Wannabe a Hack? Applications are now open

by A Wannabe Hack

As we hope you’ll have noticed from yesterday’s main announcement, we want you to work with us and applications ARE NOW OPEN.

What we want

- C.V.

- A brief outline of the role you would like (eg “I would predominately be a writer for the site…”)

- One post for the site (written, audio or video…) This can be on a topic already covered on the site or something completely original you think we’ve missed.

- One detailed idea for how you would improve/expand the site. This can be your thoughts on how to improve something that we already do or an idea for something new. We want you to give plenty of information for how you would implement your idea and why you think it would benefit the site. Recommended word count of 500 words.

Send these to apply@wannabehacks.co.uk

The closing date for applications is midnight on Friday 20th July.

If you have any questions you can email hacks@wannabehacks.co.uk or get in touch on Twitter @wannabehacks.

Good luck! You've been doing an awesome job this year.

Thought those who are applying for WH might also be interested in getting involved with The Student Journals - we're currently recruiting too. Here's a link if anyone's interested: http://j.mp/tsjjobs

 

Great job again!

@wannabehacks do you need to include a covering letter with your application?

@vickywong710 You don't need one but should specify about the role you want - this the kind of cover letter part ^TC
