Lots of companies hire interns, they definitely say "hire intern" and many of the positions are unpaid. Are you sure all these major corporations are incorrectly using the term?
Also, you might want to change your post because salary implies a periodic payment rather than a per-hour or per-article wage. Lots of employees are hired but don't have salaries.

Well if its only 10 million..........

Are there any topics you recommend we write about specifically in the category of SCII e-Sports?

For the writing samples, would something like a battle report or some sort of game summary suffice? Or are you looking for more prose-y stuff?
Also wondering this oOo

why you want this position:
1) millions of ESPORTS dollars
2) fame and glory
3) practice and show off your writing skills for EPEEN points
4) put it on your resume for that job writing editorials for NYT and/or the Enquirer

in terms of topics for writing samples, I really don't care as long as it is loosely related to e-sports in some way.
Just send in stuff you think you wrote well, and that should be fine :O

I've been on TL for a long, long time.. Might have to look into this. ^^
|
I'll put in my effort with this weeks NASL's
My grammer and spelling is trash but I do think I will enjoy writing a bit if nothing else.

To hell with money. True thugs get hugs.

Since we're 'wikiquoting'. No real two ways about it if you want to go for clarity/transparency 
But it's your thread - gl with getting an appropriate application!

Why would I want to pay 10 million esport dollars to write on TL?
+ Show Spoiler +Who am I kidding I would do that in a heart beat.

Sounds great, going to be great with some new blood.

Good luck with the search. I doubt nothing can beat the broodwar writers ever, but maybe someone can prove me wrong?

Try it dude! The worst case is you don't get it and you're no worse off than you are now.
If you feel you can handle it, apply!

Hiring implies employment, which is what they're doing.
Employment doesn't necessarily have salaries;
The first four definitions of Wiktionary suggest otherwise. Of course, people could argue over the next few pages over the meanings and definitions of "hiring", "employment" or even "salary" but it would be just about as pointless as arguing that "rape" can be used as a synonym to "pillage."
It's easier to just rename this news "TL is recruiting SC2 Writers" to avoid any confusion.

this is great to hear. i've been looking for ways to give back to the community for awhile now. ill be hashing out sample pieces tonight. =)

There is no confusion, just a raging debate over something extraordinarily trivial. Do your parents know you're argumentative?
Quoting dictionaries implies that you do not understand the word, thus should not have posted in the first place because you in fact did not understand the word in the first place.
edit: forgot about the actual topic of thread. Wish I had the free time to try this, GL to anyone who applies.

Can the topics that you send already be reported but put on ur own words?
|
cool! looking to try applying!!!!
