    Update: Because of the volumes and our gross underestimation of number of applicants, there might be delays in acknowledging the receipt of application. We're taking our own sweet time to review applications.

    There have been several questions asking whether college students can apply. YES! Anyone can apply! Read our first post once for the eligibility criteria. Feel free to refer your friends, cousins, brothers, enemies to this job.

    @ Biggie: Well just stopping by this thread, you should see Techbits by Praveen he provides solutions to many computer related things, they can also be termed as originals.

    @Everyone: I do not want to discourage anyone it is only that I have read him and have not read your articles, you might be even better ๐Ÿ˜€

    Further Update:

    1. Do not use SMS language anywhere in your application. It's a great way to get your application rejected.
    2. 'How to' tutorials do not come under 'Technology, Engineering' news updates. We specifically mentioned picking up 'recent news topics'.

    I can't understand second rule.
    A 'How To' article isn't a 'news item'. News items are typically time bound. Remember that CrazyEngineers VoiCE is Google News Publisher and 99% of our articles should be 'news types'. Check out all our latest VoiCE posts to get an idea.

    Be careful while you show your interest in applying for the blogging job. We always look for bloggers who're quite serious about blogging. It's disastrous to apply for a tech-blogger job without paying attention to text formatting. Casual approach is a strict no.

    Applicants please note - If you are applying as a 'blogger'. Writing a casual email does not make you cool. In fact, it makes you look fool.

    CrazyEngineers VoiCE is read by thousands of industry professionals every day which includes people working at Google, AT&T, Microsoft, CISCO, Infosys, IBM, Toyota and so on.

    Note: The selection procedure is tougher than you'd expect. So apply if you *really* have a passion for writing.
