 Do you think my job looks easy? Have you ever thought to yourself, Linus is washed up? He's out of ideas or even I could do it a hundred times better. Well today's your chance to do just that. We're looking for two to three highly motivated individuals to join our writing staff and with their fresh ideas and skills help us take Linus tech tips from just barely tolerable to a handful of people to the next level with improvements to both the breadth and depth of our content. Though of course we wouldn't be able to afford any of that if it wasn't for this obnoxious ad. So... BRB. Well Linus, you're absolutely right. Even our sales team is out of ideas. So if you want to support us you can buy one of these shirts at the link in the video description and it'll feed my family and my wife and our cats. So please do that. That'd be great. I'm gonna get right down to bidness. We're looking for individuals who are able to help in the pre-production process which involves researching and requesting up-and-coming technology for review. Brainstorming ways to tackle existing technology from new or interesting angles. Benchmarking, testing, and validation of the above product or ideas either by following our existing protocols or building completely new ones. Analyzing the results and forming opinions. Documenting the entire process and in terms that a layperson can understand. Coordinating with our hosts to ensure scripts can be written from the notes or even writing the scripts fully. Coordinating with our shooters and editors to ensure the visual portion is accurate and there are actually some other things we don't ask for much do we? There are some other things that we'll be looking for as well. Aside from the obvious great attitude, good problem solver, works well independently or with a team, etc, etc. Strong writers will have the best chance. If you're already working for a tech publication, you would do well to include your portfolio. We will treat it with the utmost discretion. Maker skills including experience with programming, CNC cutting, 3D modeling, and robotics are a huge plus. As always, don't bother applying if you don't have a sense of humor. You're gonna be working with this guy for crying out loud and this one isn't much better. Okay, so you're intrigued at this point and wondering how to apply for this position. Well, we used to list all the things that would disqualify someone from applying like for example, not having a Canadian work permit and provide an email address below the video for resume submissions. But this has proven to be too complicated for some people in the past. So this time around there's a Google form linked under the video that we would like everyone to fill out before going any further. Once you answer all of the skill testing questions successfully, you will receive further instructions. But the gist of it is this. You'll send a resume and cover letter along with a portfolio if available and additionally, we'll provide some sample scripts from our previous projects and some suggested topics. You'll pick a topic to research and write about to show off your skills. Note that you don't have to use one of our sample topics and a great way to stand out would be to tackle something we've never done or thought of before and you send them in and hope for the best. Now hold on a minute Linus, we like yours and Luke's approach to tech and Taron and Brandon are okay, too. What makes you think we would like someone else's video? Because this is already happening with most of you probably not even noticing. Some of the most fun videos that I've hosted lately. Office makeover, water-cooled PS4, ultimate DIY desk PC, USB typewriter and our DIY bong cooler. I wrote or at least heavily edited the scripts, but they mostly weren't done by me. Some of them weren't even my ideas. Which doesn't mean that I am or anyone here for that matter actually out of ideas. It just means that for us to keep pushing the envelope and to do some of the really cool stuff we have planned we need more resources to dedicate to them. So be excited because whether you're one of the successful candidates or you just bought a rockin hashtag out of ideas shirt you'll be part of a 2017 that's going to be bigger and better than ever for Linus Tech Tips. Thanks for watching guys if this video sucked then like I don't know what do you want from me? It's a recruitment video what am I supposed to do? Um yeah, bye. Bye. Not gonna do the whole outro.
