Think You Have What It Takes to Be the Retirement Planning Guide?

Wednesday February 27, 2008
We're looking for passionate and enthusiastic individual to be the Guide to the Retirement Planning site on About.com!

What sort of information do we want the new Guide to provide?
Well, we're looking for someone who can explain to financial beginners (primarily in the US) the basics on how each of the various retirement plans work, how to invest, how much to invest, how much is necessary during retirement, etc. We're also looking for someone who can speak to the self-employed and small-business owners in the audience who are interested in information on selecting the best retirement plan for themselves or their employees.

What sort of person are we looking for to be the new Guide to Retirement Planning?
Our ideal candidate:
  • A retirement planner or financial advisor who specializes in helping individuals plan for retirement
  • An academic with a specialty in retirement investments
  • A journalist or author who has extensively covered retirement investing and retirement planning. This person must have a specific knowledge of the tax and investing aspects of retirement planning, or be able to report it via financial experts.
If this sounds like you, and you've got excellent writing skills and the desire to reach and teach a broad audience through your writing, why not go over to our application site to learn more about our hiring program and submit an application?
