Does anyone have experience with About.com? I'm interested in applying to be a guide writer and they have a topic which appeals to me.
I also have some of the experience required but not with HTML (which they ask for).
In your experience is it a good site? Do you have tips for the application process? How long did it take you to get accepted?
Thanks so much.
My aunt inlaw works for about as a music writer, but I could not really advise you too much as I have applied 3 times and been rejected on every occasion!
The problem is that competition for every position is extremely fierce!
I wondered about that thisisoli. They have a lot of categories available but they seem to only look at a few each week and from that select writers. It seems to me that the selection process could take a very long time.
In your experience, did they take a long time to get back to you?
It took about 3 months each time for a response, I heard the average response rate for each job is around 30,000 applications, but I am not 100% sure of how accurate that is, it sounds fairly reasonable though considering how well known they are, and the benefits package they give.
WOW - that sounds like huge odds and a long time for a response. Thanks for your replies Oli.
I wonder if anyone here has managed to secure a job?
I just got denied for a job there. It seems like it took forever for the rejection letter. At least 3-6 months. I forgot i even applied for the job. That's how long it too.

I have a problem. Encyclopedial.com has reprinted about a dozen of my articles, word for word, with no credit to me and without permission, and just keeps scooping more out of my hubpages. I cannot find anything on the website about who to contact, or the company that owns it. So I went to one of...
