Get paid to blog full-time.

Get paid to blog full-time.

Just as a reminder, we’re still looking to hire for a reporter-blogger position. If you’re interested, make sure to follow these directions. This is a full-time salaried position with benefits and requires the candidate to work out of our Washington, DC offices.

    Does it include moving expenses?

    Not that you would hire me =)

    Would ya take a retired bum from the Software Engineering field? I’ll work for food and shelter too.

    – - Don’t tell my employer, but in a manner of speaking, I AM getting paid to blog.

    Shhhh.


  4. rightwing-leftwing says:

    Badmoodman, You’re fired! ;)


  5. Wayne Ant Schneider says:

    If I could write well, and if I had the degree, and the journalism experience, and the ability to pack up and move to DC, I’d apply. But I can’t so I won’t. Thanks anyway. :)

    If I worked at Wendy’s like most of the regulars here, I would jump on this opportunity. Judging by most of the blogs written by the salaried bloggers here, I think Wendy’s was likely the career launching pad for this type of position.

    JohnM don’t knock Wendy’s jobs – working there builds character …..

    Very true, but why can’t they ever remember to make my burger without mayo?

    JohnM,

    WHAT? Those savages should be reported. Everyone knows a good burger only needs a spicy mustard. Maybe a good Dijon.


  10. Rodeskawler says:

    People get paid to do this stuff?

    I will send you my bill.

    Whadda maroon.

    Why dont you hire someone without a degree who has experience in dealing with everyday life? Ive followed politics for twenty years because i enjoy it,I also believe the rightwingnuts are wrong. You can do a backround check. I have been arrested for a DUI and possesion of a controlled substance in the tenth degree, wich amounts to nothing but experience. I do alot of reading and i can write a non biased column. Well, I am a liberal so maybe i will be a little biased towards the left.
    Have a wonderful night,
    Scott

    Wow. My college degree is in journalism but I got so disgusted with it (journalism, not my degree!) that I ended up going into a completely separate field… if a job like this opened eight years ago when I was coming out of school, who knows how things would have turned out? :oD

    I don’t think that’s mayo slick.


  15. Liberal Kelly says:

    May I nominate someone from this blog? If so, I think MissHusseinMolly would be a perfect choice.

    If my husband would be willing to relocate, I would do it in a New York (D.C?) second. Not that I am even remotely qualified….


  16. Arctic Ghetto says:

    Thanks, but I am still trying to get one of my comments recommended.


  17. Xisithrus says:

    TP should hire a freeper…you know, like one of those blow up punching dolls that you knock around for fun.

    I nominate Proud.


  18. rightwing-leftwing says:

    We’d need to accelerate the stem cell research program so we could grow Proud a brain first ….

    .

    Maybe Think Progress can hire chit-chat and Sesli Sohbet. This way this spammer can get paid to link to Turkish porn.

    .


  20. rightwing-leftwing says:

    I 2ND Sesli Sohbet!


  21. TravisD says:

    >requirements: bachelor degree

    oh, classism


  22. Levi says:

    I sent my resume in last night. Hire me!


  23. DNFP says:

    You need to hire a goddamn site moderator.

    DUH.


  24. DNFP says:

    HakaN Says:

    Sesli Sohbet
    Sesli Chat
    Kamerali Sohbet

    Case in point to my prior post.

    (stupid TP).


  25. DNFP says:

    Oh hell no…

    We’re talking a non-profit here, not Microsoft!

    Thank you! I’m enormously flattered. And I’d apply in a heartbeat if I was even remotely qualified as a journalist and if I could afford to live in the DC area.

    It would be fascinating work, and I will envy whoever gets this position.

    Yeah, I’m with ya on being disgusted. I stopped caring about the world. Nothing’s going to change. I was #201 at Columbia’s School of Journalism, and they only take 200 applicants out of thousands. No one declined their spot that year so I didn’t get in from the waiting list. It was probably the biggest blessing in disguise, as 9/11 happened soon after. Journalists became sellouts if they wanted to survive in the mainstream.

    But I vote for Miss Molly too! Molly, you should at least apply! Worst they could say is no.


  28. WAYNEBRO says:

    I’d apply but I’m too controve…controversi….contravers… oh hell I say a lot of wacky things.

    :\

    Only if it’s a real progressive website. Being a shill for the blue team would hurt more than working for the reds. I expect Repugnican’ts to pander to their big money donors.
