Posting : Financial Journalists - Moscow (Russia) (fwd)

[Devin P Browne]

I'm a little behind in updating the AATSEEL Job Index due to it being the
end of the school year, seniors grades being due, working on the senior
edition of the school newspaper, and working on a major FL tech grant.  So
in the meantime, I'm forwarding some of these jobs on to SEELANGS.

Financial Journalism in Moscow, Russian Federation ( English)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 ---

We are a leading Russian language Finacial weekly newspaper, established
since 1993 with a circulation of over 60,000 in Russian Federation. We
have, with foreign investment, started an English Language Weekly,
focussing of Russian securities, investment banking, finance and
economy.

We intend to make our paper upto the industry standard and THE final
word on financial journalism in and from Russia. The competetion and the
circumstances of operating a foreign language weekly in Russia make it
an extremely challenging job for every one involved in the publication.
It is imperative that persons reading further and interested must be
highly charged, driven and competetive individuals.

Our current team has English speaking persons but for giving a wider
perpective, better flair to language and reporting, analyses based on
experience and instincts we would like foreign journalists and Editors
to join us.

The posts open are :-

Assosiate Editor   (1)
Sub Editors      (2)
Staff Writers    (2)
Re-Writers    (2)
Journalists/Field Reporters
Advertising Manager   (1)
Internet Edition Manager (1)

Relevant experience of 3-5 years is necessary but writing style, clarity
of thought, simplicty of expression and ability to write on this rather
dry subject of finance in interesting and inviting prose would be most
important considerations.

Computer proficiency and at least 300 Hours of experience on internet
are essential.

Understanding of Russia, Russian language (beginner to middle level -
spoken and written), Russian culture and of the evolution of Russian
Economy for the last 5 years would be important.

We are looking for a young team, that can be cohesive and close knit.

Patience, ability to listen & adapt, accomodate and adjust to harsh
natural conditions, work and find way through the slow, murky and opaque
conditions in economy and politics of a former communist ruled country
are essential traits in personality if you wish to succeed in Russia.

People used to too many comforts, easily irritated by bureacracy,
stone-walling & inefficiencies of system will not be able to survive and
need not apply.

We are keen on applications from the UK & Ireland but shall consider ALL
genuine candidatures.

We must forewarn that living and working conditions in Moscow will be
completely different from anywhere else in the world and can be tough on
families. We prefer single applicants.

The selected persons shall be required to move to Moscow in August 1998.

The promoters are young and ambitious. They have a hands on approach
towards business and the coporate president has had a chequered career
in Russia. He is a team leader and demands as much from his team as he
himself contributes (which usually is a lot). The promoters are open to
share options and the pay shall be in line with the present remuneration
trends in Russia.

All mail, CVs shall be considered in confidence and any further requests
shall be respected.

Further details shall be provided after receipt of firm interest and CV.
