Back in February,we launched our first work experience programme, open to applicants exclusively from minority backgrounds in the UK. We’re now pleased to tell you our first work experiencer has been chosen! They’ll be with us sometime later this month, so keep an eye out, and join us in giving them a warm welcome when they arrive.

That’s not the end of it though - we have three more work experience slots to offer over the next year. Right now, we’re opening applications for another up-and-coming writer to join us for two weeks between July and September.

To apply to do work experience with us between July and September, pop a CV, cover letter and some writing samples in an email to workexperience@rockpapershotgun.com. You don’t need any previous experience! Just tell us how lovely you are, and why you want to spend two weeks learning about games journalism at Rock Paper Shotgun.

Important things to note:

Applications for this second round of work experience close on June 30th, so you have ages to apply. And if you’re wondering whether or not you should, just go for it! You have nothing to lose from sending out an application.
