Write for JoBlo.com? (Theatrical Movie Reviewer)

NOTE: PLEASE NOTE THAT IF
YOU DON’T LIVE IN MONTREAL, CANADA OR DON’T ALREADY HAVE ACCESS TO
PRESS SCREENINGS, PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME
YOUR APPLICATIONS, THEY WON’T BE LOOKED AT AND YOU’RE WASTING YOUR
TIME AND OURS. THANKS.

It’s been a while since
we hired someone new to the site, but since my crappy health doesn’t
seem to be improving fast enough, and I can’t seem to get out there
and see/review as many movies as I would like to, I finally
decided to hire someone to replace me as the “theatrical movies
reviewer” for the first time since I started this site back in
1998 (and close to 1300 reviews).

It wasn’t an easy
decision, let me tell you.

It will hopefully only
be a temporary position, as I hope to get back to full-form
at some point, but until then, I think it’s only fair that we get
someone working full-time on the latest movie reviews, as the site
simply isn’t complete without them. In fact, if all goes well, we
might keep this person on even after I can come back in full-force,
in order to cover as many new films as possible on the site. I’ll
still try and cover some of the “big flicks” if I can
though.

Position:
Theatrical movies reviewer

What
is required of this post?

• You must
  live in Montreal, Canada OR have access to press screenings in
  your fair city. If not, please DO NOT apply for
  this job, as those are the people we will be
  “interviewing” first.

• You must have great
  writing skills which obviously gel with our site’s other
  writers’ style and sensibilities.

• You must have
  flexible hours, as most press screenings take place at either
  10am or 7pm on weekdays/nights, and you must be able to bang out
  your reviews pretty quickly. We’d get you into all screenings
  for free, of course.

• You must be able to
  commit to this job for at least a period of 6-12 months.

How
do I apply?

If you honestly believe
that this position is a good fit with your abilities, please send me a direct email
at [email protected] titled
REVIEWING FOR JOBLO.COM and include in it:

1)
Why you think you would be
ideally suited for this post (you gotta really sell me with shit
to back it up as as well!) while concentrating on the above
requirements

2)
Several examples of your reviews (don’t send me looooong-ass reviews
though, see my own reviews style as a barometer of how to write them
up)

3) Your full name, age, resume (if you’ve
got one) and geographical location

4)
Your ratings (out of 10) of all the films you’ve seen so far this
year

The more evidence that you
could show me that you are THE PERSON for this opening…the better!
Furthermore, if you’ve already worked on any other website, please
provide us with the required URLs so that I could check those out as
well.
