Thousands of jobs will be lost in an effort of the company to hold off Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The Wall St. Journal reports that it is working with an investment bank to help them out before the upcoming holiday season. We expect this will not be the last retailer, electronics or otherwise, to feel the pinch in the weeks to come.

Want To Write for Gear Live? Here’s Your Chance!

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Announcements

Okay, we get it - we suck. You read Gear Live daily, and constantly say to yourself “I could so have written that story better.” Okay hot shot, now’s your chance. Gear Live is looking to bring in a couple more writers who know their stuff as it pertains to gadgets, television, movies, and sports. You need not be a professional journalist to apply, but you should be able to write like one. What do we mean? Well, for starters, you have to have a strong command of the written English language. You also need to be passionate about the subject matter at hand. If you think you fit the bill, we want to hear from you.

Drop us an email at gigs[at]gearlive.com, and provide three sample posts written in the Gear Live style. These need to be original and timely, not something you wrote for the school paper a few years back. Also let us know why we should pick you, and what you can commit to. This is a paid gig, so we are looking for the best.

Oh, and yes, that is a new logo. Look for our redesign, coming soon.
