Over the past few weeks, it should be quite obvious to all that I'm not around as much as I should be, site-wise, and for that I can only say "sorry". I am trying to be around, but do eventually get sidetracked doing other things and before you know it, it just all gets dropped by the wayside. It's something Mark happened to do quite often prior to me, so maybe it's something that happens to all RadioSEGA owners...No idea.
Anyway - I'd like to get a couple of new staff members in to compliment the people we already have. I'm posting this on the forums first to see what sort of reaction we get, with a view to expanding it onto the main website and social networks within the next few days, should I need to. I'm specifically looking for the following -
News Writers (Including Features, if you fancy)
Game Reviewers (Both recent & retro)
Media Team
Read on for a bit more info on each role...
NEWS WRITERS
In this role, you'll be responsible for sourcing and posting news on the RadioSEGA homepage in a timely fashion, including relevant screenshots/header images/trailers where appropriate. Whilst I'm not expecting news to be posted absolutely AS IT HAPPENS YO, ideally we'll be looking at getting news on the site within a day of it being reported elsewhere. You'll also be able to contribute Features as well, should you fancy writing little editorials every now and then. You should be capable of reporting news using your own manner of speaking - in other words, don't copy and paste wholesale from other news sites.
I'm looking for at least two people to help out alongside the staff we have currently, although this may change depending on level of interest.
GAME REVIEWERS
Reviews have been a horrendously under-utilised section of our website since P7 launched, and that is something that we're going to change. You'll be responsible for reviewing games from SEGA's massive library, both past and present, using relevant screenshots/header images where appropriate. You'll also need to be able to work as part of a team - we don't want multiple reviews of the same game appearing on the website, so liasing with other reviewers to make sure you're not all covering the same game is essential. That said, I'm not against having a "Second Opinion" every now and then, just so long as it's the exception, not the norm.
At present, we're currently unable to provide games for our review team, but we will be looking into contacting SEGA of America to see if they can help us out. For now, all applicants need to be able to source their own games, one way or the other.
There is currently no limit to the number of reviewers I'm looking to take on - If you're good enough, you're in. Simple as that.
MEDIA TEAM
A new role, this one, and it's primarily for our new site - RadioSEGA Media. As part of this team, you'll be working under myself to keep the site updated with game trailers, news on new media releases (such as SEGA soundtracks via CD/iTunes), and also helping out our podcast partners should they have any issues.
I'm keeping the Media Team seperate from the main site because I feel like a dedicated team for RSM will help us in the longterm, so to start off with Media Team members won't be able to provide anything on this side of the fence, so please bear this in mind if you want to apply for this team as well as either of the two above. Conversely, anybody involved with the main website won't be able to provide anything for RSM, with the exception of site Admins and the Playlist/Podcast Teams. This may change in the future, however.
