TeamXbox.com Seeking Volunteer Writers

TeamXbox has always aimed to your one stop site for everything involving the Xbox 360. You might have noticed the same four or five names at the top of all of our articles over the past year. How would you like to see your own username at the top of a news article, review or preview?

TeamXbox has always been a fan run effort at its core. The group of us that maintain this page are Xbox enthusiasts who have a passion for the platform. The Xbox has given us greats like the Halo and Gears of War Franchise as well as being the home of some of the greatest third party titles like Grand Theft Auto.

Ensuring coverage of all of these games can be a daunting task, especially for four or five people. A lot of work goes on behind the scenes to make sure that the news articles you enjoy reading are delivered on time with videos, screenshots and more. That is why we are seeking a few more volunteers to help speed up the delivery of content.

The fall/winter holiday season has almost one AAA game being released every week. Here is a list of the volunteer positions we are looking to fill.

News Reporter - Do you enjoy writing blogs? We are looking for a few dedicated individuals to help post breaking news. Opinions/knowledge on the industry and a passion for delivering up the minute details are must.

Previews Writer - Previewing a game doesn't always mean going hands on with it. We are looking for someone who can collect all of the relevant information about an upcoming title and write a fascinating and informative one page preview under a deadline.

Reviews Writer - Do you enjoy critiquing your favorite video games? How about the chance of scoring some of the hottest titles for free? We are looking for a dedicated review writer who is able to review games that they are passionate about, and those which are assigned. Everyone has a voice, let yours be the one that is heard.

As mentioned prior these positions are volunteer only however they are a great opportunity for the hardcore and passionate amongst our readership to help cover their favorite games. If you've wanted to break in to the gaming industry writing for a website is strong bullet point on your resume.

If you are interested at all please email txbvolunteers@gmail.com with the following details:
• Desired volunteer position
• gamertag
• last 3 games you played on more than 2 occasions
• 2 games you are excited for this holiday season
• Days of the week/hours per week you are willing to commit

Thanks for reading and we look forward to hearing from everyone who is interested
