You are an ideal freelance reviewer candidate for GearLab if you have deep experience in your areas of expertise, are a critical judge of products, and have strong writing skills. Qualities we seek: your expertise provides you with the domain knowledge you bring to bear in the categories you cover. You are quite critical about choosing your gear, and your friends value your advice on what gear they use. You firmly believe it is better to buy a quality product that will deliver lasting value than a product that is on clearance sale. You have strong analytical skills and may have experience doing writing of a more technical nature. That is a major plus if you have a strong educational or work background in science, academic, or technical areas.
Additional Qualities of Successful Applicants: You are self-motivated, college-educated, and can write in clear, simple language. You extensively research online reviews to ensure you buy the right product for your needs and budget. You have an intuitive appreciation of what separates a great review from a good one. You value most the reviews that helped you to make fully informed purchase decisions that, to this day, you still feel confident about and do not regret.
We seek to write the best reviews in the world to guide our readers to purchase the right product to suit their needs and budgets. We base our work on extensive testing and are looking for people with the skills and mindset to help make that kind of side-by-side comparison testing and analysis happen. Does your background provide you with the expertise to develop a great way to test a whole product category side-by-side? Do you have the analytical skills to gather the data to rate and rank the products you test? Do you have the writing skills to break it down for our readers in clear, friendly language to help guide them to the right purchase for their needs and budget? If so, please send us an application and tell us about yourself and your areas of expertise.
