BuzzFeed Austin Hiring Freelancers

BuzzFeed is opening an Austin office this Summer. This is not fake news!

They are currently looking for freelancers to both write and produce content, and illustrators/animators.
Graduating seniors this is your opportunity! A former LAHer, James Lamon, has been at BuzzFeed for over 3.5 years now, working in both New York and London.  He say “It is a good company and he’s learned a lot.  These roles will be content creators tasked with writing and producing a wide suite of entertainment and advertorial content (no journalism). A good candidate already has a strong presence on social media or some production experience, is funny and smart and loves learning new things, and is a good human being! It’s a great opportunity for someone to try a lot of different things and learn what they like.”
