Think You Have What It Takes to Be the San Antonio Guide?

Friday June 20, 2008
We're looking for passionate and enthusiastic individual to be the Guide to the San Antonio site on About.com!

What sort of information do we want the new Guide to provide?
Well, we're looking for someone who can help locals (particularly locals who just moved to the area) learn about the ins and outs of San Antonio that a tourist wouldn't necessarily need to know: how to get civic services, best schools, where to live, along with reviews of restaurants and nightlife.

What sort of person are we looking for to be the new Guide to San Antonio?
Our ideal candidate will live in or around Las Vegas, have published writing experience covering the area (either in a blog, magazine, or newspaper), and know how to keep their ear to the ground to find out what's happening in their area.

If this sounds like you, and you've got excellent writing skills and the desire to reach and teach a broad audience through your writing, why not go over to our application site to learn more about our hiring program and submit an application?
