I’m incredibly excited to share that we’ll be launching our second regional site, BGR Germany, next month. And it’s going to be big. We’re launching BGR Germany in partnership with the largest Internet company in Europe, United Internet. We’ll also be powering the technology and mobile news sections of Germany’s largest web portals, GMX.net and web.de, and we’re looking for some talented writers to help lead BGR Germany with us. If you or someone you know might be interested, details on how to apply can be found after the break. Make sure you stay tuned to BGR and BGR Germany starting early next month at de.bgr.com — we have some great stuff coming up.

Here is what we’d like from (in English, please) you if you’re interested:

  • Your cover letter and CV/resume — please be sure to highlight related experience in your cover letter, and please include salary requirements
    • University degree in a related field preferred but not required
    • Experience reporting on tech business, mobile and/or consumer electronics preferred but not required
  • Three sample posts written in a style similar to what you might find here on BGR — these may be posts published on other websites or new content attached to your application email

Please email the requested information to jobs@bgr.com.

    Sadly, my full time employment most likely wouldn’t leave enough time to be a hired gun on your team. Else? I would immediatly sign up. Good luck in finding the right talent though. Germany needs more local news in the style you provide.

    Here is my sample post for consideration.  “Another analyst INSISTS iPhone5 is coming out tomorrow so it WILL happen because the analyst said so”.

    Prepare for the following questions:

    1. Why is Apple so revolutionary? List at least five reasons and justify each one with thought provoking analysis.

    2. Do you sleep with your iPhone? (Answer this quickly and decisively).

    3. Despite being manufactured in sweatshop-like conditions that cause many to consider suicide in countries where basic regulation is lax, list how the IPhone caters to your pious sensibilities.

    4. Here at BGR we pride ourselves on being fair and objective, are you fair and objective?

      Add to that:
      5. How many Apple devices do you currently own?
      6. How many have you owned in the past?
      7. How many Apple stores have you visited?  Favorite one?
      8. If the iOS 5 upgrade fails with error 3200, what do you do?  No seriously, we need to know.

        I forgot one more:
        9. Can you somewhat seamlessly name drop semi-celebrities?

    • Anonymous

      5. Do you have the ability to quote analysts?

      6. Can you make any apple story look good?

      7. Are you fluent in bullshit?

      • Anonymous

        Fluent on bullshit one was great!

        One attribute one must exhibit here.

      You’re retarded.

      • Applesucksfatties

        Did you think that one up all by yourself.. or did you have help?

      • Anonymous

        No, it’s too obvious that you’re a retard. I didn’t need help coming up to that conclusion.

    Geller: Where’s the best schnitzel place around here?
    Interviewee: Around the corner.
    Geller: Great!  Lets go and stuff our faces while holding our iPhones and then we’ll make inaccurate predictions about gadgets and not get invited to events where we obviously should get invited to. 
    Interviewee: Yeah, come to think of it, your site sucks.
    Geller: But wait, let me add yet another analytics script to my site so it loads even slower, while holding my iPhone, so I can accurately tell how bad my site sucks.
    Interviewee: I don’t want to work here now.
    Geller: But who will I talk to and tell them how great I am?  My PR girl, Marigo who looks like Spuds McKenzie  is dropping the ball–people know I am fat, balding and don’t know what I’m talking about.
