Be A ContributorAfter browsing through the hundreds of pages in JobMonkey, you might be asking yourself, "Where
do they get all this information from?" With a few exceptions, the material on our site was written by our in-house staff of researchers and editors, who have obtained much of the raw information from interviews with hundreds of employers and employees from around the country and the world. Through telephone surveys and mailings, our in-house staff also researches the employer profiles found in the JobMiner database. Even though we do a lot of the work ourselves, we here at JobMonkey do
depend a lot on outside help to keep our information accurate, insightful, and timely! This is where you can come in. Do you have experience as an English teacher in a foreign country? Ever worked on a Cruise ship or as a tour guide? How about being an employee for an airline, casino, national park, ski or beach resort? Or maybe you're an employer yourself, and you'd like to offer some insider tips on the industry you know so well. If that's the case, then we'd love for you to
contact us! We are looking for: - Articles about discount travel
- Insightful interviews about real job experiences
- Information on changes in the industry
- Area and city profiles
- Tips and updates on industry-specific application procedures
-
Information on education opportunities
- On-site correspondents
- Eagle-eyed visitors who catch factual errors on any page
- In some cases, entire new chapters to our web pages
We are also interested in: - Experts/professionals to mediate chat rooms and message boards
- Photographers, videographers
and graphic artists who can offer high-quality work
- People willing to record interviews for audio files

What Do Contributors Receive? This depends a lot on your experience and credentials, as well as the nature of the work that is done by you as a freelancer. It can range from anywhere between being given credit on a JobMonkey account for use in our book store or JobMiner services, to negotiated contracts that could add up to some bucks, to simply getting a byline and free promotion to a personal Web site you might have.
Since there are so many ways to contribute to JobMonkey, we negotiate on a case-by-case basis. Again, feel free to contact our Editorial Department at AdminStaff2@JobMonkey.com to learn more. |
