Is this job for you?

It just might be! You have to have great control of words, enjoy learning, and love the Internet.

You will learn more about writing for the web from our awesome web editor, as well as how to craft exciting competitions, interesting quizzes, and cool newsletters. You will get a chance to deal with the region's top talent, coordinating the content they share to be published on our communities. Since we are from the Internet and thus love the Internet more than our very souls, social media will play a large role in your job.

Expect to entertain, and be entertained. Expect to write articles, tips, and advice that will help the Middle East's professional community. Expect to socialize online, and meet people from all across the world who want to improve their careers.

This job is for you if you are passionate, skilled with words, and always up to a challenge.
