We are currently looking for reinforcement in our authors’ team. You can now apply for a position at MeinMMO to write news, guides, and specials about the mobile hit Pokémon GO from the home office.
Who we are looking for: You should be very familiar with Pokémon GO and enjoy sharing your knowledge about the AR mobile game.
After that, we look at:
- you always know what a new update brings to Pokémon GO
- you have reached at least level 40 in Pokémon GO
- you know how to make the most of events like Community Day or the Pokémon GO Fest
- you are good at explaining things to others. Clear communication is especially important for guides
- you are interested in what is currently moving the community in Pokémon GO and what everyone is talking about
- you are familiar with Reddit, Twitter, and the official website to stay informed
- you are willing to reflect on criticism of your work, accept it, and continue to develop in your writing
- it is an advantage if you already have experience: a personal blog, a streaming channel, or work for another website could fall under this. However, this is not a requirement for the position.
- you enjoy writing and have an interest in journalistic work
We would like to fill the position as quickly and effectively as possible. Perhaps with you.
Attention: This position is intended for freelance employees. It is not a permanent position.
Are you interested in a position with us, but Pokémon GO is not your game? We are currently looking for someone for The Elder Scrolls Online
