The Role: Join us at one of Singapores highest-read digital food publications as a food writer. We are the authority in good food and cuisine, utilizing striking honesty and fairness in our articles. For those with an eye for great food, and who dont mind eating their way there, we want you!
Good photography is always a requirement to tell a visual story along with words. You will need to enjoy going to events, talking to hawkers, being proactive and always improving your writing/photography. Hence, odd hours are common in this industry. Proofreading and checking your work are critical before submitting articles to editors. As a food content writer for sethlui.com, you are a curator of great gastronomy and need an eye and taste for the next latest food trend.
Crafting social media images/captions are also part of the job as a holistic digital media creator. Photos have to be of great quality to be published, and all formatting and grammar should be up-to-par. The work we do is neither a corporate 9-5 job, nor a childcare facility; applicants need to be passionate about food, motivated, adventurous, have self-discipline and be serious about developing their professional work skills and ethics. The gastronomical experiences and flexibility you can get while on the job are worth way more than a desk job.
