Site news: We're hiring

by Dan Kadar on Jan 19, 2012 7:56 PM EST

Are you obsessed with the NFL Draft? So much so that you spend your free time writing about it throughout the year? If you are, we want you to be part of the team.

MtD, one of the most-popular draft sites online, is looking for two new writers. The idea is simple, really. This is a year-round website dedicated to the NFL Draft. So the writers we want will be producing work leading up to and well beyond the draft.

Writers will be asked to cover draft-related news, perform player analysis if possible, provide mock drafts and more. There will be some pay involved, so the expectations will be high. If you're interested, email me at mockingthedraft [at] gmail.com [dot] com and include any applicable writing examples and ideas for the site and what you'd like to do. Previous draft or football writing is preferred, but not necessary. The only necessaries are proper grammar and creativity.

I wish I was able to write during the summer because if I did I could have been able to take this job

how much is the pay?

Can't stand the truth?

by Aristotle45 on Jan 19, 2012 9:26 PM EST reply actions

200000 dollars per article.

I have the same question. Many others too.

When the job is finished no one remembers how long it took, just how well it was performed.

That is not enough information.

It will probably be based on page views like the rest of the internet.

This might not be the gig for you if money is the only important thing.

Wow. Where did that come from? At no point in any of my comments did I mention/imply that money was the “only” thing. To be 100% clear it is NOT the only thing, but it is important.

If I am going to pursue this opportunity I realize that there is considerable time and effort involved in producing a quality product. If it equates to a minimum wage job then I would be wasting your time and mine going any further.

FWIW I have considerable experience creating lesson plans, operating instructions (real men don’t use them of course) and have other background items that would show my acumen. I was an Instructor in the US Navy for an aggregate total of more than eight years.

For examples of my work you can review the two FanPosts I wrote for www.buffalorumblings.com. Here are the links: http://www.buffalorumblings.com/2011/3/2/2025351/intangibles-for-locker-over-other-qbs, and http://www.buffalorumblings.com/2011/5/1/2146887/why-i-predicted-jasper-to-the-bills.

I don't think that was a specific comment towards you or anyone else,

just a way to frame the amount of compensation.

Shouldn't matter.

my chances disappeared at ‘proper grammar’.
good luck in the search

Its fun to think quarterback, but i think the odds of nix taking one in the first are close to 0%.

Your grammar was good in that comment

Except you gotta capitalize the “M” in “my” :)

Well

I was interested, then I realized, my grammar, is excruciating. It burns, and stings.

this sounds like an awesome job

don’t know if I have the time to fully dedicate though

You know if I didn't have to write I would do it.

Do you have an opening for an editor?

That would solve the grammar problems some of the others above have mentioned. All I get from the Creightonian is free pizza every now and then, and all Scott Schroeder gave me was friend request acceptance on Facebook.

I sent my email yesterday

I pitched you my experience, but didn’t get into any content ideas. So let me just add this as a postscript:

Time is not an issue, money is not an issue. Analyzing the draft and writing are two things I’m passionate about, and I would love to pursue those passions by joining your staff.

I’ve got a recent post on Brock Osweiler at Seahawksforever.blogspot.com if you want to take a look.

If you require any information beyond what’s in my email just let me know.

Thanks Dan!
