We are currently looking for people willing to write information on new cities to be displayed on the website.

Job Title: EDITOR

Location: no requirement: can be from home, you can manage your time.

Package: 500 EUR for a whole city (about 50 small articles) - Work need to be done within 50 days. See template in any city with sections/sub-sections.

Position Description:
Each city follows a specific template that you can find on any city, e.g.: http://www.easyexpat.com/brussels_en.htm
Each article in each section must be international oriented (we are not talking to American only or French only for example - albeit you can put specific information only relevant to the language or nationals, e.g. French insurance coverage in French...etc).
Information can be easily found on the web. However each article must be original (i.e. ABSOLUTELY NO copy/paste) and the best way of doing that is to cross check several source of information.

List of cities to be covered are:
Moscow, Seoul, Vienna, Oslo, Luxembourg, Mexico, Miami, Zurich, Taipei, Hong Kong, Johannesburg, Auckland, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires, Istanbul.

As often as possible, provide sources, useful links.

Write in English.
- Incumbent will edit city articles and related documents for accuracy and stylistic consistency;
- proofread for style, spelling and precise formatting;
- rewrite complex, technical sections so that they are accessible to English as a Second Language (ESL) readers and laypersons;
- assist in updating city articles: add new and revised versions as needed;
- update articles with the latest data for use in proofreading and fact-checking;
- provide progress reports.

Experience Required:
- Ideally a graduate candidate (or erasmus student or intern who needs extra money) with 2 languages (one of them being English + either French, German, Italian, Spanish) who spent/is spending time abroad;
- demonstrated editing and writing abilities;
- familiarity in web search, getting information on the internet and with good written communication skills.

Attention: The final document should be on a HTML form (using tags <h2> or <h3> in titles, etc... I recommend using dreamweaver on any similar text editor that display clean html tags (i.e. not Frontpage), you can get a free copy of it on the Internet and it makes the text formating really easy).

Please contact our team [REF JOBEE262] with your motivation, availability, questions.

We were talking about the rules put in place for air travelling in Europe after the terrorist attempt in Heathrow airport 2 years ago and the paranoid feeling that was spread in England on the behalf of the feel scared factor "feel good factor". There was specific rules applying to passengers departing (the official rules say also entering... but my own experience showed me even travelling with a full bottle of water in my 2 hand luggage from Dubai to Gatwick airport) from UK airports (because everybody knows that terrorists won't be using any other airports) such as only allowed to carry ONE item of hand baggage, smaller than the normal European regulation.

So you might be glad to learn that even such stupid sensible rules are coming to an end and the UK Department for Transport has given approval to a number of UK airports to remove the one-bag restriction on hand baggage.  As a result British Airways and other companies will re-introduce its two-piece hand baggage allowance for passengers departing from the following airports with effect from 7 January 2008:

• London Heathrow
• London City
• Aberdeen
• Edinburgh
• Glasgow
• Manchester
• Newcastle

New rules (hmm not so new for the rest of Europe) are:

1. one standard-sized bag - maximum size of the bag must not exceed 56x45x25cm (22x17.5x9.85in) (including wheels, pockets and handles)
2. In addition, one laptop sized bag, handbag or briefcase
3. A 23kg(51lbs) maximum (for British Airways) bag weight applies and you must be able to lift the bag into the overhead lockers in the aircraft cabin unaided.

Unfortunately the one-bag restriction will remain in place at the following very unsecured  British airports: London Gatwick, Jersey, Newquay
