On June 02, 2003 , when PCSynapse.com was launched, the entire staff consisted of one person. But as the industry expands, so must this organization. Therefore we are calling on any individuals who think they have what it takes to be on a professional media publication team to sound off and let us know that you're interested! We are looking for individuals to fill in the positions listed below. But do not take this lightly - though reviewing hardware and doing investigative reporting can be extremely exciting, it also means serious work. It means adhering to a standard that we hold here at PCS , meeting deadlines, a serious commitment, but of course it also means having fun!
If you are an experienced professional or a tech geek (though an experienced one) - just like the rest of the staff! - be sure to contact us at the addresses listed below. Include the required information or materials listed under each description. *These are not paying jobs*
