You will not be alone in this endeavor. Producing content for GSMArena.com is a team effort so you will be working in close cooperation with your peers and superiors.

You should have keen eye for detail and even an aptitude for writing yourself. We expect you to proofread the texts produced by our writers throughout the work day and we will rely on you to make sure the articles are coherent, consistent and that they adhere to our style guide.

Once you get used to the topics we normally cover, you would be required to fact-check the articles as well.
