Work With TSA

Peter Chapman 60 Comments

TheSixthAxis has grown steadily since those days when we were just a small group of gamers talking to each other on a fancy website Alex and Michael had founded. Now we have a large group of gamers talking to each other on a fancy website Alex and Michael founded.

But the community of commenters, clan-members and likeminded gamers is only a part of the story. Our readership is now many thousands of times larger than it was in those days and that fact brings its own responsibilities and workloads. Our workforce has grown too and, although TSA still endeavours to find a way of paying our staff, we all currently do this for free. It’s not an easy task and there are times when we need to reshuffle staff and add new blood. This is one of those times.

We are welcoming applicants who wish to work with TheSixthAxis as a News Writer. Successful applicants will work under our News Editor and will be expected to post regular news articles to the site in a professional and expedient manner. The role is on a voluntary (unpaid) basis but the workload is still quite heavy and you will need to be a competent writer with a passion for the games industry in order to succeed. Your responsibilities will be based around the gathering of news but there may also be opportunities for you to attend events, conduct interviews and write occasional features and reviews.

While we are not currently in a position to offer financial reward for this role we do hope that our reputation will give anybody’s future career in the games-writing industry a boost.

If you think that you would like to work with one of Europe’s (and possibly even the world’s) largest fully independent console-gaming websites then send us an email to peter[at]thesixthaxis[dot]com and include a couple of examples of your work so we know that you can string a sentence together.

      • Oh come now Katy, gay is just label. I’d shag the brains out of Kylie or Nicole Kidman. I have got kid, er, somewhere..

      • katy and tuffcub porno on the way?……

  3. If only I had the time to do this in between working – I’d jump at the chance to contribute to the site and help out. If you do need anyone to do some regular features or write some (apparantly) funny stuff then gimme a shout
    :-)

    • yeh thats what i would love to see more of (and do tbh), more funny writting compllaining about the little things that bug us.

      • Hey hey no competing with my rants allowed :D

      • Hey! I can do that…
        You’ll see… later.

    • Im with you on this one. Id love to do reviews and opinion pieces but to be forced to do it on demand would be too much with my new job coming up next week.

      If you fancy a double part timer then im willing to lend a hand…..if you think my writing is good enough of course ;)

  4. Good chance for someone. All you young lads out there looking for a gaming-industry job, this is where it starts. Good luck to all the applicants and particularly the successful one(s)

  5. I vote for Dexter! Sod the education, Dex… get in there!

    • Ha, thanks Mike. I need to have a think about things.

  6. Wish I was good at writing stuff. I’d jump at the chance to do this

  7. I apply just for the bisuits M,mmmkay?

  8. Wish I could fit this in with my day job. I spend too much time on this site already when I should be working.

    Good luck to those that apply.

  9. I’ll be sending some stuff when I get home, though I haven’t written anything critical for a while.
    exciting(!)

    • News isn’t critical. News is … well, news.
      :)

      • of course, but opinion and critique always permeate news stories, I think its unavoidable.
        also, I’ve never written news before, but I have written critically before, and thought that would be appropriate to bring up!

  10. Wish I had to time to be able to do this :-( Dexter takes up all of my time in the forums having to make sure he behaves :P Good luck to all applicants :)
