      Job Roundup - May 31

      On the Guardian's job site, there's a posting for a production assistant for the Economist. And estate agents Foxtons are looking for a typesetter to work on their magazines and advertising materials (£20k).

      Still on the Guardian, a B2B magazine publisher is looking for a production assistant for subediting, basic office stuff, proofing and advert production. And a legal publishing company is looking for researchers/writers.

      JobsIn has postings for a subeditor for a weekly magazine, a photo researcher, an editorial assistant for euromoney (£18k), and an online content editor for an accounting jobsite (£20k).

      On Fish4Jobs, (thanks for the tip, Miriam) there's a posting for an online content editor for a jobsite -- might be the same one as posted above, might not be (8.50 p/hr).

      And Brook Street also has a posting for an online content editor (ref: CLA/1832) for a jobsite (£20k). I'm guessing the first and third are the same job, but it's hard to tell from the adverts.

      Job Roundup - May 30

      John Brown Publishing is looking for a trainee publishing assistant. Must be someone looking to get into magazine publishing who is "meticulous". More meticulous than them, given the spelling mistakes in the advert...

      On TNT's jobsite, there's a job posted for a temporary reporter for a B2B (£13-14 p/hr) and a temporary subeditor, at the same rate. They also have a temporary managing editor for a travel thing (£12-13 p/hr). Not sure what's up with the "temporary" and the hourly wage... but all three are via recruiter PFJ. Coincidence? I think not.

      PFJ recruiters have a posting for an assistant editor with a year's experience (£22k to £23k) for a medical publication, among others.

      Recruit Media has a listing for an online content coordinator (£120 per day) on a contract basis. Must have 2 years of web experience.

      According to the Guardian, Reuters is in the process of hiring 100 journalists. While there aren't any new jobs posted on their site, it might be a good time to give them a call if you've ever dreamed of working on a wire service. Or check out their graduate section.

      You might have noticed some new sources today. I've added a few in the company listings and job listing pages; you may need to refresh the page to see them. And as always, if you know a good one I've missed, please share...

      Reed Business are looking for telephone researchers. This is soul-less, evil work. I speak from experience. But if you're still in school, or desperate for cash, or, say, both, maybe check it out. They also need a subeditor for a legal publication.
