As promised, I'm starting the application process now for the UOC News Writer positions. I'm looking for four guys to join the staff, two for 360 and two for PS3.
As a member of the staff, you'll be required to do certain things:
1. You'll be asked to write at least one article a week, sometimes two. The goal is to have an article a day up for viewing. I am hiring four members to go with myself to help make the work load easier on everybody involved with UOC News.
2. You will be required to meet particular deadlines and will be asked on occasions to change up writing styles, whether it's a fight review, Q&A with a member of the community, or just an article on a particular camp. I want the articles to be as fresh as possible.
3. You will also be asked to have Skype on your computer. It is simply much easier to communicate that way and I'll have a chatroom set up for it.
See, pretty simple requirements. Now if you'd like to apply to be on the staff, here's what I need you to do:
1. Write an article on a prior fight in UOC History. Filmgeneric did this for the original UOC News applications and I thought it was a great idea. I don't want this to really be a play by play of a fight, I want it to be as professional as possible.
2. Write a few sentences telling me why you'd be great for the job. It might be a little cheesy, but it helps.
3. Give me some times as to when you'd be available to meet on Skype just in case we need to have a meeting or so.
4. Tell me how great I am. (j/k)
5. Email all of this to UOCNews@hotmail.com. (See, I'm getting organized with this stuff. ;) )
Thanks to all for the interest and I look forward to seeing some great applications.

If Skype doesn't work on your pc, we'll try to find ways around it. I could probably pm the assignment(s) for the week if a member or two doesn't have it. Thanks for the interest.

I can do it. I have lots of time to do it since I am younger then most people here. Plus it would be fun to do. I am not always great at UFC but I am good at writing.

This thread may as well be locked, as I'm going to submit an article to H2Beau.
No, it will not be an article that reads:
"H2Beau, you are a ***, and here are the reasons why...."
Although I'm sure half the site would really like to read a piece like that :)

Not so sure about that. I'm sure we're going to find some members who blow me out of the water. Thanks for the kind words though.

LMAO, I'm sure there will be a lot of people who'd enjoy reading that.
Thanks so much for the response so far guys. Really looking forward to getting UOC News back to where it once was.

If you guys are still looking for a writer, let me know. I am having a hard time finding a journalism school to get into, but I need to start getting a portfolio together in the mean time.
