Who we are looking for
Technical journalists with online publishing experience, freelance writers with experience in the technical field and ambitious hobby writers. People who are enthusiastic about new technology and enjoy writing. First references would be ideal, but are not a must.
[/g1_1of3] [g1_1of3]Whom we do not seek
In short: people without time. Writing a short news item should not take longer than 30 minutes. Larger reports, event reports and interviews will of course take longer. If you are interested in joining us, you should have enough time to write 4-5 short articles per week and at least one longer article per month.
[/g1_1of3] [g1_1of3]Is the letter paid for?
Yes, after a probationary period of two months, you will be given a freelance assignment and paid for your time at industry-standard rates. During the probationary period, we will assess the quality of the contributions and give you feedback on whether your work meets our expectations or whether there is room for improvement.

[/g1_1of1] [/g1_row] [g1_toggle title="What should I write about?" icon="fa fa-question" size="l" title_align="centre" state="off" style="simple" layout="boxed"]
Everything on the topic of virtual reality is interesting for us. Especially if it has a reference to Switzerland. Our goal is that about 30% of the contributions have a reference to Switzerland. We will be happy to help you classify the contributions in the appropriate sections.
[/g1_toggle] [g1_toggle title="How will my posts be put online?" icon="fa fa-question" size="l" title_align="centre" state="off" style="simple" layout="boxed"]We use WordPress as our content management system. If you already have experience with Worpress, it is very easy to write new posts. If there is no experience yet, we can offer you a short training. In principle, however, it is also possible to send us the contributions in the form of text and image files. We will then put them online.
[/g1_toggle] [g1_toggle title="How long should posts be?" icon="fa fa-question" size="l" title_align="centre" state="off" style="simple" layout="boxed"]It depends on whether they are short news articles in the form of a few sentences with links and ext. media files such as pictures and videos, or longer or even multi-page reports or product tests. The important thing is that the article was written by yourself and not copied from other sites.
[/g1_toggle] [g1_toggle title="Am I employed as a freelancer?" icon="fa fa-question" size="l" title_align="centre" state="off" style="simple" layout="boxed"]No, they get an assignment for a part-time job as a freelancer. They must subsequently pay tax on this income themselves and insure themselves.
