    Federation News Service - Staff Writer
    CL4 - Tier 2 (Lieutenant/Senior Chief Petty Officer)

    Do you have an interest in writing? If so FNS could be the place for you! We’re looking for new people to join us in writing articles for the UFP. Although we are a Star Trek fan site and most of us are here because we love Trek, that interest as a whole is not a requirement when it comes to what articles you can write, as FNS produces a number of stories for our members, relating to the numerous interests our community has. From Trek news to the goings on in the world of Science and Technology for example. It doesn’t have to be a news article either as we continue to branch out into new avenues like with Kirk’s Ships of the Fleet Sundays. If you think there is something you can offer to the team, we would love to hear from you.

    If you don't think your writing is good enough, that's okay! Perhaps having something to write about will help you, and anything you submit will be edited before it goes onto the news system.

    So if that’s something you think you would enjoy, or want to practice your writing with, as they say, enlist today!


    JOB DUTIES
    • Writing news stories for the community.
    • Discussing anything newsworthy with the rest of the team.
    • Ability to work on articles in a timely manner.
    • Researching and fact checking information for articles
    • The successful candidate of this role would report to Vox.


    JOB REQUIREMENTS
    • There are no Academy exams required to hold this position.
    • Is it a CL5 position? No


    APPLICATION PROCESS
    Please apply using the Volunteer Position Application Form.
    The position closes on N/A.

    TIP: While it is ultimately up to you how you format your application, please try to include your online volunteering history, any relevant real life experience that's applicable, why you decided to stick with the UFP, why you feel you're the best person for the role and how you think it will benefit you.
