VG247 freelance spot available, possibly to you

vg247logo3

We’re looking for someone to cover the Gamescom day-shift this year. The Cologne show runs from August 19-23.

Is it you? Are you “the one”? Questions you may ask, answered:

Will I get paid?

Yes.

What do I have to do?

Write an awful lot of news very quickly, not be stupid, not ever moan ever.

I’ve never written professionally before.

Sorry, dude. We’ve got very little time to train.

Will I go to Germany?

No. You’ll be sat at your PC at home, crying onto your soon-to-be-arthritic hands.

If it works out, will I be able to do more?

You’re a sharp cookie.

Sounds amazing! Please let me do it!

Mail patrick [at] vg247.com and we’ll consider it.

Go on, then. Hurry up.

I’m going to trial Johnny. Huge thanks for all the applications, which I’ve got in a folder on the server. We will be taking on more staff and freelancers as we go ahead, so they’re all on file.

Couldn’t go to a better guy.

And he’s Irish too, so I’m slightly biased.

So what happened with this?

Edit:

Never mind. There’s a whole ‘nother page I missed out on there, I dare say.
