The job of your dreams is up for grabs, provided your dreams include testing and writing about tons of computer hardware

Want to spend your days being paid to test, tinker with and write about the latest and greatest PC hardware and games? Then you want to come and work for Custom PC, the UK's finest computer magazine and website.


We're hiring a Staff Writer, to research and write articles for the magazine and our fast-growing website. In this position you will be contributing to a wide range of Custom PC sections, including news, reviews and features, so a flexible, creative approach is important. As well as plenty of writing talent, we’re looking for someone who has demonstrated the ability to work well under pressure, as hitting deadlines is key to succeeding in the role.

This is a junior position, so while previous experience of journalism is an advantage, it is not a requirement for applicants. What is required is a love for PC hardware, modding, gaming and technology. Although this is a junior role, it is one with plenty of scope for development, so initiative, ideas and a proactive approach to work will be rewarded. A desire to learn more about both computer technology and consumer journalism is a must.

The role is full-time, based in the heart of London’s West End and offers a great remuneration and benefits package, along with fantastic opportunity for career progression. To apply, please email your CV, a 500-word review of your own PC in the Custom PC style and a covering letter explaining why you’re the best person for the job to Alex Watson, Editor: alex [at] custompc [dot] co [dot] uk

Closing date: 28th March, 2008
