advantage but not essential as I’m happy to assist with the transition.
- Videogame Reviewer – This position is for those who have opinions and notions about the games they play. The person(s) who fill this position will get access to a wide range of titles from the AAA to the indie. A working knowledge of WordPress is an advantage but not essential as I’m happy to assist the transition. We are looking for candidates who have Nintendo Switch’s and Xbox One’s as we need more contributors with those particular consoles.
- Twitch Contributor – In the last year some of the contributors and I have taken to Twitch and we’ve quite enjoyed it. Our understanding is rudimentary, to say the least so if you think you can bring your own personality and flair to the role we would welcome you.
The main prerequisites of a contributor to GamEir are passion and drive and these should show in your writing and so if possible please send an example of any work you may have to my email at graham@gameir.ie
Applications will be accepted from today (the 1st of October) until the 25th of October. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
Stay tuned to the site and hey after Halloween we may see you on the other side.
