DS-x2.com Needs Staff!

Wanted: people interested in the Nintendo DS, Game Boy Advance or Wii scene and willing to share their findings. Are you up to the challenge?

People come and go, but DS-x2.com remains. And hence why we're always looking for new flesh to strengthen our news team. At the moment we're looking for multiple individuals willing to join the DS-x2.com staff.

What are we looking for?

Newsposters for DS-x2.com Newsposters at DS-x2.com need to be updated on the Wii, Nintendo DS or Game Boy Advance scene by themselves. Regularly, preferably on a daily basis, you can find the time to write a decent newsarticle based on the latest happenings and announcements. Of course news also comes with images. Screenshots, photographs and more. For this reason you also need to be able to edit images. Do you know how to perform simple operations using a graphical application? Can you resize images? Remove annoying borders from screenshots? Can you put a watermark on an image?

Requirements:

You must be at least 16 years of age (ideally over 18) and write and speak in fluent English.
You must be proficient in grammar and spelling and demonstrate an excellent writing style.
You must have enough spare time to be able to perform the job.
Prior writing experience is a plus, but not required.

Wii Reviewer DS-x2.com has always been about the games, and lately we've been receiving more support from publishers and developers (thank you guys) than we can manage on our own. For that particular reason we're looking into expanding our staff by adding a vacancy for 'Wii Reviewer'. DS-x2.com is still a freely available service to our readers and because of that we need to keep costs as low as possible. As the review code is already delivered in our UK office, we're looking for a reviewer (male or female) from Europe.

Requirements:

You must be at least 16 years of age (ideally over 18) and write and speak in fluent English.
You must live in Europe.
You must own a PAL Wii.
You must be proficient in grammar and spelling and demonstrate an excellent writing style.
You must have enough spare time to be able to perform the job.
You must be able to complete assignments before deadlines.
Prior writing experience is a plus, but not required.

If you recognize yourself in the above, please continue reading and answer the following questions for yourself:

Is this just a fling, or do I really want to join the site and keep working on it for a decent time?
Can I actually bring in content, or did I always find all my daily news right here?
Do I write decent English, or can I only write in txtspk, l33t or EvEn WorSeOMGWTF?
Do I know basic HTML? Do I know the codes to make text bold, add a hyperlink or even place an image?
Would I be interested even if I would not get paid?
Can I write Dennis an email at: recruitment@ds-x2.com or fill in a basic contact-form (preferred)?

If your answers to the above were "yes", please drop us a line at recruitment@ds-x2.com or contact us using our contact-forms (preferred). If possible, supply a sample article on any Nintendo-related topic you prefer with your application.

A Wii reviewer would be nice too.

Any help we could get would be great...

Would I need to know the HTML for the Wii reviewer position? I've been able to make enough room in my spare time that I'd be able to do it and have a few titles to review. Have just completed a HotD: Overkill one.

No, there's no need for HTML if you are just reviewing and any help would be great. Where are you based anyway?

Andrew, 30-11--0001 at 00:00
Scotland. Like I said, I've done a review of HotD: Overkill and although it says Wii reviewer I'm currently nearing the end of Chrono Trigger on the DS so would probably be able to write something on that as well as Wii titles Disaster and Wario Land if you haven't done reviews on them.
