Ben and I are in the same boat.

I would love to help whenever possible.

Admin- can you elaborate on the need to review 1 product per week? Will these products be produced/funded by overclock.net or is the editor responsible for purchasing the product to test?

The weekly requirement might put a strain on the pocketbook of whoever is selected if not paid for by the site. Monthly or bi-monthly may prove more manageable.

Someone will have a lot on their plate with this position, A full time job working with OCN and I’m sure the possible benefits of working in a position such as this would be great.

Good luck to all who apply, just remember it’s a big job and will require all your skills and time to keep things running smooth… I know I have had management/director positions.

Best of luck!

Hope you can trump me

Im sure the right person will come along for this. I would maybe apply but I have a good full time job and would not have enough time to put into it. This position would be good I think for someone with alot of free time or atleast the time to put into it alongside other things.

I'm sure there are plenty of dedicated people here to take the position. Good luck to all of you!
