Gizmodo Is Hiring Editorial Fellows in New York

Hello Internet! We're now hiring Editorial Fellows for our New York office.

Editorial Fellows are Gizmodo's entry level editorial positions. We ask a lot of you, but in turn, you will learn a lot about this whole professional blogging enterprise. So, the ideal candidate is someone who's looking at a career in media, but fairly geeky too. Oh, and you must be within daily commuting distance of Manhattan.

The essentials:
? You should want to be a journalist or reporter or writer or something of the sort when you grow up?experience at a newspaper or magazine is A++++, will buy again
? Like technology and the internet a lot
? Basic experience with HTML, Flickr, FTP, Facebook, Twitter?things that people do on the internet
? Dedication. It's like, intense here.
? A decent laptop
? Over 18 with the legal ability to work in the United States
? Willingness to learn. We don't expect you to know everything when you get here, but you should be willing to put the work in to figure it out.
? Ability to commit at minimum 20 hours a week, with full time being the preference.

The stuff you'll be doing:
? Research and reporting: Learning how to pull together lots of different kinds of information from multiple sources for editors
? Spotting stories: Learning how to find and pitch stories from multiple sources and leads
? Other, um, things

Essentially, you'll be learning the basics of writing about technology and internet culture. And very probably playing with a lot of gadgets, and learning new euphemisms for genitalia and all of the "go go go faster faster faster" pace of blogging. Editorial Fellows are paid, hourly employees. And if you're really good (and lucky), one day you could be promoted to an Editorial Assistant.

If you think that sounds like something you're into, grasshopper, send an email to editfellow@gizmodo.com with the subject "Editorial Fellow" Then, tell us a little bit about yourself and why you're perfect for the opportunity, and paste your resume at the bottom of the email. (No attachments. Seriously. None.) You've got until next Friday, May 17th to apply.

But don't wait until the last second! We look forward to hearing why we should learn you.
