EDITOR
Can you dream of producing a publication that can rival TIME, Forbes, Ebony and GQ? Can you turn waste to wealth? That is, turn badly written scripts into award-winning stuff? Are you as creative as anyone in the world? Can you drive your team to achieve set goals? Well, if you’ve got a brilliant brain and an impressive CV, then you’re the ONE we’ve been looking for. What took you so long?
STAFF WRITERS
You think you can write first-class prose on business or politics or the arts? Can you conduct excellent interviews that the whole world would like to read?
Are you good at breaking the rules so that journalism can be released from jail? Have you done a bit of all of these before, at least for three years?
You fit the bill then.
REPORTER-RESEARCHERS
Have you got potential? In that case, come and grab a job with us. We will train you. A little experience in writing and reporting helps (as if you don’t know).
And good education too.
PHOTO JOURNALIST
Do you see yourself as a photographer or a photo journalist? Is photography a job or an art to you? If you tick the right boxes and click the right buttons, you are hereby declared wanted. But, sorry, age must be on your side.
GRAPHIC ARTIST
Don’t confuse business centre planners with graphic artists. We mean someone who understands the art and science of magazine layout and design.

The CEO does not suffer fools gladly-but he also needs somebody to organise him so that he doesn’t get into trouble too often. To organise the CEO, of course, you must be as good as the CEO (okay, that’s a joke, but why not?) A previous experience is better than none.
